Hi quick post just to say the multiplayer and switcher system is now live
This now re-enables multiplayer and now instead of an account through the website it will use your steam ID
The Pros of this:
No password is stored server side so even if the database is hacked no personal data is visible as instead of username/pass its just player name linked to steam account number (player:Astra Account: 11111111). So for players to get your account they would need be logged onto steam as you.
This also means that there is no "remember password/email" as its just be logged into steam
The downside though is due to linking to your steam ID if your on friends A account on steam your players wont load vs a universal username/password system
Here is a shot of what would be "visible" to anyone looking at the database for a player using my test account (some end numbers chopped off incase)
The old version of this showed user account name which also was linked to a email and password
The switcher has also been upgraded to change proxy settings when offline mode but this might cause a slight UI issue making options menu invisible but more testing needed
Next patch will hopefully be a content patch such as quests/dungeons etc
