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, because everything is messed up.

Please send your logs with a description of your issue after it happens to the support email here

• 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 library > Properties > Local files > Browse local files > Logs
  then make a copy of the folder which is named by the build number f.ex 2763 (which is the current public build as of typing this) & compress it.
  Then look for the crashes folder from any of these locations & also create a copy of t...

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.https://steamcommunity.com/games/383120/announcements/detail/1633027651915312436

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:
Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Scenarios\Default Multiplayer

This is from the cockpit of an HV.

Form the outside it looks like this:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1703890048

I exited the game and came back, and its still there. There is significant damage to the cockpit, but Ive had that before without the pink.

I am planning to replace the cockpit, so I can see if that will help.

I do want to say, that I own over 100 Steam games and Empyrion is one of the most bug-free of the bunch. (Bethesda, cough, cough).

Thanks I could reproduce the issue & the team is aware. Read more

Perhaps a solution for you can be found in one of these posts

I haven't had it happen to myself for a long time though. Read more

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

For any docking issues a save game with the vessels that have the issue will be needed in a bug report here:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/bug-reports-alpha-7-5.34598/

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

Afaik you cannot add signal logic to a group. Signal logic needs to be added to each device in any group or anything ungrouped individually.What you can do for groups though to switch anything on & off that is in a group by only using the control panel is create a switch in the Main tab of the control panel in the Custom column which is 1 to the right of the General column.Name a switch under 'Custom' & then go to the group in the device list & click on the group to highlight it then a drop down option will be available.
Click on the drop down & select the Custom switch you just named & go back to the main tab of the control panel & now use the switch you just created.This works for myself. Hope it helps. Read more
