OK guys i have fixed the client crash issue, it took a while to figure out where the crash occurs, why it didnt wrote crash file and how to fix the crash. Now its working, i tested it with Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit).
See here: http://hostilespace.co.uk/forum/viewtop … 9350#p9350
Fixed client crashing on windows older than 8.1.
Fixed client no longer writing crash dumps on root directory of current drive when a crash happens very early in code.
Cant wait setting up a Windows 7 VM now, just figured out i already have one 
I already figured out where its crashing, but unable to fix this because i have to test that on an OS where it occurrs, in this case its Windows 7 from Psitek.
Now i cant continue, because his wife needs PC except anyone here has a running windows 7 machine with teamviewer and wants to help me out.
matthew thats another issue that supa will look into tomorrow.
Could all of you please post here what windows u have? i also need to know if its 32 or 64 bit.
And btw. it says its writing a dmp file but it doesnt, means it crashes very early in program code.
Wont help now it must be an more common issue, psitek is now trying something but it looks like an incompatibility issue.
Atm im figuring out with psitek whats the problem, stay tuned.
OK the first thing, never put dll files manually in, there are different versions out. Remove the maual added dll files please.
Then try to start game, if it still says missing dll file then you probally installed the wrong VCRedist, because they are CPU architecture based, means 32 bit or 64 bit.
No problem, btw i added this info to system requirements of download page, to inform ppls about this.
ok then you also have to install: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa … x?id=40784
Download Redist 2015 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa … x?id=48145

OK Server should run now. It were not my fault or an software issue. Its hardware related and i hope my provider will fix it soon. If the hardware issue fixing would end intense, i would upgrade my server to a new tariff, which makes the server faster (more cpu cores, more RAM, larger disks) for the same price. But before that happens i would inform you here, because its currently unclear if i can just migrate my server or doing a fresh install.
Doing a big server maintenance on API-Server today. Today 3:00AM he were unresponsive for 10-20 mins, then he were back running but in an unusable/uncontrollable state. I cant tell how long this will take, but i try to fix it today.
So what happened here?
Simple: The client has a new chat command engine, this allows us to add more complicated commands. A lot of HELPs command will/has move(d) to client. On top of that all chat commands now have meaningful help text.
For a list of all existing commands you simply type "/help". If you want to show help text of any command you simply do: "/help commandname" where "commandname" should be replaced with your command you want to get help text from.
You may have noticed we already have around 160 commands, which is a lot. Showing a command list for tons of commands is horrible, so i added an aditional command which allows you to export the complete command help as json/text/html. To do that, you simply do "/export html". This will generate am easy to read HTML file in your game directory, which will be opened in your default browser. You can also print that help text out to paper, but then i suggest to use "/export text". The JSON format btw is used to update the chat command table on this forum page: http://hostilespace.co.uk/forum/misc.php?hsr=commands. Feel free to use the exported help in any project, f.e. as additional help for your clan homepage.
If you dont have any clue where to start with the tons of commands that exist, you can use "/suggest". This will pick any random command and show its help. This also happens when you have "Help text" turned on in options.
I really suggest that you go through the list, because there are few very useful commands like "/forum", "/reports" (yes the plural), "/browser", or "/countdown".
On top of that huge update, we have added 2 new sounds to the game. The first sound is made for the mining skill. The second sound is used to indicate game launcher startup. Maybe that launcher sound could be used for map scene switches (/hyperspace, /return, ...).
Fixed a bug where SHIFT+Q caused an exit without opening quit confirm window.
Debug chat commands will no longer appear in chat help list.
Chat commands for HELP will now be forwared directly to HELP (Avoids spam in LOCAL chat).
Added asynchronous chat command "/calc".
