Well, we found the source of the server crashes. Unfortunitly, older ships were in compatible when I upgraded the server to fix the lag. I'm purging again, but hopefully, assuming I get this correct, this should be the last purge we'll need to do, at least for quite a while. I'm also doing some much needed game cleanup, purging of un used starsystems, etc. If you still have your ship file, it is possible to restore it. Simpply go into where you installed the game, and find the ships directory. Find your ship file in their, and upload it someware. Provided you send me the link, I can then restore it back to the server. I'll also be restoring player credits like last time, so hopefully, this should go with out a hitch. I'm very sorry we had to purge again, but multi threading apparently breaks a lot of older things.

Hi
I agree this is my favorite game

Hi all, dmnb may be down for the rest of today and tomorrow while we try to figure out what is causing these random server crashes. I have a huntch on what is causing them however.

danny. I have a question. every time we log out from the surver while the ship is moving, is this a bug or changes? actually what I meant is, when we log out after we've set everything like flight coure. then, set our speed, after that we log out then back in, the ship does stop where we are. so is this a changes or a bug... hope you understand what my question actually is for what lol. sorry my gramatic mistakes.

ok. i'll give me an example. ok. let say I set my course to 4000 4000 4000 and now i'm at inndirion station. what happen is when we log out and back in, the ship didn't stop at that course, it still at indirion station.

ok

Hi all! I'm happy to say that while not entirely gone, we've been slowly working out and fixing the various crashes that have been playging the dmnb server since mr lag monsters death, hopefully, we can get this sorted. At least, we've got it to where it doesn't restore everything back to where it was pre crash, and ships stay where they were and players do when the server comes back. I should be able to return to normal feature development soon. To answer a few questions in case anyone has any, yes, the lag is gone, server side. Yes, the game is playable. For the most part, it is stable, but it is known to randomly lock up and not tell you so, i'm trying to work on at least having it do that instead of just dieing silently.

On sensors, when your in deep space, select probe for planets. You can fly to it and name it afterwords.

Hi guys.
Due to recent changes in the server you may have noticed the server crashing a lot more often than normal.
We at reality software would like to apologize for all the credits, and frustration it has caused you as players.
Due to this, our testing team has gathered and have decided, we will unfortunately have to pull the game offline for extensive testing.
We suspect it may take up to a week or possibly even more.
You will be notified when the server is ready for you all  to join.
Again, we apologize for all the losses you as players have suffered as a result of this crash in advance.

Greetings all, dmnb is back! The server seems a lot more stable, however it is still prone, at least, from what i've discovered, to the odd crash or 2 here and their, but it stayed up for a good 6 or so hours, then again that could just be my connection. Either way, we invite you all to come on, and enjoy a lag free dm! Their is a new starship class on the market which is still being developed, the firestar planet cracker, which is the ultimit in deep space mining vessels.

Greetings! Per the request of slj, their is now a /away feature in chat, simpply type /away and your message. Note though that any action in game will cause you to return. Also, i've fixt the exploit which allowed you to become a billionair by surveying the same planet over and over again.

Hi all, i'm happy to say that with a few notable hickups, the crashes at dmnb are fixt, and their's still no server side lag! With that, we invite you to come and enjoy lag free dmnb. I'll be putting back in the transport rescue mission soon.
