    Beta 1 Release Notes. Last updated on September 8th

    in Beta Updates & Announcements

    Posted

    Hi Noveans, 

     

    After today's maintenance, we've reintroduced the shipwrecks: 


    Explore and salvage ships throughout Dual Universe!

     

    Buried into the ground on various planets, more than 100 shipwrecks are scattered all across the Helios system. How to find them? Well, it's up to you and your org since these don't show up on the radar. If you stumble upon them, you'll be able to loot them. What are you waiting for? The search has begun!

     

    Wrecks rules

    • The buried salvageable shipwrecks constructs don't appear on the radar or the minimap
    • Every player has a salvaging budget/capacity per salvageable shipwreck, limiting how much stuff he/she can pick of a single wreck or ruin (400 liters by default)
    • This capacity is displayed when raycasting the salvageable construct in (salvaging) Build Mode
    • The exception: the first pick of an ELEMENT has NO restriction (for instance pick a single Engine XL). So choose wisely!
    • Wrecks have a salvaging zone around them that disables territory digging restrictions
    • The salvaging zone is removed once the shipwreck is totally looted (meaning completely emptied of voxels/elements and the core repaired and collected)

    Hi Noveans, 

     

    A new update is available today. It brings bug fixes and should also allow some performance improvements. Dual Universe is now in r0.22.9 version. The changelog is available below: 

     

    Bug Fixes

    • [Market] Fixed the "sell to this buyer" / "buy from this seller" context menu and improved the label’s description.
    • [Market] Fixed Market quantity notifications.
    • [Market] Fixed Market seller/buyer source information for normal and updated orders to show more relevant information about transactions.
    • [Market] Fixed reminder notification for Market purchases. It will now only notify players after completing a local instant buy.
    • [Barter] Quanta symbol in quanta input no longer overlaps the value in the quanta input in barter.
    • [Barter] Fixed a bug in which Quanta wasn’t displayed to both participants.
    • [Barter] Fixed a bug in which players could not move items from their basket to empty slots in their inventory.
    • Fixed issues between Linked Containers and Container Hubs. Please note that a possible delay of 10 seconds may occur before the Linked Container right/distance is updated.
    • Build Helper now performs a full element update even in piloting mode.
    • [SFX] Fixed harvest tool sound effects.


    Gameplay/Changes/Improvements

    • All Institute buildings have been removed from the Alioth and Sanctuary District Areas to improve performance. A new district has been created near the Arkship that is not a starting district but has the Institutes. Each District in the Alioth starting area has a dedicated teleporter in the “District Center” construct (previously District Market) to visit the new Institute District.
    • 10 new markets have been added near each District in the starting area on Alioth. All market functions have been removed from the Districts themselves, and existing market orders have moved to these new nearby standalone markets.  This change is intended to reduce the number of ships parked in the starting Districts, which was causing framerate issues for starting players. Anyone returning to the starting area (Pioneer zone) to use the markets should instead go to the standalone Markets nearby.   
    • Removed "Share Publicly for all" as some players accidentally misuse it.
    • Using the maneuver tool now prevents damage.
    • [GUI] Various interface sound effect changes.
    • An error now displays when players try to convert organization constructs to personal ones when max construct limits have been reached.
    • [PVP] Alerts are no longer displayed in safe zones.
    • [FTUE] Updated First Time User Experience according to the District refactor (Institutes and Markets).
    • [FTUE] Robustification of tutorials has been reintroduced. Players can no longer close windows or click when important actions are taking place.

     

    Known Issues

    • Windows certificate is not up to date. This may prompt a warning message for new players during the first install. It can safely be ignored.
    • The starting FTUE tutorial notes the location of tutorial teleporters as being in the District Center  (previously District Marketplace) where the market pods used to be. As a workaround, these tutorials can now be found in the new Institute District.
    • Uninstalling the game directly from Windows will leave the game files on the disk. Please use the game dedicated unins000.exe uninstaller located in the game directory for that.
    • Numerous French and German localization issues have already been spotted.
    • In some situations, you may not be able to place a Static Core Unit on your claimed Sanctuary Territory. An error message saying that it's too close to another construct is displayed. This may occur due to being too close to a District. Trying again from a further distance should solve this issue for now.
    • A random rendering crash may occur under some conditions due to low GPU/driver resources.
    • Voxel crashes may occur due to low disk/memory.
    • [SFX] Only blue fireworks currently function.
    • [Industries] Talents that impact ingredients of recipe products are not displayed client-side, but the recipe updates with the server recipe when starting.

