    But....but... when will you fix that thing?

    At the risk of inciting shit, what's wrong with the Erchius Horror?

    Has the Erchius Mining Facility crash on OSX been fixed?[DOUBLEPOST=1422895266][/DOUBLEPOST]
    The crash when you die during the mission.

    I have yet to complete the mission, but the game crashes shortly after the respawn animation, right about when it tries to put you back in the ship. I ended up reinstalling the game to see if that fixed anything and it did not.

    A few days ago I saw a forum post suggesting that it crashes when you complete the mission as well, depriving you of the quest reward but insisting that the mission is complete. This suggests that the issue might be the transition from the dungeon back to the ship. The question now is whether the crash is isolated to OSX and/or Linux, or whether it happens on Windows as well.

    Thanks for the patch notes and the various fixes. Servers are much more stable now, and the increased container size is a very welcomed change!

    I have never had the game crash in the Erchius mine mission. And I died a few times, and have re-beaten it a few as well.

    Keep up the good work!, I came back to Starbound after an extended lapse (Working on my game backlog) and definitely like the new update. I loved the original game mechanics but this is much more refined.

    Before when I originally bought Starbound I was just hopping for it to be just a Terraria clone but in space and I am really glad its not, the game now has more than enough personality, gameplay and style of its own to be able to be side by side with Terraria as a great game in its own right. Looking forward to the eventual 1.0 update. (Take you time Devs there is no rushing a good thing)

    Just to be clear, this is already on the stable branch, right?

    You'll have to be more specific. What do you mean by "This?"

    still have to fix the weapons switching in shops everytime u click on them, shields blocking hazardous blocks doesn't make sense (its a cheat way to get through platforming areas), and guard npc's think that the bug net is a weapon!!!
    Also I'm not sure If this is something that needs fixing, but when I landed on a planet I was standing right next to (touching/overlapping) a sub-boss/largemonster, (this was the first time the planet had been visited). I actually managed to kill it with my mediocre weapons after an intense fight and it was a lot of fun, but then again If I had died to it, which almost happened, I would have been stuck with him camping my warp location. Possibly prevent this from happening on low level planets, but on more dangerous planets I would be fine with getting jump-scared in this manner.

    awesome job, the missions are great and super co-opable, only had game crash a few times in multiplayer using hamachi but nothing serious

    one thing that bugs me tho.. antidotes hang low and they drag on the floor needs to be in hand but they work correctly tho


    awesome work TEAM CHUCKLEFISH

    Indeed. The stable branch was updated a few days ago.

    I just died during Erchius and this time it didn't crash. I think it may be fixed. Going to try beating it now and see if fighting the boss has any effect.

    (EDIT) No crash when fighting the boss this time. Got killed once by mistiming a jump, and the second time by getting outrun by a laser during Stage 2.

    Did, however, lose a bunch of stuff by putting items in Outpost Storage. (Don't put anything in Outpost storage, it will all disappear once you leave the Outpost.)

    I didn't saw them in the patchlog so I mention them here:
    - The characters sleep in full armor now, which I find very strange, the old version was better
    - The monster voices are horrible, what am I playing, pac man? :) the old ones were better (they are not sounding as a monster anymore)
    - The warning sound for suffocation disappeared, I just died as I was building underwater
    - The battle music disappeared, what I am happy about
    - The red crosses disappeared (at sleep or healing)
    - You can't close the containers anymore with the button "E"

    This post wasn't about whining, I love this game and played with it for over 700 hours. Thank you for the hard work!

    Playing Starbound for the first time since the last stable. Just built replicator, having lots of fun so far.

    There are few things that drives me insane though:
    1. When I open containers with "e" I expect to close it with "e" too. And it works but only if I move mouse cursor to other container. If I don't do that I have to close it with "esc" or mouse click. I'm not sure if that was an issue in last stable but it's super annoying.
    2. When I open 3D Printer window and then inventory window it overlaps each other EVERY TIME. Would be nice if inventory window opening position were snapped to left or right side of the 3D Printer window. Or save and then restore last window position when it's opens. Oh. And by the way. Do you know that you can open 3D Printer window and walk away from it? You can even beam down to planet and still be able to use it. And S.A.I.L. window too! You can change tech on the fly whenever you want!
    3. It would be really nice to use arrow keys to move selection in craft window and 3D Printer window. 3D Printer don't show item price until you select it. And you have to click every single one of them or it'll just show you "NEW" instead of it's price.
    4. Survival Gear Backpack vanity item is not wearable (and stacks). I don't know why it bothers me so much.

    At first I was upset about "yet another wipe" but almost immediately got sucked into all the new things so I don't even care about it anymore. The only thing I kinda miss from my old character is all the 3D Printer schematics. I tried so hard to collect as much as I can!

    New firearms is awesome. In last stable I always used melee weapons because ranged was literally useless. Now I'm all ranged.
    New matter manipulator is super overpowered but I'm ok with it.
    I don't know if bubble tech is still in game but now, when it's not laying on almost every planed, I actually have to use all the other jumping enhancements and it feels nice. Ropes and grappling hook are finally useful too. Yay!
    Erichius Horror is fun boss. I hope there are more like it in later stages of the game. It's probably too hard if you trying to beat it alone (especially it's second stage. it just too fast). But then I replayed it again with my friend and we beat it in no time. Dreadwing were much easier then Erichius Horror. And it's kinda funny because in the last stable Dreadwing was hardest and every other were much easier.

    Thanks Chucklefish!

    Well, and the giant laser beams it spits out at you. Those're a bit of a concern.

    Any luck with the ACCESS VIOLATION problem? Although we can still bypass it by unpacking the assets, it's pretty bothersome to have to unpack it after every update...

    Stability hype!

    Can't wait till servers have a bit more consistency when under pretty much any load.
    but hey, it's not done, crashing happens!
