Go into the explorer and type %appdata% in the address panel at the top. Press enter. Post the exact path in the forum.
Do this please. No translation in the path please, I need to know exactly what is written there.

Please stop writing in russian. There are other members of the forum who do not want to translate every single post you make (And I'm starting to get a little annoyed by that, too).
Go into the explorer and type %appdata% in the address panel at the top. Press enter. Post the exact path in the forum. I think the problem is the windows account name, not the "Users" folder.

Update: SpamBots are gone, I think the nasty captchas should be gone now.

Alright, it's what I thought. The log file you sent me is empty.
The problem is, that the game can not yet handle cyrillic letters :-\
I think I know a way for you to still play, although it is a little circuitous.
You must create a windows user account with a name without cyrillic letters. Then try to install and run the game again with this user account.
Basically, make sure that in your path to %appdata%\Avorion there are no cyrillic letters at all. This should get the game to work.
I will fix this issue as soon as possible.
Btw I don't have a problem translating your posts, but for other users who don't speak russian and have similar problems it would be nice if you could continue writing in english.

The "connection X closed" is not a bad thing, but it might be misleading. For now a client first looks whether a server is running, thus connects to it once to see if it is there. That's what causes this weird error message.
If you want, you can start a dedicated server again and then give me your serverlog. This way I can see what went wrong and fix it in later versions.

When you write a post, under the textfield there is an option "Attachments and other options"

Ah you seem to be using the google translator.
That thing spits out bad bad english, that is almost not comprehensive, it even doesn't translate every word, so please excuse if I don't always understand what you mean.
I think I know the bug that is happening. To be sure, you have to give me your %appdata%\Avorion\serverlog.txt file, so I can see what is going on.
-
Do you get the same error when you start a singleplayer game?
In your %appdata%\Avorion folder there should be a serverlog.txt file. Can you post the file on the forum?
-
Alright, I found an error in the runServer.bat file. The paths are not correct, start up will most certainly fail.
I'm currently writing an article in the wiki on how to start up a server. Just hang in.
By the way, is it possible that the username on your pc contains cyrillic letters? I did not think of cyrillic/arabian/chinese when designing the server, to be honest.
It only supports ANSI characters, so this might as well lead to a crash.
You should be able to fix this for now, by starting the server manually in a directory that contains only ANSI C letters.
Any way, I'll release a new version soon, with better bug tracking, so this bug finding will be easier :)

Hello,
The forum user list is now free of spammers. I checked the email addresses to the ones on stopforumspam.com. If anybody was deleted innocently, all you have to do is register again.
Take care,

Hello everybody! I heard about this game on the Bay12 (Dwarf Fortress) forums, and thought I'd give it a try. I am totally digging it, and will probably begin hosting a public server for it.
The only major problem I've had so far is the difficulty of getting part blueprints, but I'll go into more detail on that in a suggestions thread ;).
Great to hear you like it! A public server would be cool, as I don't have the resources to create one.
If I may just tell you one thing: The servers are not yet grief-secure, but I'm working on that.
I am loving the ability for custom ships and the combat mechanic. While the following statement may be a bit surprising, I see this game being able to overtake EvE Online if its taken up as more than a hobby (wink wink), and will be making various suggestions and will try to spread the word of the game.
Wow, I'm really not sure if the game can take a behemoth like EvE, for starters I'm happy as soon as I get a stable working version. :)
EDIT: Yeesh, tone down the captcha or get rid of it altogether, it's ridiculously difficult to tell what it says, and the audio recording isn't that good either.
I will. Problem right now is, that I have approx. 100 spam bots registered, just waiting for their opportunity to post links into the forum. I must get rid of them first.
-
It's definitely possible to play on the same machine that a dedicated server runs on.
In your folder where your server created the galaxy, there should be a file called serverlog.txt. Could you please post its content?
EDIT: The file should be located in your %appdata%\Avorion folder.
-
It looks like your hardware does not support cube textures.
But it won't crash all the time when you start the game?
Can you tell me the graphics card you're running the game on?

So you mean, whenever you get loot dropped, that is a material, you can collect it but it won't increase the number of this material in your menu at the top left?
-
Go ahead! This would be great. Permissions shouldn't be a problem afaik, just register and start writing :)
-
I have right now 2am.
Similar here. I'm off to bed.
P.S.
I'm sorry if I annoy you ;)
You don't. Try out everything I suggested above and we'll see.

Have you tried successfully starting the server?
If nothing happens when you run the .bat file that's a bad sign, but it is impossible for me to say why it doesn't work, as long as you only say "nothing happened".
When you say nothing happens, is it literally nothing? Do you see a console?
Have you tried running it from the command line?
When it's started up, can you connect to it?
Start a new single player galaxy, let the program crash, then post the logfile of the server and the client.
The problem is that this has not happened in this manner before and it's always difficult to tell the error when not present at the affected pc.
-
To fix your problem I need to know where it comes from. And you need to tell me what happens, otherwise I can't help you.

Please repeat the description, I don't quite understand what's going on.
What exactly are you trying to do, and what is not behaving as expected?
-
Can you start the server alone? (try to run the runServer.bat?)
Yes, for example.
Have you tried on another machine? (0.2 and 0.3 running on a laptop (MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1; Intel Pentium CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz, 2,0GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6470M) but my friend have the same problem as me)
I dont quite understand. Does it work or not?
You should try to provide more information. I'm having trouble finding any more reasons why it would crash.
-
Oh, it seems like that's messed up on the website.
Use this link for version 0.2 http://www.avorion.net/demo/Avorionv0.2Setup.exe and try creating a new galaxy.
Can you start the server alone? Have you tried on another machine?
-
Did you maybe try to load an old galaxy? That might not be possible.
In the log, it looks like your galaxy is empty.
Does the crash occur when you start a new galaxy?
Does it occur when you start a galaxy with v0.2?
-
Have you tried starting the game as admininstrator?
And you told me before, that another version worked fine? Which one?
There should be a clientlog.txt in your %appdata%\Avorion folder. It should not be too big.
Can you post its contents please?
Also, what are the system specifications of the pc you are running the game on?
-
I'm glad you like it!
What is the best way to maintain contact and follow the progress that you make/ report bugs and make suggestions?
You can follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/koonschi
That's where most of the development updates will be posted. Usually I post a lot of small updates there.
Big updates like new versions of the game will be posted on the website, too.
For bugs and suggestions you can use the forum here.
Just know that some suggestions include a huge load of work even if it doesn't look like it, so I might not be able to implement it.

This is the problem.
I guess windows just didn't change the folder names when you renamed the account. Currently I see no other solution than creating a new user account and using a name that consists of ANSI letters only.
