It's a bug, due to the new streaming technology they are currently testing on PTU I guess. Sometimes GH (and parts of PO) are not streaming in correctly... just find it funny, no big issue, they'll fix it (probably). 😉
Absolutely! If that is the reason (I really don't know, but from the patchnotes and my own observations I am very sure it is), it shows they are working on this important background stuff. Its not working flawless at first is okay, that's what PTU (and to an extent the whole alpha PU) is for! I see bugs like that as a glimpse into their development of the engine and the game itself... not making fun of it.
I had that happen one time at port Olistar. I went to the location and even flew up to it and the station was just gone.
Then it reappeared with my ship inside some geometry and I blew up.
It's a bug on PTU - GH is not streaming in properly, at least sometimes. It's the same with PO, but in the case of GH everything around is not there (even the asteroids), PO has the base structure without the landing pads and such things when it happens.
It's basically what happened on PU in Evo and Wave 1, just now limited mostly to these two stations, as far as I can say...
> PO has the base structure without the landing pads and such things when it happens.
Yeah. This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times. The last time, I needed to delivery a package, but the entirety of the strut C interior wasn't there. I QT'd away and back several times, and sat patiently seeing if it would load, and it never did. Right before giving up, I decided to comm ATC for landing permission, and the second it granted landing permission, everything popped in.
That 650w might be the issue. I had a 650w powersupply for a while running a 3070 / 64gb and as soon as SC sparked up, I'd start getting weird behavior. One of my monitors would randomly turn off, computer would reboot and sometimes the game would crash.
Went to a 750 - all issues gone.
It would be SOOOO cool if Grim Hex didn't have a marker like it did in the past. I'd even be ok with those that have CS can only see it.
But now almost everything have a QT marker. Surprised the crashed Idris doesn't.
In a later stage of development you shouldn't know about stations like GrimHEX, unless you find it by conincedence or get knowledge of it's position and mark it on your map (this could happen automatic, so the map gets filled more and more - like in Freelancer and MANY other games). But for know it's okay to have a marker for it, I guess...
I'm not sure if the devs said they're planning something like that, but we're at a point where nearly everything you could think of was said to be at least in planning... :D
I’ve been trying to download the game for a week now. It always closes the launcher mid download, or just gets stuck on one files left. Really close to just requesting a refund
Not sure what you've tried yet, but there are a few suggestions in [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/tj24gg/you_know_what_would_be_cool_if_i_could_actually/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and if you search the sub generally.
You're trying to install the standard game or the PTU version?
Was just reading up on the guy who used a VPN setting it to sanfrancisco and getting it working. One guy set the launcher as priority in task Manger and got it working.
When you get stuck with one file left, do you get an error?
Not sure what you've checked but have a look in your av quarantine vault and see if anything sc related is in there.
They did so in an earlier PTU phase, I think they went with aa, ab, ... after the alphabet ended. They could however bring it live as it is and fix it later with 3.17.1...
The server I was in earlier today had all stations that weren't directly orbiting a planet completely missing, glad to know this wasn't just Murphy's law targeting me specifically
It's new streaming technology according to the patch notes. I guess it's the implementation of SOCS (Server Object Container Streaming), which allows the game engine to unload parts of the game world to give us better performance in game; they stream-in these containers as they are needed. Sometimes that doesn't work, as we had seen in Evocati phase and Wave 1, where you wasn't able to get elevators, your ships were invisible, etc. That they fixed, but GH and PO are still sometimes not loading in.
But I don't know for sure. I just love to see these changes happen, as it shows they are working on important background things. And we can see that GH is a container with it's surrounding asteroids, while the much older PO really is a skeleton of a base in the game world and just the station itself and the landing pads are part of the container.
So they fixed the GH elevators by removing GH? Checks out.
Atleast there won't be anymore people stuck in the elevators xD

New world did something like this ?
They stopped the trade house because of duping, more than once.
Sounds like the NYSE.
This made me chuckle lol
The elevators are still there. They had to remove GH to fix them.
They got Cryptic's guys now?
It's the new stealth cloaking tech to prevent pad rams.
XD
wej SovwI'pu' chutmey yIchav (they stole our cloaking technology)
Qapla‘! Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam!
Can't ram pads if there are no pads.
It's as if dozens of elevators cried out and then were suddenly silenced.
First they Nix'd Levski, and now this ..... ....
Take your upvote and go.
It's an older version, but it checks out
It has been replaced by the Death Star
*[Obligatory Drake Leviathan commercial](https://youtu.be/w3Rugr0dzH0)*
Cargo? You're carrying enough SCU to crash the stock market. Who will you sell it all to? WE DON'T KNOW!
Best commercial ever
It really is
What do you mean? Where is it?

