I cant let the reporting tool finish because it just sticks at the "unhandled exception" dialogue box.  I have to end task.  Will it still produce a log?  

An increasing number of DU players are reporting that they can't play anymore due to an issue causing DU to crash during loading on a Shadow PC.
 
The game will crash at the exact same point every time, for most it seems to be around the 70% mark but I have seen reports of different numbers.
 
If you encounter this issue, please do log a ticket with  Novaquark and provide the logs found in %localappdata%/NQ/DualUniverse
Make sure you let the reporting tool finish after the crash and do fill out details there, such as to what percentage you load in Zip the folders "CrashDumps", "crashes" and "log" (as applicable/available) and attach to the ticket you open with Novaquark. hit [WINDOWS] R and type "dxdiag" .. save the logfile created in the tool and add to the ticket  
Also log a support ticket with Shadow , the CrashDump file(s) and dxdiag logs may be of use to them, the logfiles for DU obviously not.
 
As we're seeing quite a few reports of players having this issue and many depend on a Shadow PC to play, it would be nice if @NQ-Naerais or @NQ-Deckard could provide somewhat regular updates on this issue here.
 
 

I can not even craft a simple screw right now - YEAH  !!
 
I'm thinking of the time on Sanctuary when I've build my first dynamic MCore for the Moon-Mining-exploration - LOL -> any new Player needs to farm rocks for 2 Months before even thinking about an MCore excitement
 
¿ did anyone think about new Players when implementing the, lets call it, BIGORG:HAPPY-Patch ?
 
the pricing for that Schematic Shit is INSANE !
eg. MCore = 36000000
 
 
the game was supercool - I really loved it 
I'm totally pissed now

The industry changes are too severe.
I'm not really enjoying the fact that i cant produce ANYTHING without investing millions to get my product lines up and running again.
I was in the progress of building a small production facility with only T1 ores, pures, components and finished products.
I'm not rich, with the login bonus for today, i've got 400.000.
In order to get my factory up and running now, i'll need millions upon millions. Only way to get that, is to spend god knows how many hours mining for the market instead of mining for my own production.
I dont really consider that fun or interesting gameplay.
 
So... i'm just gonna hope this gets heavily rebalanced soon or i'm gonna write off this game and move on
Damn shame, because i've just spent the last month getting to know the basics of the game and was actually starting to enjoy it.

You're well on the path of going the way of Worlds Adrift.
 
You want to nerf industry because everyone is building their own 'Iphone' - fine - what are they going to do instead? What else is there to do instead? 
 
You want to add element destruction? Great - I'm with you. It needs to happen. But maybe just maybe pairing it with the removal of the Alt-F4 mechanic, removal of Discord support and on top of that nerfing production isn't the best idea? 
 
You think mining is too easy? Grea.....wait what....what? WHAT?! Have you mined in DU? How much? Look, ask anyone who has filled a 10L hub every two nights, there is nothing 'easy' about mining. It's boring. It's tedious. It's concentrated drudgery and one of the primary reasons I don't play DU anymore - but what it is not is 'easy' and never even in my most drunken state (and I admit I sure didn't mine sober) did I think that "Hey maybe if I couldn't link to my 10L hub mining would be better!" . In fact, when linking was broken, I just didn't play the game. 
 
Just the fact that JC thinks that linking is the issue with mining - not literally everything else - makes me lose all faith in his judgment. Of all the things wrong with mining - linking isn't  one of them. Nor is the lack  of "mining hazards"...
 
The community has over and over and over asked for constructs that can mine - empyrion style - give us drills we can put on hovers - give even bigger giant drills we can put on stationary constructs. Give us anything besides handmining because 'easy' it's not - it's at least 7th level of hell grade tedium - and 9th if you have to deal with phantom nodes and pending operations. Unless of course you take my approach, get drunk and watch netflix so that the next day you forget about how hellish mining for 6 hours straight was.
 
Unfortunately I've remembered enough of those nights over time to stop logging in to DU...and the upcoming changes and theroycrafting about the future of mining have made it extremely clear that JC does not play DU either...he may goof around in his castle - but he sure hasn't built a mega factory nor has he mined the ore to get the resources to build his giant fortress if he thinks all those things are too easy...
 
Seriously - JC just logs in - looks at all the stuff others built and his take away is that mining and mega factories are too easy? It took us weeks of drudgery......I can't even...
 
Edit: Also - cores not repairable?! Masterstroke....

