Star Citizen apologizes for the chaotic launch of Alpha 3.18 as the game enters a partial outage state

We’ve tracked the SNAFU that has been StarCitizens alpha 3.18 was released in the last few days, so we’ll of course keep checking, starting with an apology from CIG, which can be found in the game’s weekly event schedule post.

“While we anticipated that there might be some initial issues at launch and have tried to set expectations accordingly, we still find it unacceptable that so many of you have not been able to properly enjoy 3.18. Please note that we have our hands full trying to resolve any remaining issues and get things running smoothly as quickly as possible. Although we have already seen improvements in many areas, there is still work to be done and the right people are working on it.”

As for the current state of the game, which has been upgraded from a major outage yesterday to a partial outage today as the developers are taking their time to validate the outcome of the infrastructure maintenance. The weekly post also includes links to the issue reporting page and a list of known issues for those who want to be kept informed of the situation.