    • [Elevators] Tweaked model so that elevators placed flush with the ground will work properly again.

     

    Known Issues

    • Windows certificate is not up to date. This may prompt a warning message for new players during the first install. It can safely be ignored.
    • Uninstalling the game directly from Windows will leave the game files on the disk. Please use the game dedicated unins000.exe uninstaller located in the game directory for that.
    • Numerous French and German localization issues have already been spotted.
    • In some situations, you may not be able to place a Static Core Unit on your claimed Sanctuary Territory. An error message saying that it's too close to another construct is displayed.

    • Voxel crashes may occur due to low disk/memory.
    • [SFX] Only blue fireworks currently function.
    • [Industries] Talents that impact ingredients of recipe products are not displayed client-side, but the recipe updates with the server recipe when starting.
    • [Container] Some players still experience some issues with linked containers, we’re investigating them and will release a patch as soon as it’s fixed on our side.

    Hi Noveans, 

     

    A big update has been released today! Dual Universe is now in Beta 1 r0.22.4 version and you'll find the changelog below: 

     

    New Features

    • Emotes are here! /Bow, /Clap, /Point, and /Wave are now implemented. Type the dedicated emote command into the chat to watch your character move and communicate with others! 
    • [Transponder] Allows activating transponders with matching tags to share their exact positions via radar.


    Improvements

    • [Navigation] New option now enables/disables mark interactions with the mouse to avoid tools being visually obscured.
    • Players can now "pocket" small constructs like speeders using right-click > Construct > Construct Compactification.
    • Improved performance in cluttered areas such as Districts.
    • When copy-pasting voxels using keyboard precision mode, SHIFT now gives priority to the previously pasted vertices.
    • [Rendering] Various global water improvements.
    • [Loc] Added and fixed localization for all languages.
    • [Market] Various Market polishes.
    • [GUI] Added “Owner type” filter to the inventory. These settings are saved when using custom filters.
    • [GUI] Added a “Drop Selected Items” button to the inventory container beside the “Erase Dynamic Properties of Selected Item” button.
    • [GUI] Added linked container tooltip regarding distance and max range on the respective inventory tab.
    • [EULA] Added links to the website based on language region.
    • While the link tool is active, right-clicking an element in build mode will now display a "Remove IN Links" and "Remove OUT Links" to facilitate the deletion of links without raycasting them in a 3D environment. Useful for heavy-duty link management in large factories.
    • [Industry] The industry metalwork conveyor belt now animates.
    • [Lua] Added support for position/rotation element introspection
    • [Lua] Added engine tags Lua introspection
    • [Lua] It is now possible to edit Lua local files (in Game/data/lua folder)
    • [Mark] Displays correct icon for distant constructs.
    • [Gunner Seat] Displays correct icon for distant constructs.

     

    Gameplay Balancing/Changes

    • Flashlight state is now transmitted to other players.
    • [Radar] Basic Lua functionality is enabled for long-range radar.
    • [Radar] Uses more precise position for nearby constructs.
    • Virtual scaffolding projector is now tier 1. Logic operators are now tier 2.
    • [Container] Added sort dropdown in containers views (sort include by names, scale, stack mass, stack volume, tier, and quantity, in both ways for alls)
    • [Container] When a sort or filtering is active in a container, empty slots between 2 non-empty slots are not displayed.
    • [Container] When a sort or a filtering is active in a container view, inner swap in that container is disabled.
    • [Container] When moving an item from container A to container B:
    • if destination is the same item (same type, same owner, and same instance), move that item into that specific stack. (behavior already in place, just to confirm that case)
    • if the destination is empty, move that item to that slot.
    • if destination is not the same item, move that item to either the first slot of container B that contains that item, or the first empty slot found. (Previous behavior was a "failed to move item" error)
    • [Container] Container scrollbar now uses the last non-empty slot to compute the total element in inventory, (plus a little buffer of empty slots to ensure that you can still move things within a container). That means that if the last non-empty slot is at position 80, the scroll bar will not go to a position 2000, but block to at max position 100. (number depends on the number of columns in the container, but always allow to see at least 1 line of empty slots)
    • [Container] Container scroll offset is always a multiple of the number of columns, this allows slots to always be displayed in the same column at any scroll offset.
    • [FTUE] Disabled all UI lock functions again to prevent some players from being stuck. Will be fixed later.
    • [Dispenser] Using a paying dispenser on organization cores now gives the Quanta to the Super Legate.

