Star Citizen 4.10.1 patch summary: what changed

Live since 16 Sept 2026 · build 4.10.1-LIVE.12650677 · updated 11 Nov 2026

In short

  • The Orison Relief Support event is live, offering six SecondWind gear rewards for completing rebuild contracts until 4.10.2.
  • Ground vehicles now enter a soft death state instead of jumping straight to destroyed, matching how ships already behave.
  • Hauling contracts finally distribute cargo correctly across all pickup markers, so you won't arrive to find one spot holding everything.

What changed

Alpha 4.10.1 is a focused minor update built around the Orison Relief Support event and 37 bug fixes targeting session-ending problems.

Event — Orison Relief Support

  • A time-limited event running until 4.10.2 tasks players with rebuilding Orison after the Nine Tails attack
  • Four providers (Cornerstone Developments, Covalex, Ling Family Hauling, Foxwell) offer gathering, hauling, crafting, and combat contracts
  • Progress is personal and unlocks six rewards in sequence: an S-38 pistol, light armor, a rifle, medium armor, an SMG, and heavy armor — all granted as finished items
  • Party contracts split points equally among members

Gameplay

  • Ground vehicles now have a soft death state, sitting inert when disabled rather than going straight to destroyed
  • Harvested creature and plant loot (horns, pearls, eggs, fruit, and more) now drops in graded quality tiers
  • Barrel compensators and stabilizers in all three sizes are now available from the general loot pool

Missions and hauling

  • Multi-pickup contract cargo is now spread across all markers by SCU weight rather than piling into one location
  • Introductory refueling contracts no longer incorrectly ask for quantum fuel alongside hydrogen
  • Battaglia's follow-up story contracts and the Tactical Strike Group Full Strike stall are both resolved

Ships, locations, and UI

  • Drake Clipper hull and door damage is restored after overlapping collision shapes were removed
  • Orison armistice zones are active again; the Lazarus Complex irradiated egg now appears reliably
  • Aegis Sabre livery placeholder textures on landing gear are fixed; the Sabre series received an audio remake
  • ASOP terminal greyed-out retrieval button, freight elevator stuck-transfer states, and ATC keybinding failures are all corrected

Tech

  • Three client crashes and two server crashes closed, plus 26 further stability fixes carried forward from post-4.10.0 hotfixes
  • Memory allocation and graphics issues including broken water shading and hologram rendering resolved
