Sticky: Todo and Known Bugs List

[Evolutionary Games]

Known bugs and potential workarounds:

• During the "Loading Please Wait" splash screen, clicking on stuff may sometimes result in a black screen with sound. Workaround: Alt-Tab out and back into the game.
• Dying while logging out of multiplayer may cause single-player character to sync instead of multiplayer.
  

Player feedback suggestions and likelihood of implementation:

• Keyboard shortcuts for most in-game screens like galaxy map, local system radar, etc. (likely)
• Make current star system more obvious (likely).
• Make players in your Squadron a different color on mini-map (likely).
• Make PVP an optional server flag (likely).
• If players in your squadron aren't in your system, note what system they are in on the UI (likely).
• Increase spawn rates in multiplayer server in Cygnus Alpha (likely).
  
• More enemy types (likely).
• Confirmation window when resetting character back to level 1 (likely).
• Integrate GAR Dedicated Server into Steam package so it auto-updates along with the client. (likely)
• When changing resolution, use fixed list of available resolutions (rather than typing it in) (likely)
• Confirmation window before reset character to level 1 (likely)
  
• Pause game in single-player mode (maybe)
• Xbox Gamepad support (maybe)
• Free-camera toggle (maybe)
  
• Option to make servers private. Friends must connect by IP.
• A version of the server with no GUI, so it can auto-run as a service (maybe)
• Linux version of Dedicated Server (maybe).

If anyone with Linux experience is interested in porting the server, we will give you full source, credits in the game, and as many free copies as you wish.

Windows 8 x64 here..

Hey. Yeah sorry about that it. A known issue especially with Win8. I don't have a box at the office or home with Windows 8 that I can debug on. Will need to find one. ;(
