READ FIRST: For a proper testing procedure and bug reporting, we recommend the following preparations and workflows: Go to your steam library and VERIFY your game files! Steam > Library > Right-click Empyrion in the list > Properties > Local Files > Verify Locale Data Make sure you are NOT using a custom config! There are currently multiple files that can be "modded". These are all found in: Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Configuration When running into an issue, it would be HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to check if you are using a customized version of any file in the configuration folder. If you are using a custom file: Please move the customzied file/s out of the folder (Rename, remove, move) Verify the game files via STEAM (this will restore the default files if you do not have them ready): Right click on Empyrion in your steam library & select properties Click on the local files tab & choose the 'Verify integrity of local game files' option Then recheck for the error with only stock files in the Configuration folder Avoid resuming any pre-Release Candidate savegame! There is a chance that changes we made do not translate to older savegames. Especially for bugs concerning terrain, loot and other playfield configs. Best practice: if you run into an issue with a savegame that was started BEFORE a RC has been released, please re-test the issue in a fresh new RC savegame again! Additional Routine: Delete the GAME CACHE when trying to reproduce a bug! The game cache saves some presets and may be source of a false positive reports or even be part of the problem. To make sure we have all the infos, please check the following folder when trying to reproduce a but and make a note in your report if the bug still happens AFTER clearing the cache: ..\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Cache ---- 'Continue or Quit' (CoQ) Error When you get a 'CoQ' (Continue or Quit) error in SINGLEPLAYER, please do the following: Note the build number in the top right (the last 4 digits) then exit the game (click QUIT or ALT+F4) Right click on Empyrion in your steam library > Properties > Local files > Browse local files > Logs Look for the folder name that matches the build number from step 1 or look for the folder named by the highest number and open it Right click on the client log from when this happened & place your mouse cursor over 'Send to' create a compressed copy of it Open your Email, attach the compressed copy of the log & write what happened BEFORE the CoQ and send to: [email protected] The QA team will pick up your issue and decode or ask back more info. 2) IF YOU RAN A COOP SERVER need to: - send in the Client.logs for all players that were affected - send in the COOP server and COOP-client logs The COOP Client logs are in the SAME folder on the PC which started the session. Look for a) logs that start with 'Client_AsPf_' b) log that starts with 'Dedicated_' Send in both COOP Client and Server logs to the same Email address 3) IF you are running a DEDICATED SERVER, go the the /LOGS folder, zip the whole thing (in case you do not know what are the latest files) + ADD an info on which playfield and WHEN (time stamp) the issue happened...and send it to the same Email address as well. ----- GLOBAL ADVICE ON REPORTING!! 1. If you haven an issue with a Base or Vessel with temperature, radiation, colliders, can-not-dock, o2 or plants not growing or anything that happens without anything else in the game world is directly affected, please ADD THE BLUEPRINT or the SAVEGAME and add an info if SP or MP! If you want to add your savegame, please upload your savegame to a cloud host (like dropbox, google,..) and add a LINK to your report 2. If you having issues with something missing from your planet, spawned in the wrong place or anything that keeps being broken after resuming a savegame PLEASE UPLOAD the savegame to a cloud host (like dropbox, google etc) and add a LINK in your bug report 3. If you CRASHED with a message "Continue or Quit" on a SP or MP game, PLEASE FOLLOW 'Continue or Quit' instructions as written above 4. If you CRASHED back to desktop (empyion.exe does not work anymore) do the same as in (3.). 5. If you game FREEZES (locked up), please make a note that this is a FREEZE (not a "Crash"). Add the same files as in 3. and maybe add a dxdiag as well. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