    • Fixed a crash when receiving element update from the server.
    • Fixed a random crash when servers take time to answer.

    • [Settings] Fixed an error in the FOV computation. You may want to check out your FOV settings after updating the game and before playing.
    • Fixed the tool model that clipped through the player’s hand.
    • [GUI] Fixed and improved the PILOTING input reminder.
    • [Organizations] Fixed a bug where organization applications could not be accepted or rejected if they had more than 480 characters.
    • [GUI] Fixed input number state by default in the organization search panel.
    • [GUI] Fixed vertical misalignment on item slot nodes
    • [GUI] Fixed line clamp overflow bug on item slot nodes
    • [Market] Fixed instant sell/buy being partially executed when there is more than one price.
    • [Market] Fixed instant sell/order stats when there are not enough items available in the market.
    • [Districts] “Fake” Surrogate VR Stations in the starting construct are now legitimately fake.
    • [Ore] Asset of Thoramine ore has been added so it’s now minable.
    • Fixed a bug where destroyed linked Container was still working.
    • Fixed an exploit with an active container.
    • Restore linked Container state when leaving surrogate/tutorial.
    • [Chat] Fixed messages not being received if sent while the receiver was loading the game
    • Fixed tool icon and sound when switching tools
    • [Containers] Fixed filtering by categories in market container

     

    Known Issues

    • Windows certificate is not up to date. This issue will be fixed soon. This may prompt a warning message for new players during the first install. It can safely be ignored.
    • Uninstalling the game directly from Windows will leave the game files on the disk. Please use the game dedicated unins000.exe uninstaller located in the game directory for that. This will be fixed soon!
    • Numerous French and German localization issues have already been spotted and we’ll fix them soon.

    • A random rendering crash can occur under some conditions due to low GPU/driver resources.
    • Voxel crashes may occur due to low disk/memory.
    • [PvP] There are slight differences between radar and 3D marker distance displays because radar uses the construct center as an origin point while 3D markers use play position.
    • [SFX] Only blue fireworks currently function.
    • [Industries] Talents that impact ingredients of recipe products are not displayed client-side, but the recipe updates with the server recipe when starting.
    • Elevators currently placed “flush” to the floor will function with less efficiency. This will be fixed in the next patch

    Hi Noveans, 

     

    Dual Universe is now in Beta 1 r0.21.4 version. Please read carefully about the idle constructs auto-compacting activation.

     

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an inventory exploit when force respawning from the login screen
    • Fixed elements that could be raycasted through a force field

    Improvements

    • Client/server voxel communication optimization
    • Idle constructs auto-compacting activation: To improve performances around cluttered points of interests (Districts, Markets, Ship-Shops...), we're about to compact and give back in player's inventory any construct matching the following criteria:
      • Based on an XS Core Unit
      • without any container
      • with one fuel tank tops
      • without any weapon
      • with a maximum of three atmospheric engines
      • with no space engine
      • in a radius of 1 kilometer around any point of interest
      • having a mass up to 20 tons
      • after 3 consecutive hours during which the Constructs have remained in "idle" (not used) state.

     

    This special “compacted Blueprint” allows you to deploy your construct again for free and the fuel in its fuel tank will also be restored as well.

     

    If you don't find a Construct of yours where you have parked it a moment ago, this may be because of this so please check first your in-game notifications and your character inventory before panicking and contacting the Customer Support.

    Beta 1 Release Notes. Last updated on September 8th

    in Beta Updates & Announcements

    Posted

    Hello Noveans, 

     

    Time for a new update and here's the release note. Dual Universe is now in Beta1 r0.21.3 version.

