Yes it should be working. Do feel free to post more info and settings and we might be able to help diagnose the problem or bug

A really good question.

Generally speaking the major disk loading occurs during game boot.

Because Stationeers doesn’t use a lot of textures, there also is not a need to load and unload textures.

The exception to this is file loading and saving for worlds, and given world saves can be quite large they could cause issues during auto saving in slower disks.

Having said that the game itself loads all its resources into RAM and doesn’t do further loading during game execution

Note that the dedicated server has changed a lot, but has a great deal more functionality. Old guides won’t be relevant tho, but it has instructions when it boots up

The update was deployed not long after I posted. If you go to the game Hub, you should see the announcement. The dedicated server is deployed for both Linux and windows.

We are deploying the dedicated servers update shortly, a news post will be released when this happens.

The old voice did not have all the files necessary, as a significant number of words had been introduced.

We will be producing different voice packs although initially this will be focused on different languages.

The voice used will depend on availability. If we have to make substantial changes in the future, and the voice actor is not available, then we have to rerecord all of the words. Otherwise it is too jarring to have some of the words in one voice, and others not.

Even if you could access the old voice, ~40% of the voice files would have to be the new voice as there was no recording for it in the old voice.

We are working on fixing these. The Tutorials are currently temporarily disabled while we work on them.

Note, I deleted the post above and have included the censored version. Please read the steam community guidelines. It's fine to have concerns, or raise them. But be respectful of those on the forums, including developers.

MP is working in the beta, and had been progressively working more and more from the date we launched the refactor beta.

AotR offered a proof of concept of the refactor, as we had a real example that we could test. Additionally, it had a code base with more than a passing resemblance to Stationeers, meaning we were able to port the work across.

AotR has not been released because it doesn't need to be released in advance, it has a small group of people involved in testing so it is able to get feedback without taking the risk of people being disheartened by bugs etc... Just because it isn't released yet does not mean it doesn't allow drawing worthwhile conclusions about systems and new approaches.

Using that project we were able to assess the numbers to do with bandwidth, rendering, connection, logging, dedicated server etc... Of these, all of them have been successfully ported across except some of the more complex batch rendering approaches from AotR.

The beta branch multiplayer is very functional, every day we are spending the morning playtesting ourselves. It's already dramatically better than what is on the main branch. The server browser is not functional yet, but close. So you can only play on the beta branch if you know the IP address of the computer hosting.

Hopefully some can share their experience. From the "sentry" crash reporting information, well over 70% of users are running the beta branch currently.

Hotfix is now live that might address this issue. Please let me know how you get on.

We are deploying a hotfix that addresses 5 serious crash issues shortly, will post more soon. Sorry for the inconvenience I know crashes are really frustrating.

Should be revived now Columbo, let me know if your character is okay now

Originally posted by dullah: Ugh... didn't notice the short timer on a prospect. Went to bed. Woke up on Christmas to find that I now have to start from scratch. Merry Christmas Rocket Werkz.

As you were very close to the timer, I have revived your character who was abandoned. When you login, they should be okay.
