Was all ready to pull the trigger but it’s an automatic resub that you can’t opt out of and you can only cancel by going through xsolla’s customer support. So no thanks on that.
I hate forced auto resubs.
Thursday morning was bad but after that it has been ok. All in all I think it was a successful launch considering the single server technology. What was funny was all these streamers who attempted to stream a very hardcore game without any previous knowledge of it. If you know what you are doing you can get to space day one in your own crafted ship. If it is your first day, not likely.
Me and my wife have played about a year and a half. We got our bases up, got the basic crafting set up and will get to space today, and that is not bad for casuals doing everything ourselves.
DU is a game intended to be played slowly, most common newbie mistake these last 2 days is people who immediately wants to get to space and builds something with lots of containers and stuff (that never will fly) tries to get to space crashes and rage quits.
So I found a couple of tutorials if anyone wants to check them out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf4y7PPJePAa2t4SjC8z9fQ
One is a basic controls tutorials which is 29 minutes long and the other is a best mining method at at 8 minutes. with the NDA just dropped not a lot of stuff out yet.
So no stream after all or just running a bit late?
Hi Silver. If chat wasn’t visible here, DU was having technical difficulties. We finally got in, but it was pretty rough the whole time. Will keep trying on new days!
I was able to catch the stream a little later.
Can confirm. Game’s not ready for playing.
Got disconnected in a “vr” mining tutorial and I’m now floating around in space with the game telling me that respawning will have me lose my stuff.
Add plenty of disconnections and crashes to that on top of a very poor framerate and some input lag.
