A few extra bugfixes today, most notably you should have the new 'faction chat' system available on worlds as well as in space.
TheUniversal 0.54.5
by: Mit on April 24th, 06:00pm
Hi TU'ers. A new client patch is available now, with a few new bits & pieces (most noticeably, lots of tidyups for the UI on worlds) and a few fixes for some particularly annoying bugs and exploits. Some work has also been done extending the modelling tools and formats, the results of which you'll see in the future.
Please let us know (via the forums) if you have any particular problems with this new version.
Galaxy fix, and new chat server
by: Fooli on February 14th, 06:39am
Rejoice! We've fixed the problem people have been having with the galaxy, whereby buying things caused them to lose all of their stuff. As a result, we've reverted the galaxy to Ocrober last year (again) - this time should be the last time. This change only affects your galaxy character (space ship, credits, cargo etc) and has no effect on your characters on worlds.
We've also sorted out the chat server. For instructions on how to connect to it, and for any problems related to the galaxy fix, please see this forum post...
Galaxy has reverted to 12th October
by: Fooli on November 17th, 06:34pm
We've just installed a backup of the galaxy from 12th October, as a sort of crappy fix for the lost items and cash people experienced shortly after that time. This only affects your galaxy character (space ship, credits, cargo etc) and has no effect on your progress on worlds. Any problems, please post on the forums...
Galaxy character problems?
by: Fooli on October 26th, 07:33am
If you've experienced any weirdness recently, such as losing cash and equipment while in space... we're aware of the problem, and we're looking into it. There isn't any point restoring your stuff until we know why it disappeared, so please bear with us while we investigate. Thanks for your patience (as ever)!
A wee version update, aye
by: Mit on September 13th, 07:31pm
Allo. A small client update is now available (0.54.4). Nothing magical, but a few worthwhile bugfixes as well as lots of work on new features that won't be apparent for a while yet. Related to this release, we have a new set of server technologies, allowing more worlds to be hosted with less effort. This will be reflected in the number of worlds running now - including, for example, a resurrection (and refresh) of the perennially enjoyable Biplaneworld, which you can now find in Cirrus Minor. Pop in sometime and have a blast.. (while wondering if the controls will ever get fixed )
Everything's back to normal (whatever that is)
by: Fooli on July 11th, 07:36am
If you've had trouble getting into the game recently there is now a simple solution. Open the game's /clients/data/space/planets folder.
Look for any .jpg in there created in the last week or so with a very small (about 1kb) filesize. Delete them. Restart the game, and all should be well. The game will automatically find and replace anything it needed from that folder.
The Mit, he has discovered the cause
by: Fooli on July 12th, 04:35am
We think we're on top of the recent problems people have had logging into the galaxy...
Mit has probably solved it and if you read this forum thread here you'll find out how and when and why and who and what and where and wombles and wormholes and a noticeably wristy action.
