Star Citizen 1.1 is Live! - Reinstallation instructions!

[Hav0k]

Here are the reinstallation instructions from CIG for 1.1. You have to completely uninstall the game. And you MUST USE FIREFOX OR CHROME!

With the advent of 1.1.0, we’re going to be asking players to uninstall the old version and reinstall with the brand new version.

(For information on why this is super important and good for all of us, check out Jeremy Masker’s post here: forums.robertsspaceindustries.c … -0#latest_

We strongly advise players follow these instructions step-by-step to minimize the chance of any unexpected technical issues.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Below are the instructions for how to uninstall and reinstall Star Citizen using the new launcher. These instructions work for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

• Click the Start button at the bottom left of Windows.
• Click on All Programs, then click on the Star Citizen folder.
• Click Uninstall.

At this point, a User Account Control window will pop up asking:

“Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?”

• Click Yes. A Star Citizen Uninstall window will pop up asking:

"Are you sure you want to completely remove StarCitizen and all of its components?

• Click Yes and the Star Citizen Uninstall Wizard will start. Click Uninstall and the previous version of the launcher and the client will be completely removed. You will see the last window informing you “Star Citizen has been removed from this computer.”

Now we’re ready to get the new launcher from our new CDN!

IMPORTANT: You’ll need to use Firefox or Chrome to download the new installer.

• Using Firefox or Chrome, head to robertsspaceindustries.com/download to grab the newest version of the launcher. Once downloaded, run the installer to install the launcher. We recommend (but not require) that you install to the default directory provided.

• As part of the install, you’ll be asked to install and setup DirectX. DirectX is required to play games on Windows.

*** Please note: As part of the DirectX installation, Microsoft will offer you an option to install Bing Bar. Please know you do NOT need install Bing Bar to play Star Citizen. ***

You may get a popup at this point asking to Repair or Remove Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable. This is normal… select Repair and click Next and your DirectX install will be complete.

• Now, the Star Citizen launcher is installed, so make sure the checkbox is checked, click Finish, and the launcher will run.

• Once the launcher is up on your screen, use your normal RSI login and password to log in and begin patching!

As always, if you need technical assistance, please hit up CIG Support at robertsspaceindustries.com/contact.
