Solutions for stability issues
[ 2016-01-19 01:15:53 CET ] [ Original post ]
We're continuing to investigate the few stability issues that have been reported. Specifically, most of the reports have been of the game crashing on exit, and some Linux users have experienced issues saving and loading levels. A potential fix has been identified for the 'crash on exit' problem. The fix seems to be addressing the issue, and is undergoing testing to ensure that the solution does not interfere with a few important functions. This seems to be a fairly common problem with some Unity games. If you are a Linux user who has been experiencing saving/loading issues, the vast majority of these problems can be fixed by right-clicking the game in the Steam library, selecting properties, and adding the following launch option: LC_ALL=C %command% This fixes a problem where periods and commas are switched in some regions. It would be desirable to make this a default launch option, and I am currently investigating if that is possible. Virtually all other crash issues that have been reported have been due to an interaction between the Steam overlay and the mono layer, and can be resolved by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, selecting 'properties', and un-checking the Steam overlay toggle. If you are experiencing any issue not covered above, please email solzerogame@gmail.com and I am happy to help.

Sol 0 is a real time strategy game where you establish the first Martian colony. From the first human footprints on Martian soil to a thriving and self-sustaining colony, Sol 0 imagines a near future using technology that could be available within the next few decades. Make use of minerals and resources across the Martian surface to expand from the first exploratory rover to an independent frontier.
From Chondrite Games, Sol 0 gives players the ultimate chance to take on the challenges inherent in pushing the boundaries of space exploration and habitation. Grow food, extract water, build habitats, generate electricity, evade unpredictable Martian weather, mine natural resources, and construct increasingly complex and sophisticated colony bases.
You’ll be faced with balancing food and water needs, oxygen and energy supplies, natural resource collection, and preparing for weather disasters including meteorite impacts and dust storms. Prioritize the supplies you bring to ensure your colony’s survival.
The technology featured in Sol 0 is inspired by concepts currently being developed and deployed for Martian exploration. From water and mineral extractors, rovers with fine-tuned instruments, and biology labs that cross-breed bacterial strains from Earth’s extreme environments to increase food production on Mars, the available tools reflect an ever closer reality.
Ice caps, lava plains, and arid equatorial regions each offer distinct challenges to success, and randomly generated maps provide extended playability. Build custom maps using the Sol 0 Map Editor, and share your creations with other players.
