Star Citizen 1.1.6 is now out with a new launcher and it means you need to
uninstall the old version of Star Citizen. Install instructions and the link to download the new launcher are below.
QuoteWe are pleased to announce that Star Citizen Alpha 1.1.6 is now live! 1.1.6 includes the brand new Star Citizen launcher, a number of bug fixes and balance changes. You can find the complete patch notes here.
Alpha 1.1.6 introduces matchmaking logic that will now match players against each other based on past performance, as well as made several changes to rules of Vanduul Swarm, Battle Royale, and Squadron Battle.
Also, we are deprecating the old Launcher v1.6.3 with the new Launcher v2.3.4 today, which drastically improves download speeds, using up to 100% of your available bandwidth. It also currently uses non-P2P torrent technology to only replace the files you need. This Launcher is also built 100% in-house (as opposed to the old one that used third party technology) so we’re excited to continue to improve the user experience and integrate more user-friendly features at the click of a button.
- You’ll first want to uninstall the old version of the game as the old Launcher will no longer allow you to log in.
- Next, install the new version from https://robertsspaceindustries.com/download

I am seeing far higher download speeds than I used to, so whatever they have done seems to be working. It's a 25GB download and I'm seeing in excess of 20MB/s (160+Mbps) most of the time (see picture).
Not sure if I have had the music turned off on the launcher since the beginning, but I heard it this morning for the first time and like it!

trying but not getting very far.. Perhaps their servers are getting hit at the moment?
It's really weird and perhaps just on my rig but when I go to launch Star Citizen it hangs on the login. I can't even type my name or PW.

If you are using the
OLD launcher it will hang on log in. You need to follow the above instructions and download the NEW launcher (and uninstall the old version of SC). Treat this one like a fresh installation.
Did that. I think anyway.

If your launcher desktop icon is still black then it is the old one. Look for a new white one with the CIG logo on your desktop. The new one does not replace the old icon, it's a brand new one.
yup - white
Very wierd, mine logs in right away, client version 1.1.6 :unsure:
Mine keeps failing

Bottom right should say client 1.1.6, but it sounds like you have the updated launcher.
Did you update the firewall to allow it access to the internet?

It does when you eventually get passed the login screen. Managed to get that far but then it crashes.. It's bugged for me so I'm going to leave it.
Go to settings on the launcher and do a validate fiels (or whatever it is called).

Same problem here. Using Win10, latest patches etc etc.
Anything on the forums about a similar problem?

Yes. The recommendation are disable AV, drop audio sampling to 96 and install .NET 3.5
None of which work for me ...
I'll keep an eye out for any other solutions then, sorry you're having problems.

Success! I have it downloading a fresh copy now.
My fix was to change the output audio device away from the usual STX2 to the razor surround crapware.
Then I disabled audio in the launcher and changed the default audio device back.
I'm downloading the new version now 80Mbps, 42 minutes total. The rest of the LAN is slow but who cares.

They updated the music with this new launcher.
It's similar, but a lot better as there's more variation, but keeps a nice pumping rhythm with the classical beats.
Looks like I'll be listening to it for another 2 hours before this update downloads!
I really hope the joystick works better with this version and I can actually complete the landing in the tutorial :)
