Hello ;
This is a Beta version of the game, and as such, it isn't finished yet. It's like a car with no frame and only two wheels. Sure, it's a car, but it isn't going top speed yet. You should fully expect to encounter bugs, some small, and some large. That's the whole point of this Beta and every single bug you will come across is one less bug that will be in the final release.
What is Close Beta :
It is not possible for a game developer to discover all the bugs in a game. That's why, before the game is released to the public, selected players play the game and report the bugs they find, which helps publishing a bug-free game.
What is a bug?
if you have to ask "was that a bug?" then it was a bug. Close Betas are as much about your play experience as they are about technical bugs in the code. Maybe there's a cutscene that has a weird edit in it. Report it. Maybe you keep thinking that you see tiny pixels blink every now and then in the corner of the screen. Report it. DBK Games has always tried to make games that truly embrace what the fans want to see and do, and all of your feedback helps them.
What elements fall into a bug description?
A bug description contains several important parts: First is the bug description (What happened), second are the steps to reproduce the bug (How do you make the bug happen), and third is any supporting evidence (links to screenshots, etc.). Since this is just a forum, and not a professional bug reporting tool, I don't think that anyone truly expects full research into issues or screenshots, movies, etc. of them. However, the more information that you can provide, the better!
Bug Report Example
---------------------------------------------------------
Description : The enemies do not move at the "Mercenary" mission in the T1 Solar System.
Steps:
1- I got the mission from station
2- I saved the game at station and then quit the game
3- Then I restart/load the game and go to the mission area
4- The mission has begun, the first wave of enemies start attacking and i destroyed them
5- Then the second group spawned but they stood still and did not move.
Other Notes: The second party ships attacked me too, but they did it with a steady stance.
----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for helping us to improve the game.
Have fun : )
Note: Please just post bugs here. Write your other questions and comments under the relevant topics at forum.
At this build there are 5 bugs known and not yet fixed
1- Basic problems with Joysitck (Please don’t use your joystick or gamepad yet)
2- Some texts at Options do not change depending on the game language
3-Sometimes “Part-Time courier” mission showing up as completed when aquired from Wasel.( I couldn’t reproduce this bug yet, If you encounter this bug please report step by step how it happened )
4- Going over the cargo limit does not affect the ship.
5-Some "Ship Load Out" Interface bugs.
The game always starts the steam VR together.
I have a Dell windows mixed reality, which gets connected to my computer even when I'm not using it. Every time I start SpaceBourne, the game also starts my steam VR and if I try to close the steam VR the game closes too and does not start.
If I disconnect the cables from my WMR, when I start the game it still tries to start the steam VR, which fails because of the lack of the headset, but that way I can close the steam VR and the game starts normally.
1 - I started the game (it run with a good FPS so far)
First Mission in space worked well! But the body of objects in space, can be crossed as in the photo!
Sometimes it is all crossed, and in others times when the ship is slow, it is half a body inside!

2 - Now the part where I take control of the character!
I had a problem typing the character's name!
The commands did not respond where I had to go back several times until I could delete the characters and write because it did not display the mouse pointer!

3 - The character spontaneously jumps as he walks past a column as seen in the video at 0:02, 0:09, 0:55, 0:59
https://youtu.be/a55JeyRBqRA
4 - The character slides when in front of some objects in 1:39, 3:04 same video!
5 - The character jumped and crossed spontaneously to a part of which I was trapped, before taking the ship 4:57 same video!
In the beginning when we did the training with the weapons of the ship, the yellow targets appeared only for the laser and turrets, when it was time to use the missiles there were no yellow targets to be hit. But firing the missiles even without targets made the mission continue normally.

In this initial area, the W + Shift to run did not work. I could only walk without running through this area.
https://i.imgur.com/HJFLUCO.jpg
1 - In the training mission, in the mission box we are left without interaction with the box, the button is not clickable, and the close button does not work
https://youtu.be/64T7HL6lK2Y
I can not go on with the training here, I'm going to go back and skip training
2 - I know it's beta, and this mode improves, but for a future, changing that position of character doll drifting in space, is very manikin
https://myimg.io/i/twUi
3 - The interior of the cockpit of the ship, which is very cool, does not match the exterior
https://i.myimg.io/tb1A.jpg
https://i.myimg.io/tZZp.jpg
4 - On my restart, and the first time too, the targets did not appear to me for missiles as the user almostpilot commented above
5 - The ship has no cockpit cam by clicking "C" in first mission
Drone collision detection near the place where the drone race occurs(inside Pirate Station) is not working. Nothing that causes trouble, I did not get stuck in it.

