Great news for all of our members who are interested in playing star citizen it looks like we may have a DFM release as of early next week, i have linked the report from Chris Roberts for you below.
Now remember though that multiplayer access is being staggered, so some people will get in before others, we will try to have a DFM training on Thursday and Sunday but will be dependent on that access, i hope to see you all soon
Tiger out
The news today is positive! We’re pleased to report that we believe tonight’s internal Release Candidate resolves all of the bugs (pending testing) you read about last night, including the two critical “show stopper” issues. Arena Commander V.8 is looking more stable than before, and hopefully additional testing on this new build will not uncover more blocking issues.
What happens next? The Arena Commander team will be working through the weekend to test this build, and fix any issues as they are found. Next week, we will have another “go/no-go” meeting with the worldwide development teams. Our next update will be on Monday and we will continue to update you on any issues and their impact to the schedule then.
Even if tonight’s build is the one you end up playing, it needs to be put through its paces by QA to ensure that we haven’t introduced any new issues. We have team members from around the company scheduled to play test this weekend in order to verify the integrity of the build.
Meanwhile, we’ve seen posts from some backers wondering why they’ve only seen images of the Hornet in Arena Commander. To put that to rest, Zane has captured images of all three ships in action! These are unaltered screenshots, taken within the game itself (from a camera in back of the character head.) We’re very proud of how this game is looking!
The team has also put together a short teaser showing some of what you’ll be playing soon. This, again, is 100% in-game footage. You’re looking at Arena Commander’s AI battling each other in real time! Check it out below.

The wait has been long, but soon my ships will feel the blood taste of victims!
Good news! Great to see its coming along.
*licks my fangs and sharpens my claws,
nothing better to a tiger then spreading the blood of his victims, i like your plan :)
This Is Fantastic NEWS!
Greetings Citizens,
We’re almost there! A weekend of hard testing revealed several blockers in the current Release Candidate. The team has worked to resolve these today, and believe we have a good build now. Our internal QA group will be testing it overnight tonight, with our next “go/no-go” meeting scheduled for early tomorrow morning. The good news is that we’re closer than ever, and our efforts over the weekend had the team resolving issues on the fly as they were found by QA.
We will update you tomorrow morning (US time) on the results of the go/no-go meeting.
One warning before we get started: the updated launched for Arena Commander will completely replace your Hangar Module's USER folder. This is where CryEngine saves screenshots by default... so if you have previous screenshots (or other saved data) that you want to preserve, please go ahead and move them now BEFORE patching to Arena Commander.
