Star Citizen: Patch 3.18.0v Resolves Kiosk UI Black Screen Issue

Star Citizen is a space trading and combat simulation game developed by Cloud Imperium Games. This title is still in alpha, but it is continually being developed by the company. What’s more, Star Citizen has a thriving community, so even if the game still lacks some stuff, you can enjoy it by playing with other people.

Recently, Patch 3.18.0v was deployed in the game’s PTU or Public Test Universe. It doesn’t bring any new content but it is a welcome one, thanks to the plethora of bug fixes it provides.

One of the biggest issues resolved in the latest update for Star Citizen concerns terminals and kiosks. More specifically, the bug that prevented them from loading their user interface and just displaying a black screen, which is now fixed.

Additionally, the issue where you could purchase items beyond your inventory’s capacity has been addressed.
