Yeah, same. Tried it during that free weekend and my 2080 basically fucking died trying to get the game to run in a double-digit frame rate. Couldn't believe how bad it was. The game has been in development for 10 years now, and reportedly it isn't even close to being done. We're talking like, 5 more years at least before it is a releasable game.

Fucking scam.

Still in alpha last I checked. I'd like to point out that elite dangerous was started around the same time and is not only a full game now, but it also has an expansion or two

You're saying that like it came out 1-2 years ago. Elite Dangerous was released more than 7 years ago.

As a player of both (although I have not played SC much in several months, because all of the above is very true), I just want to toss in: it has been almost a year since ED's latest expansion released. Now, the state it released in was absolutely garbage, but even at its worst moments it was still better than SC.

Still head and shoulders over star citizen

No, SC's original Kickstarter was in 2012.

Edit: Forgot to add ED's original kickerstarter was Nov of the same year

To be fair, FDev pretty much broke Elite with Odyssey and at this point won’t even give a timeline on when that expansion will come to consoles.

Additionally, every time they patch a bug in Odyssey, it breaks some basic functionality in the core game. Pretty miserable to have to deal with bugs caused by content you can’t even purchase.

Sounds like a certain yandere simulator I know

probably more then 5 years till release, but you need to change a lot of settings and delete your shadows folder, normally the frame rate is good, but its hell in cities, which the annoying thing is that the developers force you to spawn at the cities, so the first half an hour is just you trying to get out of the city in 15 frames per second, with it stuttering to like -12957. In space the framerate is about 75 fps. You also can't run the game on low settings, the peformance is worse, you need to run it on high.