When I went to the asteroid field to do the mining, when I choose the asteroid to mine, many times (often happens) I need to double-click on the MINING button to start the process. Sometimes with a single click it works.
https://i.imgur.com/roLkV0f.jpg
In Auto-mode if you notice the icons at the bottom of the screen, two last ones on the right have the same message: "Cargo". One of them should be "Menu" or "Options" or something like that.

SAVE SYTEM
I do not know if it's a bug or the save system works that way. I saved the game in the middle of the asteroid field, but when I returned to the game and clicked "continue" or even choosing my last save, I go back to a point in the space next to the station and no longer in the asteroid field where I was.

BUGS
1-Avast Antivirus found a threat. I didn't care but it crashed the game. Fixed after giving permission that game asks for. (Image 1)
2-Game started to run on my second monitor. FPS in space is fixed at 35 but interior parts it drops to 20 -24 FPS sometimes.
3-I immediately jumped into settings and played with Windowed-Fullscreen-Windowed Fullscreen modes and resolution. There was an error where I could see my mouse both in-game and on my second display when I made it fullscreen with 3840x2160 resolution. (Some kind of DPI error occured as my in-game mouse moved with half sensitivity). Reverting my settings back to Windowed Fullscreen and 1920x1080 fixed.
4-The tip for the FPS Lock is wrong in the Game Menu > Settings > Game Settings. (Image 2)
5-In the first chapter, where you fight with flies, the ship can fly through the shipwreck. Collision errors.(Image 3)
6- When in station, while getting your suit, Widget of Pilot Helmet seems wrong as some of the images are blocking the text. (Image 4)
7- The hangar where you get into your ship, there is a mechanism that transfers boxes into some kind of hatch. Box goes through through the hatch door before it opens. It is out of sync.(Image 5)
8-After getting into ship and getting the quest Go to the "Portal" marked blue. I went far away towards the Earth. Then clicked on the satellite and pressed light travel. The spaceship warped for a while and left me somewhere very far away. The marker said 50 km. I went for a 50 km. and then it just went back from 00 km. to 99km. It might not show the 3 digit numbers maybe. A screenshot is added where it says 21 km. but it is actually very far away. (Image 6)
9- When pressing 'Ş' key on Turkish keyboards a weird dialogue appears between Hasan Hoca and Burak Dabak. Ü key opens cheat screen. + Key on numpad opens console. " key opens some settings for camera.(Image 7)
10-I somehow opened so many widgets on top of each other. (Image 8)
First of all thanks a lot for those very detailed bug repots. Screenshots and videos helped me a lot !
Now;
@ Vlasovas : I will check all the bugs you reported. But i need to ask you something.
“The commands did not respond where I had to go back several times until I could delete the characters and write because it did not display the mouse pointer!”
That one really scared me off. At the first time that bug appairs ; did you play start level from start? Did you watch the newspaper slide video or skip it? Did you exit game before station, or after entering the station map? Did you exit game before typing chracter name?
About 3-4 pictures; Is that happend when you exit to main menu and press “continue” button?
Save system Works that way. Your all progress saved but when you load you start from station or stargate.
Thank you again for other bugs you found : )
---------------------------------------------
@Vlasovas
1-Mission text not clickable you can only click the arrow button at the left of the text. But you are right I should point that : (
2- About the model at space ; i know and to be honest, i hate that. I will change it at to full relese but I can’t find a good “leaving station” scene
3- There are no missile target at that part. It says” fire 2 missiles with RMB” . You dont need to hit a target. Because in order to hit a target with missile you need to lock it first and you can only lock ships
Thank you for your reports i will fix them at next patch : )
@Şeref Atilla Gürbüz
I'm afraid this is a problem between unreal engine and Avast Antivirus. I wrote it to Unreal Engine but we did not find what caused it.
If you ever encounter any FPS drop please tell me exactly where and when that's happening
About Ş key ; I was using it for some debug, but i forgot to remove it: x
Ü key ; It’s like a dev tool for me : ) But you can use it if you stuck at somewhere. I will remove it at full relese
About -“- key It’s a screenshot interface for players. If you want to get screenshot, you can use that interface.
For other reports ; i will fix them at next patch
Thanks a lot : )

"The commands did not respond where I had to go back several times until I could delete the characters and write because it did not display the mouse pointer!”
Who posted this was @Vlasovas. For me the choice of name worked correctly, only limited to 10 characters.
@Almostpilot ; Sorry about it i edited the post
When I go to the Pirate Station, I ended up not talking to the character who started the cure quest for my illness. Instead I walked around the base, bought a "Misc tool" and went to do some salvaging and mining. After I talk to the correct character he tells me to talk to "Soi" in the bar and he ends up sending me to a new quest to get the "Misc tool" that I already have in my ship installed( I bought early). It would be interesting to skip this part of the mission, or be able to prevent me from buying the Misc tool before starting this quest.

