Star Citizen Patch 3.1.0a (PTU)

Alpha Patch 3.1.0a has been released to the Evocati, and is now available to test! Patch should now show: PTU-728940 

It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizenPTU\LIVE. 

New Known Issues: 

The updated MobiGlas interface is not centered from the pilot seat, cutting off the lower half and disabling menu options. This makes setting destinations in mG difficult to impossible. W/A: Use the ship's 3D radar navmap interface.

Characters head shakes when firing weapons after accessing MobiGlas.

USER.cfg settings:

r_displayinfo = 3

Testing Focus

Some minor updates to the ship list. We have turned on everything related to service beacons and you are now cleared to test, bug, and provide feedback on its functionality. There have also been some performance tweaks put in that we would like everyone to hammer on. Hop into the US PU and travel about doing as many AI spawning missions or interdictions as possible.
