you broke the trade guild missions

Not sure what's wrong with the trade guild missions, or the inability to scan asteroids. The Hive should be working.. I verified a functional Leviathan battle right after restart.

I've reported the trade-guild and mineral scanning issues to the other devs, who are currently driving home, asleep, or repairing their broken computers. So, it'll probably be a few hours before someone checks into those issues. In the meantime, sorry for the problems, we'll get them straightened out as quickly as possible.

oo, can't wait to see O-7!

Weird.. my character selection screen now sometimes stretches beyond the window edge, which makes it impossible to click the play button. Clicking disconnect and logging in again seems to fix it.

Removing all plugins doesn't help.

Was the Mac memory leak the one when you reloaded the textures?

Well, the fixes get my Seal of Approval™. The EULA clickthrough issue is fixed, and you also fixed the problem I was having that required me to delete update.rlb each time I wanted to run VO through the Updater. The first update server connection fails, but the second picks it up, as seen here:

Welcome to Vendetta Online 1.8.34

So, good devs! You each get two cookies.

Now fix my roids and Trade Guild mission. Or just fix the Trade Guild, and I'll use my roid map to mine circles around those that still need to use such new-fangled tools as "scanners". I tell you what, back in the day, we had to walk 20000m in an Ion Storm with pirates at our heels, uphill both ways just to get a few measly pieces of Aquean. Kids these days, they just go out in their mining moths and gorge on the Heliocene! Bet they've never gotten their tongue stuck on an iceyo, like we had to...

Ok mining/scanning and trade guild mission is fixed.

And I remembered to update Twitter!

Yay!

I worked through the new courier missions in UIT space. They seem fine, a good introduction to traveling about with a friendly storyline.

seems to me that VO no longer remembers your weapons group settings after being destroyed and purchasing your ship (through the dialog)......

Verasi-O7. JahelaJ is hated by UIT but she was able to fly circles around the station without a peep from the turrets.

The turrets are around the wormhole, not the station.

i'm also getting the same problem as mr_spuck though it seems to be after the 2nd update which fixed scanners/trade guild may be coninsadence though

Nothing is coninsadence. Everything happens for a poprsis.

a bug with strike forces:
Sedina D-14, after being destroyed by the sf, the message of the removal of temp KOS has already displayed, I launch from the station, and the SF continues to attack me......was this a bug before 1.8.34 or did this update cause this?

That bug has always been there. If you don't actually leave the sector to stop the temporary KOS, they will attack you until they dock with the station.

I thought the "bug" was that if you damaged something after you died you would get temp KOS set again.

I also have spuck's error with the play button.
