Star Citizen Alpha Patch 2.1.2 Released, See the Changes Here

Star Citizen's latest update has arrived. Cloud Imperium Games has released Alpha Patch 2.1.2, which is described by the developer as a "very targeted bug fix patch for Crusader and Arena Commander."

You'll know you have the right version if your launcher shows "2.1.2-315233" as the client version, Cloud Imperium explained on the game's website. The studio also recommends that you delete your USER folder for the Public client after installing the patch. Full instructions are available here.

Cloud Imperium also directed users to this log of known issues and encouraged players to let the studio know if they encounter other problems when playing.
