Last night CIG released the latest iteration of the Star Citizen PU on Amazon's Lumberyard game engine.

The new game engine, Lumberyard, being based on Crytek's CryEngine allows deeper integration into the Amazon Web Server cloud.

I know that the patcher has been giving a few people a problem in not finishing downloads, but the release to Live of 2.6 went a lot smoother than the updates for the PTU. 2.6L was the last one I got to run as M,N, and O failed to finish downloading for me and sitting there with only 3MB left to download and nothing I did would persuade it to finish, then it went live and I had to start downloading again but I waited until this morning and it has not long finished.

Reading reports that it is a lot more stable and giving some people hours of play time without a crash sounds good.

Righ I'm off to give it a try...
