🕹️(Monday) We are opening up the HOTFIX channel on the launcher soon for a 3.23.1a hotfix that will connect to the LIVE servers. This fixes a handful of server and client crashes, a deadlock, and landing service not functioning issues. If all is well it will be pushed over into the LIVE servers when ready.

Edit: In the game launcher, be sure to select the HOTFIX option for the game environment to connect to the Live servers that way.

If you don’t want to download another copy of the entire game, rename your “LIVE” folder to “HOTFIX”.
Default folder path: "C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen"

— Edit2 —
This hotfix does not require you to clear your shaders, since it creates a new folder, but when it rolls over completely to live there’s a stronger chance that it will use the same folder that’s already there. To clear your shaders follow the instructions below.

For hotfixes like this, I strongly recommend that you clear your shader folder:

• Delete the entire sc-alpha-3.23.1_{id} folder located under:
    "%localappdata%\Star Citizen"

      Or if you like typing in the full path:
        "C:\Users{username}\AppData\local\Star Citizen"
