    Anyone else got a hit in performance in this patch? =/
    I had significant FPS hits inside the ship.Beaming down seemed to help,but it's still laggy.
    Not unplayable like 3-5 FPS, but it's "irritating".

    Tried loading one of my old characters,had no problems inside the ship but beaming down to a planet (both of them were jungle BTW),and I can feel the framrate dropping again.

    Try playing on a random server, see if performance improves there, it usually does.

    What I mean is, what you are complaining about is unavoidable. There is no need to complain... this is just normal beta testing activity. You obviously have not tested in a beta before because what you are doing is just stupid. If you don't like it, you can leave or wait it out. For the last time, IT'S A BETA TEST... DEAL WITH IT.

    What you are doing is ignorant and short-sighted. I've been in plenty beta tests btw.

    I'm done, you have your opinion and I have mine, and that won't change.

    With a holiday coming up I am sure there could be a week before another patch seeing as well people may want to be with family rather then working. Everyone should think about that when posting about patches and fixes.

    It's not really opinionated... it's just that complaining about something that they are fixing while we are typing these arguments is useless and stupid. if you have an issue with the game, report it to the devs so they can fix it.

    Maybe I don't have the patience for the beta test and maybe that's why I installed the game at such an early stage, but seeing updates full of new content rather than fixes is kinda worrying - there are people who are still unable to play the game at all or for longer than a few minutes, and maybe half the community has performance issues. That said it's been nice to have a taste of the game, and it will be the one when it's ready, oh yes.

    Darn. Looks like Im putting my dulcimer down for awhile; Instruments now crash the game :/ Im sure it was mentioned on page 1, however; Im gonna miss that music. Maybe for like 3 seconds while Bartwe puts out a fix :) Happy Holidays to you all. :)

    Hey guys, I figured out how to fix the music problem, go to your steamapps/common/starbound and open a file called songbook.config and look for the names saying
    '"B" : "D",
    "E" : "G",
    Delete thouse and it works ^^
    BartWerf tweeted it, awesome dude thx ^^

    Please give us key remapping soon. If in no other form than adding them to the starbound.config file to be edited.

    This is getting to be a frustrating thing. I realize that people who are used to the conventional WASD want to just handwave and dismiss this concern. Because they only give a crap about what matters to them.

    Programs to remap keys are a less then ideal solution. When you want to type something in the crafting search menu, it's a convoluted mess because your keyboard is remapped. Also autohotkey is not perfect. Keys stick. It misses keys on occasion, causing the original key to go through unmodded.

    IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TRYING TO RUN AROUND AND FIGHT WHEN MOVEMENT KEYS STICK OR MENUS OPEN YOU DID NOT INTEND.

    I'm fed up with being dismissed on this be people who are used to the normal convention and want to just handwave this and present facile, crappy solutions and act like that is good enough.

    Keymapping is a STANDARD feature of gaming now. And the simple fact is this would be an EASY thing to add via editing the starbound.config file. So for it to still not exist is really lazy and dismissive of a good size portion of the playerbase.

    I am extremely fed up with people dismissing our opinions or telling us what should or shouldn't be priorities, based on their own biases or experiences. I'm sick of being handwaved and dismissed over something that would be ABSOLUTELY EASY, even TRIVIAL to add to the game. When there are so many of us who really NEED this solution to ENJOY THE GAME PROPERLY.

    Please give us key remapping. We don't need to wait for the in game menus to do it. Just add them to a config file. There are so many damn games where this is the ONLY way to assign keys. We'll be content with that. Just give us at least that.

    The rest of you also need to stop telling us that it's not important just because you are used to the conventional standards. It's a damned easy thing to add, and it affects many people, and the "solutions" are not really solutions. They are bandaid fixes and lacking in many ways.

    This *should* be a higher priority. BECAUSE IT'S DAMNED TRIVIAL TO FIX.

    Keymapping is a wanted feature really.. basically (almost) all left handed people would want keymapping, plus the people that aren't used to WASD.

    here's what you need to do: code it yourself, and send it to the devs. If you can't do that, then half of your paragraph is completely irrelevent. its a beta, so obviously it's going to be dismissed. It's in stage 1, where we are INTENDED TO FIX CORE GAMEPLAY FIRST. hardware issues are literally the last on the list, again. and you keep saying you're 'tired' of seeing that, when it's probably an answer you hate seeing because IT IS THE TRUTH.
    obviously the keybinding isn't final, it's a placeholder for something bigger. do you really not understand a single concept of a beta (actuallly, ALPHA)?
