v1.11.10 Patch

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

We have a small patch ready to help with some issues server owners found with EAH.
Please make sure to update both the Client & Dedicated server asap.
This update is for both Steam & Epic platforms.

[h2]Changelog: v1.11.10 B4545 2024-11-05[/h2]

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]
  • Fixed an exception that could occur when trying to join a dedicated server after exiting a single-player session.
  • Fix Epic players with names with spaces truncated
  • Fix PDA DevicePower PDA logic (Missing placement decals in RotDF scenario start SV in hangar)

This patch addresses an issue where some Epic players could not use EAH chat commands or access certain mod features.

Important note for mod developers: Previously, Epic player .ply IDs could occasionally exceed the Long data type's maximum range (9,223,372,036,854,775,807), requiring an Unsigned Long (18,446,744,073,709,551,615), referred to as “20 digits.” When a player had a 20-digit .ply file, EAH could not detect or process it, as EAH only supports Long IDs.

With this patch, Epic IDs will be recalculated to max. 19 digits at game startup (Client) or server startup (Server). This means that any 20-digit .ply files (and respective folders) will be automatically renamed to the new ID, retaining their content.

For server admins and mod developers: If your mod or server setup references specific 20-digit IDs (e.g., in adminconfig.yaml), you’ll need to update those entries with the new ID after the patch to ensure that players retain their existing bans, mutes, or permissions.

[h2]Changes:[/h2]
  • Added preparations for the games release to the EPIC game store on Thursdays Oct 10:
  • The game will be updated synchronously on both platforms

[h2]Steam & Epic Account linking:[/h2]
  • With the addition of our game on the Epic Store, we've introduced an in-game option in the server browser to link your Steam account to your Epic account for crossplay between Steam and Epic friends in Co-op/MP. Follow the pop-ups that appear when you open the server browser.
  • If you do not wish to use this Account Linking option, simply select "No" when prompted.
  • The “Link Account” button will appear from then on in your server browser should you change your mind in future.
  • Note for Epic players: If you have a PC stats overlay enabled (such as MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner), it may prevent the User Agreement GUI from loading when the client starts for the first time, causing a loading screen loop. This also affects the GUI for linking Steam and Epic accounts & the Epic in-game social UI (shift+F3) from loading. Epic Store players should disable any overlays and restart the game to agree to the User Agreement.

[h2]Crossplay:[/h2]
  • EPIC players will be able to join any steam dedicated server that is publicly visible
  • Crossplay is available between Steam and Epic versions for Co-op mode once Steam and Epic accounts are linked.
  • Epic players can invite their Steam friends to join their Co-op sessions, and Steam players can do the same with their Epic friends. Only players added to your friends list can see and join any Co-op games from the server browser's "Friends" tab. When a friend on either platform is hosting a Co-op session & you want to play together, check the server browser's "Friends" tab to find the Co-op server in the list.

[h2]Custom Content Sharing:[/h2]
  • Where is the “Workshop” content for other platforms ? We are exploring options for this topic for an alternative to the Steam workshop that will work cross platform between Steam & Epic for players to share any custom made content (Blueprints, Custom Scenarios etc like we already do on the Steam workshop). When this is up & running we will make an announcement to say when it is going to be released & available for everyone to use. We don’t have an ETA just yet to give for this but will update as soon as we are ready.
  • See here for a temporary workaround to be able to get workshop blueprints: https://empyriononline.com/threads/epic-store-release-and-custom-content.102562/
  • Epic players will be able to join servers with custom scenarios being used.
