Ysk the Linux client is a little unstable right now. I'm probably going to wait for the next update (presumably when it properly goes live on Steam) before trying again.

I'm trying my hand a bit at modding this game.
So far I've been unable to find new hulls and such that I've added.

Aww.. I was hoping to put a little time in this weekend. You crashing a lot Huw?

I crash into asteroids all the time. :D

It's weird...the client won't load properly if I click the icon, which makes no sense to me because the icon's command is literally just the path to the executable. However if I open a console and launch the executable from there it's usually fine. However this past couple of days even from the console I have to try several times for it to work, and sometimes it fails altogether.

I'll send some logs to the devs, see what they think.

My wife has accidentally switched off the PC, killing the server. I hope nobody was online while it happened.
It'll be online again ASAP. :)

Ooh, I'd say that's a week of washing the dishes at least!

Totally. Ysk will need to apologize to his wife for not telling her that his PC was running and hosting a game, and he'll have to do dishes for a week to atone for that mistake!

^-^

LOL.

Yeah that sounds like SOP. ;D

Lol! Yeah that's how it went down. :D

EDIT: Server is up!

Moved the server today. So it was offline for 2 hrs or so. Its back up again! O0

I played some single-player for the first time last night. Not sure what to think yet because the controls will take some getting used to. ???

Did you try the other method, Nef? You can change it in the menu or in the hangar screen (where you fit your ship).

I saw it but flying directly at where you're aiming would make for lots of collisions. Didn't seem viable to me.

I can get the controls down with some practice. They just start off rather sluggish. I suppose it gets better if you put some skill points into it.

Huw the Poo · January 26, 2015, 07:02:17 PM

Yeah - strafing, especially, is very slow to begin with but can be improved by investing some points into it.

I don't know if you guys noticed but you can get a Steam key from the website now. The Steam release is very close - they've stopped updating until it goes live. Apparently the last two patches have significantly improved performance so I have high hopes that it will finally be 100% stable on Linux. As soon as it hits Steam I'll be diving back in. :)
