How to avoid the worst bugs in Star Citizen (as of v4.1.1)
A decent number of the 4.1.0 issues have been fixed/removed since the last list. The Pyro V quantum issue isn't new, but getting stranded out there is not fun, so I added it in. I also updated the ATLS teleport issue with a new possible workaround.
The first trick you'll need to learn is how to Server/Region Hop. Some of the worst bugs require just leaving the current server and going to a different one.
To force a server change you'll need to exit back to menu and change your region to something else.
Note: If you attempt to start the game in the same region, the game leans toward placing you in the server where you've been most recently.
Elevators
Don't press up against the door when waiting for an elevator to arrive, it might push you out of the station as it arrives and physicalizes.
Do not enter an elevator immediately, always wait for the doors to open and verify that the elevator is actually there.
Don't sprint into an elevator full of other players.
To avoid falling out of your ship during quantum:
Don't stand up immediately from your seat the second you enter quantum.
Don't jump around like the floor is lava.
Don't use the stairs on the Idris while it is in Quantum.
Don't change armor/undersuit while in quantum (might be fixed in 4.1.1?).
If you're encountering frequent game crashes...
Only use the ASOP terminals inside of your hangar to spawn your ship.
If you collect a refinery job send the cargo to the station instead of to a ship.
Whenever warping around a planet ALWAYS be ready to cancel the warp by switching from NAV to SCM.
Don't jump between Orbital Markers (OMs) at Pyro V Green Gas Giant (or be extremely careful)
If you come across an invincible player, use a takedown move, then again while they're on the ground.
if you come across invincible/desynced NPCs, use a takedown move or...
Always turn off engines when landing anywhere with gravity.
Always leave engines on when exiting your ship anywhere without gravity.
Do not land on asteroids (particularly the ones outside of the Pyro asteroid bases).
How to not die when using the ATLS.
If you can't get a hospital room...
If you're unable to jump through a wormhole...
If you get stuck in a wall/rock...
Don't send/receive party invites while the sender/recipient are in an instanced location (any elevator or hangar) or else you will not see their marker.
If you can't put a fuse into a fuse door...
Refueling/repairing "landing" screen issues
If you use Nvidia DLSS, hold off on updating to Nvidia app version 11.3.01.218 since this will break DLSS in Star Citizen, stick with version 11.2.01.337 for now.
If you're always respawning at the wrong hospital, have a friend incapacitate you and then quickly revive you.
