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).

It isn't random for me, every single time I click + it will crash. Sometimes it will crash just by opening that tab. Sometimes the clicking-of-+ will actually save and then crash. Since it isn't in the logs I'm guessing it isn't getting a chance to log the crash. Bummer.

As for FPS, no it's absolutely perfect when playing. During that particular session I did a lot of multitasking and switching windows. There was an entire half hour or so where it was running while i was compiling crap. I'd be willing to bet that those performance printouts happened while I wasn't playing.

So as a workaround is there a way to remove the skill requirements or give the skills by way of pilot save editing? I've played up until I can get a nice ship & fits but I can't pilot it.

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).

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.

Just updated the Steam version of the game (all 3: win, mac, linux).

Please, do another round of testing! This time should be more stable, and definitely MORE stable on linux.

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!

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

Found it in "~/.config/unity3d/AtomicTorch Studio Pte. Ltd./VoidExpanse"

http://pastebin.com/PuqQvRdn < here it is. There's only the one log file, called "Player.log".
http://pastebin.com/RWUi8Tst < here's another. I started a new game, blew up a pirate, and it locked up after going to the hangar after landing.

EDIT:
Found the actual logs! They are located in ~/Documents/AtomicTorchStudio/VoidExpanse/Logs
Here's a tarball of them all. Have fun!
https://owncloud.lennier.info/public.php?service=files&t=1a88c293edb63cabff41471a0a242b3c

what subdirectories are there?
The structure should be something like Logs, Mods, Saves, Screenshots, Server_dotNET, Server_Mono, VoidExpanse_Data, and then some xmls and the exe. (bear in mind i'm on windows, so I may not be exact)

Permissions are correct, Steam can write here just fine.

Hi Valkor, you could send the logs found in the game directory, in a handy logs folder 
There might be a crash dump folder too, usually named the date/time.

Hopefully there'll be useful info in these files for the devs 

I see no logs in ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/VoidExpanse

Hm, could you please provide more details about crashed and other issues?

I don't see any logs nor any relevant console output. If there's a --verbose or something I'd love to know what it is. The actual crash itself is just the application locking up and having to be kill -9'd.

Valkor, Great! I've sent you a PM with the key.

Yaaaay! Unfortunately...

Crashes about a minute after starting. If I'm quick I can start a new map and dock. Opening the video settings crashes it immediately.

The normal Linux version runs fine for me, save for the occasional crash in the "RPG" screens.

[great]

I appreciate your willingness to help, however we would still prefer to give the remaining keys to people who could help us with testing on Mac/Linux as I mentioned before.

I heard that you need folks who game on Linux. Admittedly I only have about 6 hours of gameplay but I'd be glad to try out a Steam version, as Steam & its games run flawlessly for me. I'd love to be able to count VoidExpanse among the many that play great in Linux and am willing to help make it happen.
