Dear Galactic Survivalists.

We would like to address some of the concerns we have seen in the comments on our initial ‘leaving Early Access/Alpha’ announcement.

The reasons?

Plain and simply: We want to leave Early Access on our 5th anniversary release, because we are confident that the game is now in a shape, where it no longer needs that supporting wheels tag. We are not running out of money (most read concern) and there are no dark entities that are forcing us to do that (lots of funny theories :D) .

On the contrary, we are sure the game is playable in quality, although not free of issues, that is simply not reflected anymore by how the meaning of an Early Access tag is understood or talked about even nowadays.

As a consequence, leaving Early Access also means to remove the “Alpha” tags, as they are somehow tied to this stage. But there needs to be some sort of new versioning. While we did not want to proceed with simply counting furt... Read more

& also see in the news section -> https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/383120/view/3431122876659970591

The aim is EXP release in mid April unless a show stopper is found but no set in stone date just yet as of replying here.

Game Survey 2020 thread [empyriononline.com]

Hi Galactic Survivalist!

We hope you all had a great start in 2020! We have been a bit silent on the current progress on Empyrion and you deserve to know what is going on behind the curtain.

While we still run smaller patches on the Alpha 11.5.x branch, the development on the Alpha 12 features (we are working on since early January), have already made some noticeable progress.

That being said, we want to share with you a brief summary of some of the features that will be in the next major update. These blog posts are currently in preparation and will be released in the next few days. Please excuse the delay.

In the meantime, we would like to announce our GAME SURVEY 2020

I followed every single step. Game launches fine (altho it seems like its crashing), but when I select new game and go into the loadingscreen, after loading the planets to 100% the screen goes black. 10 seconds later it crashes to the desktop, closing down steam completely and 50% of the time forcing me to restart my computer as well, be...

• In the Empyrion root folder which can be found by right clicking on Empyrion in your steam library > Properties > Local files > Browse local files look for 'Empyrion.props' & open it with notepad++ or notepad & remove the # & return space before the parameter for example:
  
  # DisableTextureStreaming = true
  
  DisableTextureStreaming = true
  
  then save the file & try starting the game again.
  
  If there is still a crash at this point supply the logs folder that is generated for the build you are on found by right clicking on Empyrion in your steam lib...

Yes but this kind of issue unfortunately doesn't appear until a server becomes highly populated.

Update: April 23, 2019
We are really sorry, but we had to temporarily revert back to Unity 2018.1 (Alpha 9.6 - Build 2307) since UNET causes some problems that we need to address first. Your save games should be fully compatible with Alpha 9.6.

Alpha 9.7 (Build 2316) will stay on the EXPERIMENTAL branch.

The options & difficulty settings are now in the gameoptions.yaml which can be found in the scenario folder of the scenario setup to be used in the dedicated.yaml.

For example look at the gameoptions.yaml for the Default Multiplayer scenario here:

unfortunately this happens from time to time with steam for some users.
I haven't had it happen to myself for a long time though.

We had to temporarily switch back to Alpha 9.5.0 (B2294) due to problems with reading custom Config.ecf
> we will fix this problem and release Alpha 9.6 in a couple of hours again

There isn't going to be a change of engine any time soon.
