Changelog: v1.11.9 B4541 2024-10-14

Fixes:
- Fix: Exception when quickly restarting refreshing in server browser (Issue was only with the Epic version)

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

We are aware of issues with launching the game for the first time due to the Epic "User Agreement" UI, which requires you to select "Accept." PC stats overlays like MSI Afterburner (RivaTuner) or Nvidia Crossplay can prevent this UI from loading.

Please disable any PC stats overlays and try launching the game again. These overlays can also block the Epic in-game social overlays, so disable them before launching if you wish to use those features.

Changelog: v1.11.9 B4540 2024-10-10

Fixes:
- Fixed an exception in the server browser
- Fixed Hourly re-authentication for Epic clients
- Fixed: Official Eleon servers not displayed as such in Epic clients

Changelog: v1.11.9 B4536 2024-10-08

Changes:
- Added preparations for the games release to the Epic game store on Thursdays Oct 10:
- The game will be updated synchronously on both platforms

Steam & Epic Account linking:
• With the addition of our game on the Epic Store, we've introduced an in-game option in the server browser to link your Steam account to your Epic account for crossplay between Steam and Epic friends in Co-op/MP. Follow the pop-ups that appear when you open the server browser.
• If you do not wish to use this Account Linking option, simply select "No" when prompted.
• The “Link Account” button will appear from then on in your server browser should you change your mind in future.
• Note for Epic players: If you have a PC stats overlay enabled (such as MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner), it may prevent the User Agreement GUI from loading when the client starts for the first time, causing a loading screen loop. This also affects the GUI for linking Steam and Epic accounts & the Epic in-game social UI (shift+F3) from loading. Epic Store players should disable any overlays and restart the game to agree to the User Agreement.

Crossplay:
• Epic players will be able to join any steam dedicated server that is publicly visible
• Crossplay is available between Steam and Epic versions for Co-op mode once Steam and Epic accounts are linked.
• Epic players can invite their Steam friends to join their Co-op sessions, and Steam players can do the same with their Epic friends. Only players added to your friends list can see and join any Co-op games from the server browser's "Friends" tab. When a friend on either platform is hosting a Co-op session & you want to play together, check the server browser's "Friends" tab to find the Co-op server in the list.

Custom Content Sharing:
• Where is the “Workshop” content for other platforms ? We are exploring options for this topic for an alternative to the Steam workshop that will work cross platform between Steam & Epic for players to share any custom made content (Blueprints, Custom Scenarios etc like we already do on the Steam workshop). When this is up & running we will make an announcement to say when it is going to be released &...

When: from 10th of October 2024

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

This is a small guide that aims to provide steps on how to install blueprints and custom scenarios in Empyrion while using the Epic Store.

Blueprints can be download from our Official Discord (https://discord.gg/empyrion)
We have several channels where players can attach blueprints
If a particular blueprint you want isnt on our discord you can ping the creator on the channel and ask if he can create a post in one of the channels!

Custom Scenarios are too large to be shared on Discord.
You can ask the scenario creator to upload it to https://www.nexusmods.com/empyriongalacticsurvival/ and download it from there!

Where to place them?
Right click in the library in the Epic Store on Empyrion. Select Manage
After the following screen open:

Press the red outlined button. This will open where Empyrion is installed.
../Content/Scenarios/ is where you place custom scenarios
../Saves/Blueprints/<ID>/ is where you place the blueprint files

For the game to read them, the game needs to be rebooted

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we want to thank you very much for your feedback that reached us during the Experimental Phase of Update 1.11.8 through our various feedback channels.

As you may have already experienced in the testing phase or at least seen in the blogs, in addition to numerous bug fixes and the completion of the Dark Faction Scenario Story Campaign, the new "Freeze & Board" gameplay for the Dark Faction DLC expansion is another central focus of this update.

In brief: The Dark Faction has gained the ability to disable your capital and small vessels as well as hover vessels. If you are in a disabled capital vessel, a boarding crew will be teleported over to you. If you don't take them out, they can cause some serious damage to the interior of your ship!

How exactly this works is explained in the following video:

You can also find all the details in the corresponding feedback thread here:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/...on-dlc-disruptor-translocator-turrets.102503/

With the current update, you also get the revamped and expanded Dark Faction Story Campaign - fully playable in both solo and co-op modes, including two possible story endings!

In addition to this, the current update includes, among other things, a small hitpoint balancing, a new Pentaxid Tank model, and over 470 new and updated icons in the areas of Building Blocks, Wings, Windows, Railings, Farming, Plants, Ingots, Components, Medical, Food, Cooking, Trading & more.

As always, all the contents of the update can be found in detail below in the comprehensive changelog.

The Disruptor turret will aim at CV, SV, HV vessels.

2. The UI immobilization bar will grow indicating the level of mobility. When full the targeted vehicle will be totally immobile.
