Hammish, ok, I will investigate the issue.

I'll continue here... AI next issue

https://cloud.kunix.org/public.php?service=files&t=4458dcd923f49f49e6a7d5fc4667a111

let me know what you need, here are the player logs:

https://cloud.kunix.org/public.php?service=files&t=4f522eca9dd4cfd882fb38e10dc8e811

Is the game working now except this issue? How often this issue happens?
Please try to increase the MSAA setting to x4 and set the UI anti-aliasing to "MSAA" mode. This may help.

Well whatever I try I can't get it to work... any other tips?

I have some ideas, sent you a PM.

It isn't random for me, every single time I click + it will crash.

That's good for debugging! I've sent you a PM.

Also, with new patch I'm not able to actually launch BTC now

Hello! In case of a strange errors/unhandled exceptions always send us a log, screenshot and the mod itself please - because it's 100% our fail.
So please upload the mod somewhere and send me a PM with link.
Regards!

What happens is that steam says I am playing VoidExpanse but no screen ever opens, and then steams says I am play no game anymore.
When I click play it shows for 1 sec the screen preparing to play VE and then it disappears.
I am redownloaded, verified integrity etc

I've tested the game now on my Mac for several hours and yes, I reproduced this issue. I need to say the Unity is so unstable on Mac... usually it works (especially if the game started without any problem - then it usually works flawlessly, that's why I think the game was stable enough...), but freezes happens often upon quit, or process remains opened after quit (but no window/screen present). The only way to fix it now - kill "VoidExpanse" process from the Process Monitor application and start it again from Steam.
BTW, we decided to remove the "retina" mode on Mac as it requires "old fullscreen overlay" Unity setting, which is incompatible with Steam overlay features, and you cannot switch on another applications while playing (this also became a very big problem if the game freezes!). Shame on Unity they're still not supporting retina resolutions on "windowed" Unity setting on Mac... in Windows it works right of the box (and with much better FPS).
Hope we can improve stability on Mac in next build.

Good to know! Here ya go! Unfortunately I don't see anything that looks like a stack trace in that. I haven't played since the aforementioned crash.

Hmm, looks like some kind of "random" bug, we can't reproduce it whatever we do... If it happens again, please send us logs and screenshots of any exception/stacktrace message.
BTW, I noticed FPS is horrible low - have you tried decreasing the screen resolution? At 1280x720 it should run much better. Also playing with the frame limit (V-Sync) setting may greatly improve performance - on Mac & Linux the V-Sync is often broken, reducing FPS too much... so better to keep the frame limit setting on "60 FPS" (or "30 FPS" for not-so-new laptops to reduce excessive heat).

Totally playable! Until I go to distribute stat points. Crashes as soon as I hit the + next to a skill.

Other than that no problems so far!

Thanks for reporting! How often the crash happens? Could you upload the client log please? The log file you've provided is the local game server log and it doesn't contain any crash information. The client log located somewhere at ~/.config/unity3d/ (Player.log file, unfortunately we're unable to write it into "Logs" folder yet).

Can't get the game started on my mac, can you remind me where to find the logs on Mac?

It is located at "~/Library/Logs/Unity/" file Player.log. No problems running the game on my MacBook Retina.

FlessenGreendart, thanks for reporting! Some quests are still broken, we decided to push this update to verify the other reported issues has been fixed.
"Test character name" is very strange issue, will try to reproduce and fix it.

Hey, quick crash report for you

Thanks for reporting! Fixed!

Is seems we've fixed all reported issues, including Linux build freezes problems. Going to release new Steam test build today!

Found the actual logs!

Thank you for logs. Issue reproduced. We're working on fix.

Trying the Steam Version for the first time, on Win7 64 bits computer now.

Hello! Thanks for reporting about issues and posting screenshots!
It's very strange that game runs the game server in console window (it should be hidden). Do you have this problem with the last stable build, downloaded from AtomicTorch.com?

Could you please run game until it crashes and upload the game logs somewhere? Logs located in two folders:
1. "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\VoidExpanse\Logs" (we need the whole folder, it contains all server logs);
2. "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\VoidExpanse\VoidExpanse_Data\output_log.txt" (we need only this file, it contains a client log from the last launch).
Regards!

A few bugs and things I've noticed

Thanks for reporting! All issues will be fixed soon. The Notifications UI also will be redesigned to complete UI revamp.
Regards!

Permissions are correct, Steam can write here just fine.

Hello! For any Unity3D game the log files located at ~/.config/unity3d/ folder. Could you please run the game again until it crashes again and share the log with us. Thanks!

Mining speed (+45%), Mining amount (+50%) and the mining experience bonus (+100%) are not working as they should.

Thanks for reporting! We've located the issue and fixed it.
Regards!

Hello! Thanks for reporting. Will be fixed in the next version (but sorry, savegames from 0.10.4 will be incompatible with next version as we do many changes in the game code and scripts).

To fix a broken savegame, you can modify savegame data manually:
1. open saved folder and locate folder with broken savegame data.
2. rename "world.data" to "world.data.zip".
3. extract it and open "data" file in editor (the Notepad++ works good for such a big file);
4. find all strings like this and replace "true" with "false":

Code Select Expand

"isDead": true
5. save the "data" file and add it to "world.data.zip" archive (with overwrite of current value). Save!
6. rename "world.data.zip" to "world.data".
7. enjoy recovered savegame! (after loading your ship will blow up and respawn on the last visited space station)

Regards!
