Alpha Patch 2.3.1 has been released to Live, and is now available to players! This patch is primarily focused around bug and stability fixes.
Your launcher should show "2.3.1 – 341778" as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Live client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Live.
