Wow I love this a lot more than Terraria, great music, cool setting, and it has a very refined art style.

Can't seem to get a server to stay up. I run it and get a fair few warnings and then it says the server shut down.

Yep. Guess gotta wait for them to fix it.
This type of game is better with kb and mouse.

Downloading. HYYYYPEEEE!
Come on, man. This is technically an alpha and they already warned people not to try it if they were scared of errors and crashes. If you expect retail stability you really might want to sit this one out.
If it's a bug you can reliably reproduce, and especially this early in alpha, it's likely it will be reported by a ton of other users as well, so you might not want to bother.
If it's a bug that's hard to reproduce, on the other hand, they might find a hand-submitted report valuable. You might also want to submit it if later alpha stages come out and it's still present. In either case, there's a general bug report thread (with log reporting instructions) here:
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/general-bug-reports.34306
The forums seem to be (understandably enough) pretty unstable right now, though, so you might have to retry a few times.
Geek edit: I find it super weird that their logs don't include a timestamp. I don't think I could debug shit myself without the timestamp differences between log lines.

Same, doesn't load anything just straight to error.

That's strange. I watched quite a few youtube vids last night and no one seemed to have any problems at all with the game, and they all had bows. Sounds like the steam version has some issues, I'm sure they will be quickly fixed.

I had to look this up. Apparently it's a hacked version of injustice gods among us and batman is doing some other character's victory pose.
And by god it's one of the best gifs I've seen come out in a while. Dat grin

This game is stunning, the footage / screens don't do it justice. The menu screen is gorgeous in itself.
I'm already in love. It has the pixelated aesthetic...but seemingly competent modern UI.
Also...it makes me feel like I'm in Star Trek.

Played it for a while, and it crashed when I died. Super excited, but I think I'll wait to actually start playing until finals are over next week. Hopefully by then a good deal of launch bugs will be fixed.
Played about about 40 minutes so far.
1. The music is amazing. Feels like I'm really exploring space
2. I can't wait to explore all the planets. Going to be so much fun
3. Hopefully the quests are full on quests rather than shitty fetch quests
4. No water sound effects
5. A general lack of ambient sound (lightning with no thunder)
6. Jumping seems like it's too high
7. Game is smooth. No lag at all
8. Search in the crafting screen is genius
9. Why aren't there tooltips/bubbles when I highlight an icon? Not everything is explained
10. When you alt+tab out, the game reverts to windowed mode from fullscreen
11. I kinda wish the starts were more realistic and less cartoony
12. Deleting stuff in the trash is way to easy. I predict many frustrations when accidentally deleting a good item

That's what I thought I heard but I have no idea.

Music is unreaaaal. But I get such low fps, are you guys not? I can play SR4 fine so I doubt its my computer. Could just be beta issues.

Maybe but my brain can't work it out. FPS, no problem. 2d side scrollers, I get brain cramps just thinking about it. I tried to do it in Terraria but it was so unenjoyable, especially in combat situations.

I have to see if that menu screen MP3 is in the steam folder somewhere

Hmm what's your config? Getting full 60fps here (wish it wasn't capped at 60 though
)I'm so glad how quick this loads the game versus how long it would usually take Terraria to load worlds. I'm fucking pumped, I'd love to play with you guys/gals!

If you preordered it you should have the soundtrack
Starbound, assets, then music folder. All ogg files.

I have an alienware mx17 laptop, i don't know the exact graphics card. I mean the computer is by no means great but it can run BF3 and Skyrim and whatnot with decent fps. The menu doesnt lag at all, but when i join the game (even just the ship room) i get 1-2 fps

I just started it up for a couple of minutes and it's been running fine so far. I've just got a question, what's the control layout? More specifically how do you quick select L and R? I know it might be dumb but the only way I seem to be able to access them is with the mouse wheel scroll.

Hmm strange, you should totally be handling this game for sure if it can run the ones you listed....perhaps a driver update?