@Almostpilot i have not considered the Misc Tool can be purchased without taking the relevant mission :o could you complete the Making Friends mission ? And where did you find the money for Misc Tool? : )
@Admin Sorry for delay
"That one really scared me off. At the first time that bug appairs ; did you play start level from start? Did you watch the newspaper slide video or skip it? Did you exit game before station, or after entering the station map? Did you exit game before typing chracter name?"
From the beginning, I did the whole procedure from the beginning, I see the newspaper, I did not skip anything, because I like to see everything!
I did not quit the game! It was continuous! I just pressed pause a few times!
He followed his normal script, the only thing is that the mouse did not appear when entered that screen of writing the name!
And if I clicked on the keyboard it would advance to the screen where the systems appear as in the photos!
So I went back to that initial screen about 4 times, and giving "ESC" to appear the menu, until it was clickable, i tried to cause a bug to work and it worked, where the mouse cursor work, and write my name!
It may have been a random problem, as the @almostpilot did not have the problem, it was like the thing of the mission button for me, I can not do the training missions, I tried several times
When I pointed in the video I clicked, but not work neither in the button neither in the "x" to close
My mouse is not a gamer mouse, it is a common optical mouse, I noticed that there is another user with other problems with the mouse in the game, in case if you need me to restart the game with some open beta application, let me know and I make a video!
@Admin
I received few things in my inventory at the beginning of the game and when I went to the pirate station, the first thing I did was sell everything. I started reading about what was sold and one of those things to sell was exactly the "misc tool". It was priced low. And for the description of mining power and salvage operations, I decided to buy it and went outside the station, used the scanner, found an asteroid field, and started mining. I did this process more than once and also found space debris. I was able to do all this before even talking to the "slave" in the cage and actually starting the mission. And now I'm having to do it all over again ... But yes, I'm getting to do the mission normally so far ... I'm doing it right now.
Another mission problem( SOLVED SEE BELOW)
I'm also having problems with the mission in the image below. When I was going to the "ship loading screen" to see the equipment installed on my ship, I was approached by an NPC (Wasel?). While talking (dialogue) he asked me for a mission to rescue a cargo from another NPC named Ferra. I ended up refusing the mission in the dialogue, but even so, the mission appeared as accepted in my mission log. I ended up going into space to fulfill Soi's mission, but during the use of the scanner appeared the mission icon above(retrieve de cargo from Ferra). I went there and did the mission, but when I returned to the pirate station, I no longer find the NPC Wasel to deliver the cargo.

Man.. you guys are good haven't found many bugs yet in a couple hours play. Only thing I've seen so far is when Leaving the base after readying your ship etc.. It asks do you want to do the tutorial. One of the first things it asks you on tutorial is something about Auto and Manual. Text says Manuel and the voice-over lady says Manuel as in Manuel the waiter from tv show Fawlty Towers :)
Game opens on wrong monitor regardless of main monitor setting.
Minor texture glitching on the floor in the starting area
https://puu.sh/Bhqbq/7f64da0628.png
EVE's pronunciation of Manuel "Man-well" mode while funny, needs to be redone
When hovering over ship weapons, for a breif moment the text is displayed outside the info box.
https://puu.sh/Bhr3c/abb002f394.jpg
*will update as i come across more bugs
Actually, I do not like the term "manual mode". If you find something better it would be great
What about : Hand Fly Mode / ProPilot Mod / Control Mode /
Please forget about the problem with the mission below:
"Another mission problem

When I went to leave the pirate station with the girl (Ukra) at that time Wasel appeared and finished the mission above and he still passed me another one. So it's working normal.
https://i.imgur.com/txt5988.jpg
At that very moment while I was talking to Wasel about his mission and his cargo. This transport drone is constantly passing by the ramp on which I am positioned and does not collide with it. Nothing to bother but it is good to know that this occurs.
https://i.imgur.com/f1q7tSp.jpg?1
( I give up, I'm stuck in that part..... Any help is welcome )
And now I need some help. I'm with the girl and went to stargate used by the smugglers, I click on it and I select the button "JUMP" but nothing happens. Am I required to fight all those ships before? They are in yellow and they are not hostile to me. This part has not been very clear about what needs to be done. If it is to fight with all, they are too many.