Time will tell but you might be onto something. If they remove industry. What is going to replace gamplay loop for me. Flying to and even more overcrowded market and have 5 to 10 computer crashes?

There are many aspects of this game I'm unhappy about not just the update, I am a solo player! I like been a solo player! I just feel like they want you to team up with other but I've had alot of bad experience with others! I prefer to play alone or with 1 or 2 of my friends that's it! It really feels like the Devs are alienating solo to small player groups and for me that's not ok!.
 
Other issues are things are constantly broke in the game and don't get fixed and them taking 2 months to reply to a issue is ridiculous. I know you get the people that say "what do you expect with beta bla bla bla" but what I do expect it to be able to play the game how I want to play! Not how they want me to play! It's meant to be a sandbox style game but it's becoming more directed. Not to mention all the things that are just plain broken! I've had enough of just hoping things get fixed but don't yet there more focused on other things like bringing salvage missions out which is good idea but fix the rest of the game first before adding more problems along with this new update.
 
Im not going to be a part of this anymore! I play this game to chill out and relax but more and more I play I become frustrated and annoyed! 
I can't play this no more it's too frustrating!

I dont know, but I guess you are upset with the update, but not continueing your account would have a larger (silent) impact
Give it a few days and then talk about cancelling, your account is running until januari at least I think...
 
I am a solo player and I cant use my own machines, but NANOCRAFTING STILL WORKS!!
I will see if the game still fits my desires, at the moment, I too am far from satisfied  with the current update.
 
 

You did nothing to fix the all too frequent disconnects. (Plus now there's the bonus possibility that my ship may impact something before I can log back in) 
 
You did nothing to address the server lag and "Pending Operation" errors. (So I'll likely be getting stuck 800m down, unable to continue mining. As has been the case lately) 
 
You did nothing to address the fact that the planets and moons have been stripped of higher tier ore. (There's nothing more disheartening than arriving on a new planet, only to find those huge holes going straight down) 
 
What you did is make it so I can no longer use my warp cell factory. Which I use to enable safe travel to my bases, which allow me to mine the T2 and T3 ores. 
 
You also made it so I can't use my cockpit controller factory to make cash to buy the ridiculously overpriced T4 and T5 ores. 
 
I just finished setting up bases on Symeon and Teoma to supply Chromite and Natron. But those bases are now relatively inaccessible without the ability to make warp cells. 
 
My goal entering this game was to create a small company that specializes in higher end ships with custom voxel design. But with this change in industry that path is no longer tenable. 
 
There is basically nothing left for me to do except grind out tens of millions of credits via low tier ore mining... 
 
Nope. ? 

I still feel some of the changes are too  soon.
 
The removal of Fetch will be causing more tickets
 
The industry changes, as I have said before, by themselves are good but I feel schematics are too expensive and could have been brought in at half their price which would have been better IMO.
 
The patch it self, sorry NQ but this is a terrible sloppy rush job. Very obvious unfinished text, variables that have no value so are showing. No creative thinking on how a schematic collection with limited numbers is implemented, not properly lined up buttons and there's more..
 
The skills gating the industry elements is something I feel is a good balance option to allow players to get a somewhat even start. Yes, big orgs will have industry set up but only T1 and they will need to train into using higher tiers and then build them. Smaller orgs can start collecting ore while these skills train and make enough to get the elements and schematics they may need.. It's not perfect but fair enough and it did somewhat "mellow" my opinion on this.
 
The autoconfig being broken is a big issue and needs to get fixed quickly
 
Converting all blueprints to core blueprints in player inventories is a massive mistake and oversight.  You just gave everyone who bought a construct from a player a core blueprint of that construct and they can now copy and change it as they see fit.. very bad and this alone should have been addressed immediately with  a rollback of the servers after a fix. The creators in the game deserve a better response by you.
 
Why was it decided cores can't be restored? that is such a bad choice to make IMO and I see no reason why this should be a thing.
 
I would have preferred a wipe and expected to see a talent point reset to allow players to rethink their specialization. Some may decide to move away from industry and now have many points in that area. You should really at least refund any industry points or do an overall refund and allow players to respec.
 
 
I still have doubts and question on the choices made but am willing to give the patch a try but please.. get to work on fixing the many sloppy left overs and oversights in the next week or so and certainly close the blueprint loophole asap. IMO the latter should already have happend but should be done by tomorrow at the latest.
 
Please, NQPlease, do not be you and let this patch go into Xmas break like this.. show us you are committed to make this work and fix the most obvious and glaring issues in the patch..