     

    Improvements

    • Improved minimap rendering performance
    • Players are now able to share a territory with a right-click menu, for friends, organizations, nearby players or everybody
    • [FTUE] Fixed and improved the input reminders during First Time User Experience


    Gameplay Balancing/Changes

    • The login screen roadmap is now localized in all available languages
    • Added a new "health warnings” disclaimer in the login screen


    Crash Fix

    • Fixed a crash related to minimap performances


    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed the ‘Loading rights’ query bar which was visible when looking at a foreign construct from a cockpit
    • Updated assets for harvest rocks and fixed Natron that looked like Malachite
    • Fixed invisible market markers on Madis Moon 2
    • Fixed a bug where the current core/skip tutorial was not restarted after getting out of a sandbox tutorial
    • Fixed an exploit with Lua scripting


    Known Issues

    • Windows certificate is not up to date. This issue will be fixed soon. This may prompt a warning message for new players in the first install. It can safely be ignored
    • Uninstalling the game directly from Windows will leave the game’s files on the disk anyway. Please use the game's dedicated unins000.exe uninstaller in the game's directory for that. This will be fixed soon!
    • Beta keys system to distribute codes to your friends doesn't work for existing accounts yet. This will be fixed in the coming days
    • Numerous French and German localization issues have already been spotted and we’ll fix them as time goes by
    • In some situations, you may not be able to place a Static Core Unit on your claimed Sanctuary Territory. An error message saying that it's too close to another construct is even displayed. It may be due to being too close to a District. Trying again from a bigger distance should solve the issue for now
    • A random rendering crash can occur in some places because of some exhaustion of GPU/driver resource
    • Voxel crash about disk/memory exhaustion
    • [PvP] Slight difference between radar and 3D marker distance displays because radar uses the construct center as origin while 3D markers use the player position
    • [SFX] Only blue fireworks may work for the moment
    • The image upload feature is not accessible via the website and will come back soon
    • [Disclaimer] Health warning message is only localized in English for now. It will be translated into other languages next week

    Beta 1 Release Notes. Last updated on September 8th

    in Beta Updates & Announcements

    Posted

    Hi Noveans, 

     

    This is it! After almost three years of regular live testing in Pre-Alpha, and three different Alpha versions, Dual Universe now enters its first Beta phase!

    This also means that the NDA is finally lifted. 

     

    The team worked extremely hard for you to discover this new milestone for our crazy dream project! We hope you'll see its potential and will continue helping us fixing, refining, and improving everything. Thanks for your awesome support since the beginning, it means so much to us... But enough of this, please find below the lastest release note: 

     

    New Feature

     

    • Screen Unit image upload verification

    In order to see your content displayed on a Screen Unit, you now have to upload your images on our new website. Note that all images uploaded will be 100% public. To do so: 

    • Go to dualuniverse.game and after logging in via the upper right corner panel, you will be able to go to the “upload image” page
    • You’ll then be asked to open your Windows explorer and select your file, provided it’s in .jpeg or .png format (that’s right, no gif allowed) and that it’s under 5MB. Please note that drag & drop is not functioning at the moment, contrary to what’s written on the page
    • There’s no feedback yet, but your image should appear after a few seconds in the “Pending Review” section on the page. Refresh it if needed. This review process can take about one week for now but we’re doing our best to proceed as quickly as possible. For now, you have to go back to the page to know its current status (this will be improved after the Beta launch)
    • If rejected, you won’t be able to use your image, obviously
    • If accepted, the image will appear on the dedicated section of the page. A mouse-hover will allow you to click on the link button to copy the link. No feedback will be displayed yet, but it works
    • You now have a link starting with assets.prod.novaquark.com/XXXXX.
    • With this copied link, you’ll then be able to insert it in a Screen Unit
    • Right-click on your Screen Unit and use the “Quick Image” function. Paste the link in the pop-up field, validate, and ta-daaaaa. (You can also use it in any HTML content if you like)
    • You can have 5 images validated at the same time
    • For now, you can’t delete an image. This possibility will be added soon
    • Remember that your content must comply with our EULA and ToS. If, for any reason, you find a way to circumvent the moderation process and display offensive content, you’ll be eligible for a sanction. Be responsible and have fun!

