Struggling to Enjoy Star Citizen – Too Many Bugs? Need Advice

Hey everyone,

I really want to love this game. I started playing two days ago and have put in a lot of time trying to get things to work, but I still haven’t been able to complete a single mission due to constant bugs and technical issues.

Day 1: The Elevator Nightmare

The first major issue I ran into was at the very beginning: I tried to call the elevator to my hangar, but when the doors opened, there was just an empty black box. I thought maybe it hadn’t loaded properly, so I stepped inside… only to fall straight through the station into the void. After multiple restarts, I finally got an elevator that actually worked.

When I made it to my hangar, I ran into another issue: the hangar itself didn’t load. I stepped out of the elevator and found myself floating in zero gravity inside an empty room. After some searching, I learned that this is apparently a common bug where the hangar doesn’t render properly.

Day 2: Progress… and Then Another Roadblock

After a lot of troubleshooting and restarts, I finally managed to get my ship up and running! I even flew to another station, hoping things would improve. However, when I arrived, I couldn’t land because I never received a docking marker or a landing pad assignment. I tried multiple times, but no luck.

At this point, I feel stuck. I want to enjoy the game, I really do, but I keep running into issues that stop me from making any real progress.

Is there something I’m missing? Are there workarounds for these problems, or do I just have to wait for a patch? How do you guys deal with this level of instability?

I’d love to hear any tips or advice from the community. Thanks in advance!
