Noveans!

 

We are pleased to announce that the much anticipated myDU - where you can host your own Dual Universe server will be released on Monday, August 19th, 2024. (Please watch for news on the forum as well as Discord as to when it will be available to purchase and download.)

 

We know that there have been many questions and discussions about myDU, so we wanted to give everyone a bit of a head start and to help start preparing for it. Start your engines, unlock the myDU experience and get those voxels ready. 

 

Here is a list of the most popular questions that we’ve been seeing so far:

 

When will myDU be available?

Monday, August 19th, 2024.

 

How much will myDU cost?

A one time myDU purchase cost is required, which will then allow you to play subscription free. (The MMO server hosted by Novaquark requires a subscription to play.) Here is a list of the cost in various currencies:

EUR 29.99

GBP 24.99

CAD 42.99

AUD 44.99

USD 34.99

 

Can I exchange subscription time to purchase myDU?

Yes, if you have more than 3 months of subscription time in your account, you can convert those 3 months for a copy of myDU. 

 

Can I purchase myDU on Steam?

At this time the myDU client will only be available for purchase on the official dualuniverse.game website, and it will require you to create an account.

 

What are the system requirements for myDU?

The myDU client requirements are the same as the MMO version of the client. A decent gaming rig will be enough to run the server locally for a handful of players at the same time. For bigger instances, our best estimate is that the server will hold between 10 and 25 connected players per core depending on what they do in-game.

 

How difficult will it be to host my own myDU for a small group of friends?

The myDU server stack can run on both Linux and Windows. An installer is provided for Windows that will give you a locally playable server with no technical knowledge required. Making that server accessible to others is fully documented but requires a bit of technical know-how. Owning a domain-name and using it to secure your stack using the provided scripts is highly recommended should you wish to make it accessible over the internet. Additionally, the server requires Docker to run, which you can obtain on Windows by installing the free Docker Desktop program.

 

I would like to continue playing on the official MMO Dual Universe server, is that an option?

Both myDU and the MMO server are different ways you can play. You can play on a myDU server, the MMO server or both!

 

If I run into any difficulty installing/running myDU, where can I get help?

Our community has a wealth of knowledge on the technology, we encourage everyone to ask on the official Discord or forum. 

 

Will I be able to export my core blueprints from the MMO server to myDU?

Yes. You can export core blueprints in your inventory from the MMO server right now at this address: https://meshexporter.dualuniverse.game/. Please note that some restrictions to protect creators apply. You will then be able to import those blueprints through the backoffice of your myDU server.

 

Will I be able to export my blueprints from myDU to the MMO server?

No, this will not be possible for a multitude of reasons, the primary reasons being that exports can be modified, elements can be made to overlap, and other aspects of the game can be tweaked which prohibits them from being introduced onto the MMO server. 

 

Will myDU allow mods or modding?

Some limited modding capability has been introduced on the server side, allowing the server owners to create their own plugins that run server side. Creation of these mods will require knowledge of C#, and not Lua.

 

Are all the planets available in myDU?

Yes, all current planets that are on the MMO server will be available. We will also be bundling the fixture files for the old pre-mining unit planets, for those who want the previous mining experience. However, implementing will require some work to be done on server setup, and some documentation will be included for this. Doing this however, is at your own risk.

 

Will there be meganodes? 

With the above mentioned old pre-mining unit planets, there should indeed be underground meganodes.

 

Will the PvP/Safe zones be adjustable? 

Yes, through the backoffice you will be able to adjust the zones.

 

What kind of dev tools will be available in myDU?

For server owners, you will have access to the backoffice, it has a lot of administrative features, it's what GMs use. It can manipulate inventories, trigger game features on/off, edit talent effects, item properties, teleport/delete stuff, import/export ships and blueprints.

 

Will all in-game items be available even those not available on the MMO server?  

Some items which are not available on the MMO server, will be available on myDU, most of these are old items, which are either deprecated or placeholders. While some of these will likely still function, there may be one or two that might cause issues when used in specific ways. We suggest taking care when using them, but did not want to deprive you all from having access to them.

 

We'll have more information for you on Monday! If you have any additional questions about myDU please let us know here or on Discord. 

 

These are exciting times Noveans, get ready for myDU!

How can you be serious and not offering the game for all this months without update, just pressing a restart button on the server and take your playerbase money? x'D

Will it be possible to transfer our Charakter from the DU MMO server to our myDu server? Or do we have to start all over talend wise? 

You will not be able to transfer your character from the MMO server to myDU, but server admins on myDU can give your character the talents points you need to play.

Will myDU be completely downloadable so that an off the grid install can be done? Also, once myDU is installed will you still be required to be online to play?

Hi all,  I have a few questions. 

What about support: With regard to engines, browsers and OS changing down the road, we might encounter issues in a few years.  What kind of support will there be for any bug fixes or patches for issues?

Hi, Will the market bots be there in a configurable manner to allow buying/selling of ore and items?

Will the missing planets be available?

The missing planets are included with the server files but will require some work to make them available.

They have previously stated that the myDU client will require authentication through NQ's account service.  All other activity can potentially be LAN only.

This is Fantastic!

 

Thank you so much for this! ❤️

 

If I understand correctly when buying the server we will not have access to the source code. The question is whether we will have the ability and legal rights to make our own modifications to the MyDU server that we are hosting, in addition to “backoffice” tools. By this I mean for example:

 

 - Simple modifications such as (New balance of weapons, engines, experience points, etc.). 
 - More advanced, Like connecting your own lua code to various items in the game at the general level.
 - The most advanced, such as programming a new type of mission.

- Do I host my own Database for my MyDU, or will it use some official one?

this month I extended my subscription for 3 months, if I add another 1 month, can I exchange them for mydu?

Quote from discord answered by NQ-Deckard

So to clarify this question: No, you'll likely need 4 DACs if you aim to do it that way. There is no direct conversion from DACs, we've implemented the system to convert gametime for those who have a lot of it and want to convert it instead of paying for the myDU directly. You will not be able to pay for it directly with DACs, and if you do convert your DACs prior to buying it because you're currently unsubscribed, then you'll likely need a 4th DAC to cover the gap time. 

In other words:

  • If you are currently subscribed and have an active account with more than 3 months on it, you will be able to convert 3 of those months directly.
  • If you are currently subscribed and have an active account with less than 3 months on it, you are able to use DACs to extend that time beyond 3 months, and then convert 3 of those months directly.
  • If you are currently not subscribed and have an inactive account, you will effectively need to activate 4 DACs to extend to 4 months, and then convert 3 of those months.
  • If you are currently not subscribed and have an inactive account, and you do not have DACS, you will need to pay for myDU.

 

I hope this clarifies this point.

I do good question that was not been answered yet, will we have easy anti-cheat installed with the client since the easy anti-cheat works on windows, Linux and Mac operating systems? Like will we have the easy anti-cheat just like on the MMO version of the client.

No EAC for MyDU.

Is there a way NQ could make a market sync between all the dedicated servers?
That way if someone just wanted to mine and sell ore they could and then someone that wanted to make elements could do that. 

It would help cut down on everyone's server loads.

Also, it would be nice to have a way to sell BP on the markets that would also sync.

In theory we have the ability to do this without NQ being involved, but each server having the ability to adjust scarcity of resources would be problematic.

Can I give a friend a muDU game client so he doesn't have to buy it?

In theory you could allow him to use your card for the purchase, but the account it is associated with needs to be his.