     

    Note: On a more general note, that verification applies to all external URL used in HTML content in the game. Any external URL used must be validated or it will not be ever loaded in-game. This includes custom HUD on piloting seats, manifesto and organization logos, info button, and or course, Screen Units. 

     

    Improvements

     

    • Added a clear warning about death and inventory loss
    • [GUI] Added a confirmation message when using Force Respawn in a Tutorial session
    • [LOC] Updated text for English, German and French languages
    • [GUI] Added a red warning on inventory loss in confirmation popup for respawn, and removed the settings that allowed to skip confirmation
    • [GUI] Improved display of quantas in dispensers (separate thousands with spaces, not commas, to be locale-independent)
    • [Codex] Standardization of the codex font sizes between HUD mode and dashboard and fix of stretched images
    • [Market] Buy/Sell orders are now sorted from lowest price to highest
    • The downloadable package has been shrunk to 5.9 GB and the unzipped assets to 15 GB

     

    Gameplay Balancing/Changes

     

    • [Control] Removed reminder about ‘Shift + i’ shortcut to toggle container in the consumable bar
    • [Voxels] It's now forbidden to put planet voxels 100m above the original ground height. There is still no restriction on constructs
    • Temporarily removed wrecks
    • Removed red watermark from the game
    • Updated Beta disclaimers (long and short one)
    • [PvP] Radar identification uses the construct center position
    • [Organization] Removed the possibility for non-legate to deploy in the name of the organization

     

    Crash Fixes

     

    • Fixed a crash when sharing Construct
    • [Warp] Fixed a crash when coming out of a warp

     

    Bug Fixes

     

    • [Rendering] Fixed ice moon position that was rendered on top of Sanctuary Moon
    • [Rendering] Reverted voxel material shader to fix colored steels
    • [Rendering] Fixed rendering order of clouds
    • [Physics] Fixed an exploit where indefinite lift is possible when hover pads interact with a child construct
    • Fixed ‘Share Element Publicly’ for all that did not work
    • [Container] Fixed a bug where items from linked container was not added to the consumable bar when double-clicked
    • [Inventory] Fixed sub-menu ‘Tool compatible’ that did not update itself when switching tool
    • [Tuto] Fixed an exploit when dying in Tutorial sessions
    • [PvP] Fixed a weapon exploit
    • [Art] Fixed asset textures for Radar Atmo S and Radar Space Medium
    • [Build] Fixed offset when placing Commander Seat
    • [SFX] Fixed fireworks that did not explode in the sky
    • Fixed some bugs with Sell orders from active container to distant market
    • [Market] Fixed confusing message when player doesn’t have enough inventory space to retrieve an item from the market
    • [Market] Fixed current scroll being lost on market update
    • [LOC] Fixed typo in an error notification (inventory full on dispenser)
    • [Sound] Fixed multiple audio cues that were triggered when selecting Exit on the Main menu
    • [FTUE] Fixed the green marker that was larger than the window in the Codex sequence
    • Fixed an issue that allowed to use items from the active container to create a sell order on a distance market
    • [Market] Displayed average price and best offers were confused in Buy/Sell order windows (not instant one), Sell order windows displayed the prices of Buy orders, and vice-versa

     

    Known Issues

     

