Star Citizen Alpha Patch 3.23.0
Alpha Patch 3.23.0 has now been released onto the LIVE Environment! Patch should now show: VERSION 3.23.0-LIVE.9171682.
It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER and Shader folders 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\StarCitizen\LIVE. The Shader folders can be found here %localappdata%\Star Citizen.
Characters in this new environment will be built from LTP data so items such as medpens, ammo, rentals, and refinery jobs will be lost.