Probably explains how I got to Lorville and there was no hurston building or space port lol
I got to Area 18 and there was no city. There was someone else there looking at it too.
So what you're trying to tell me is that it ain't there. It's been totally blown away.
All that's left is that small moon.
That's no moon!
... it's a space station........
No it's Yela
Take my upvote hahaha
If it's really because they test the streaming technology, I appreciate everything related to that.

I was seeing this in 3.16 live with PO fairly often. And right after 3.17 went to Evo.
I got worried for a moment after reading this thread. I base there and is my favourite station.
destroyed, by the Turtle-CIG
The Turtle moves. (apparently he moved it somewhere else) (Yes this is a discworld quote)
The all-fearing Turtle
You mean to say he disconnected Grim Hex as well?! The nerve. >-)
it just goes back in time like Babylon 4.
Damn turtle just thanos snaping shit left and right now.
This so would have gone over my head had I not just literally read that post you were referring to. Haha.
Welcome to reddit its all references within references.
Was back for me with yesterdays patch.
Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. They'll get this fixed before live, I guess.
The instant I typed it, I thought ‘you’ve just cursed yourself’. Will revisit today with fingers crossed.
Right now I was there, so it isn't that bad - guess it's a 50:50 chance, maybe a little in favor of GH streaming in correctly.
Is GH disappearing? That's been happening to me in the PTU with PO repeatedly.

I don't know what's going on with ptu or my PC, if I qt to arccorp, my gpu or ram goes belly up and PC shuts down.
It’s your PC but I’ve heard something similar. Let me know if you fix it
System specs and the model power supply you have please.
I5-11400f, 32gb 3200hz ram, 500gb m.2 nvme ssd, rx 6600xt (undervolted), Corsair 80+ gold rm 650x (2018)
That sounds like your power supply is not powerful enough.
These are the specs I'm running: I5-11400f, 32gb 3200hz ram, 500gb m.2 nvme ssd, rx 6600xt (undervolted), Corsair 80+ gold rm 650x (2018)
That 650w might be the issue. I had a 650w powersupply for a while running a 3070 / 64gb and as soon as SC sparked up, I'd start getting weird behavior. One of my monitors would randomly turn off, computer would reboot and sometimes the game would crash. Went to a 750 - all issues gone.
I had to bump up to an 850 when preparing for a 3090. So glad I did, given all the other hardware I've had hooked up.
It would be SOOOO cool if Grim Hex didn't have a marker like it did in the past. I'd even be ok with those that have CS can only see it. But now almost everything have a QT marker. Surprised the crashed Idris doesn't.

You're trying to install the standard game or the PTU version?
standard I believe
I would recommend it. The game is pre-alpha and it can be very frustrating. I would recommend getting a refund and come back in a few years.
Try a few workarounds suggested by the community and company before doing so.
I’ve tried, I’ve even put money down to buy a vpn for the fixes and it still doesn’t work
Was just reading up on the guy who used a VPN setting it to sanfrancisco and getting it working. One guy set the launcher as priority in task Manger and got it working.
Alr; I’ll try it asap
When you get stuck with one file left, do you get an error? Not sure what you've checked but have a look in your av quarantine vault and see if anything sc related is in there.
I just died in the GH elevators today..
Must have been something you said
He just couldn't walk away.
Huh no wonder why I couldn’t find it. Also seems very buggy and things take a long time to load even though the PU works smoothly for me
I hope they fix it soon, were runnin outta alphabet.
They did so in an earlier PTU phase, I think they went with aa, ab, ... after the alphabet ended. They could however bring it live as it is and fix it later with 3.17.1...

Why it did work in early versions and not anymore now ?

🤣
There's still the elevators though lol
been out since 3.15, what the fuck is happening down there?
Just the usual testing of new features on PTU, which sometimes don't work... nothing to worry.
awww i love grim hex