    • Windows certificate is not up to date. This issue will be fixed soon. This may prompt a warning message for new players in the first install. It can safely be ignored
    • Beta keys system to distribute codes to your friends doesn't work for existing account yet. This will be fixed in the coming days
    • Language selection from the game is not saved on exit
    • Numerous French and German localization issues have already been spotted and we’ll fix them as time goes by
    • In the previous Beta Release Candidate version of the game, ore veins were absent in the Sanctuary Moon. This has been fixed. However, any previous territory scan is now obsolete
    • In some situations, you may not be able to place a Static Core Unit on your claimed Sanctuary Territory. An error message saying that it's too close to another construct is even displayed. It may be due to being too close to a District. Trying again from a bigger distance should solve the issue for now
    • A random rendering crash can occur in many places because of some exhaustion of GPU/driver resource
    • Voxel crash about disk/memory exhaustion
    • [PvP] Slight difference between radar and 3D marker distance displays because radar uses the construct center as origin while 3D markers use the player position
    • [SFX] Only blue fireworks may work for the moment
    • If the game is set in German, Aphelia sometimes mixes German and English languages while speaking. A fix is coming for this very soon
    • [Image upload] Regarding the new image upload feature on the new website, when clicking the copy link icon on the validated image section, there is no feedback to say that the link has been copied (it’s copied nonetheless)
    • [Image upload] Drag & drop is not functioning at the moment, contrary to what’s written on the dedicated web page
    • [Image upload] For now, you can’t delete an image. This possibility will be added soon
    • [Image upload] Delay to display uploaded images in the pending review section can be long. Refresh the page after 10 seconds if needed
    • [Image upload] There’s no feedback saying if an image is properly uploaded, nor rejected or accepted after review. You have to check directly by yourself on the dedicated page
    • Uninstalling the game directly from Windows will leave the game’s files on the disk anyway. Please use the game's dedicated unins000.exe uninstaller in the game's directory for that. This will be fixed soon!

    All information about the official Discord server

    in Announcements

    Posted

    Hi guys, 

     

    Over the years, Discord has become a key communication tool between players during online games and MMOs, as well as a way to keep in touch with development studios.


    Dual Universe's community has been no exception to this. It has become clear that Discord is an essential element in maintaining an active community, gathering instantaneous feedback when needed, and connecting with Dual Universe’s ever-expanding playerbase.


    That's why all players are encouraged to join if they want to discuss the game with other players. This is in no way mandatory, however, as important announcements will also be made on our other communication channels, such as the official forum and our website.


    Please note that, as announced in the past, the server was originally created by the dedicated players from the community. As most players were already connected to this server, they kindly agreed to transfer ownership to Novaquark when we decided to provide an official Discord server. Please give them huge thanks for this.


    This thread aims to answer common questions about Discord and the official server. Once connected to the server, we also encourage you to read the #frequently-asked-questions channel.

     

     

    What is Discord?

     

    Discord is a free-to-use voice, video, and text application. It is one of the best tools for communication between players from all around the globe, and currently has tens of millions of users. It is available on PC, smartphones, or on your web browser.


    For more information, you can check their website and especially the help center.

     

     

    How to join the Dual Universe server?

     

    Go to https://discord.gg/dualuniverse:

    • If you are already logged in with a Discord account, you will be presented with an invitation page where you can "Accept the invitation".
      After accepting, you will then have access to the server from your server list in the left menu sidebar.
    • If you do not currently have a Discord account, you will be prompted for a username before accessing the server.
      Please note that doing so will not create an account just yet, but Discord will propose you to do so. After this, just follow the prompts.
    • If you you are not logged in, but have an account, there is also a link at the bottom to login.

     

    After joining, please take the time to read the server rules in the #server-information channel.

     

    If you are new to Discord, they have a useful help center which can help you understand the interface and settings ;)

     

     

    How is moderation done?

     

    Like most official Discord servers, moderation works far more efficiently as a community effort. We'd like to thank the moderation team, made up of chosen community members, for their dedication to making our Discord server a great place to discuss everything related to the game.

     

    A big part of this team is made out of the people responsible for the creation of the server, as they were already experienced and happy to help. We greatly appreciate their commitment!

     

     

    How to sort out conflicts on Discord?

     

    If, as a user, you encounter any issue on our official Discord server, please contact the moderation team first.
    Should the moderation team not be able to resolve the issue, only then should you contact the Novaquark staff with their permission to do so.

     

    In the latter case, please make sure that:

    • You have tried your best to solve the issue with the moderators first.
    • The problem is genuine, and you include facts and evidence (not hypotheses, assumptions, or hearsay).

     


    What is "linking my Discord account"?

     

    By default, there is no link between Dual Universe game accounts and Discord accounts:

    • Anyone can create a Discord account and set the nickname they want.
    • In the Dual Universe game, forums, or websites, the same person may have a different name.

     

    This is fine and normal.


    However, on the Dual Universe Discord server, there are also restricted channels under NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) for players who have access to the Alpha. Some roles are also associated to backer titles (for those who want to display them).


    For those who want to, it is thus possible to match their Discord account with their Dual Universe account. We call this process "linking" your accounts. It is entirely optional, but this is the only way to access channels under NDA. The linking process is done from the community portal, on the page where you edit your profile. It is as simple as clicking on a button and accepting the Discord prompt (you may need to login to Discord first). You can see a step-by-step guide below.


    Once completed, a custom bot made by Novaquark will update your roles and your nickname on the Dual Universe Discord server (just give it a few minutes, it manages thousands of players!).

     

     

    What is the bot exactly doing?

     

    For all players who have linked their Discord account:

    • It gives them the "Verified Identity" role.
    • It changes their Discord nickname to match their Dual Universe name on the DU server.
    • If they have access to the Alpha, or if they are an ATV member, it gives them the corresponding roles.
    • If they have backed the game, and chosen to show the corresponding title, it also gives them the corresponding role (like "Gold Founder" for example).

     

    For all players who have not linked their Discord account, it removes any of the above roles.

    It also applies the same actions to players who unlink their accounts.

     

    Pro tip: As long as a Discord user has the "Verified identity" role, you know who you are talking to, as their nickname is guaranteed to be the same in-game and on the forums. Please note, however, that this only works on our official Discord server.

     

     

    Step by step guide for linking your accounts

     

    • On the community portal, go to your profile, click on ‘edit’,and go to the Discord tab:
      vEjoQXLtMzBDAPnM0IZ1qKX6prZxp73sYrbzI6qoIRGvJYxHnI9nNvfvHvktV3Fi2nc-Qy0xDS2Mp1xMvjgdkp_yhYKzD_BIwldHmjIyDWw4w77c2k8Hrkfnkv8i7s8zLqbD9QxW
       
    • Click on the "Link my Discord account" button.You will be redirected to Discord.
       
    • If requested, login to your Discord account:
      VvlQk8J9Sc2QOk0zMkkJuuiyxabIDiaQwBD6_Ox1TVXBOhn0YRuBtERXXGQnr32_vH_Lt78CKmCPYnF3Vx7oFjBy-IfIwR8f8jHYJvC6FYol2DNj3JZwG28KEdMUAYGmNHOfmMwR
       
    • Discord will now ask you to allow the application to access your username.
      Click on "Authorize":
      hJsLt2Uyu6dmpWSlAEatKq5aPY0J7RGXQxpCe7ppyIvoW4CkswEhikHHCdRaFHS8j1QhHEWT9yXhloeI2XkXidD8gw81OLpU79W-g6CDe24rNq3oV5xe-YlAOrz4xjfMiKbycBTL
       
    • You will be redirected to the Community Portal, where a confirmation message should pop up at the top of the page:
      ZpXUnxw1qCDXFYI_gOOU7wyjk_mGm7RUqtIkTDP6rpNSiQosUnUVU8jZw2mIebgpasDG8UFac_KkJ4fUhCxMc5qYo0hV-cIFAF9MwSAU8bwh_Z7Jm3eN4lDvRBwvKHGkh-Er-eWu

     

    Note that we only record your Discord id, name, and discriminator (the four digits near your username) when you link your Discord account.

     

     

    How to unlink your Discord account

     

    • On the community portal, go to your profile, click on ‘edit’,and go to the Discord tab:
      iYlpED483_ncfnzSWAODJAxyjlZyErjg-Roq3nmO9Aaqs8cAJ1pcRPenmlamPAPC54hypgPYLEV60-uTl9hdrrdHBqTOkf1Gudi2g_9tFhlfqPxlMg7yUnTgu6RiFz0azjF9WPvj
       

    • Click on the "unlink your account" link at the bottom.
       

    • The page will refresh and a confirmation message should pop up at the top of the page:
      _HFehZlb6ztoHHUmxlKoaxvb70209Ub7jdlQMA3C3u9ApiQdmTrLunoz97FBsoZEWW-hb2acdpIgLS9IM9lCdXUh12gGniKqyGuoUNV52YVp5l5kAonzUTHu86GOTdxdGFTU96L5

     

    Note that unlinking deletes all information previously recorded (id, name, and discriminator).

    We hope this helps! 

     

    Cheers, 

    Nomad
