    Hey SpacePilots,

    Our Beta Client is online for a while now and we got a lot of feedback. We checked everything carefully and it turned out that some players have problems installing and using the Beta Client on 32-bits machines. Step by step we’re also implementing some other improvement requests and so we’re happy to present the following update which will be live after our sync today.

    New features (no additional download is required):
    • Clear cache function
    • F5 button will refresh the page
    New installer & extension of Bonus Calendar
    • There will be a new installer for 32-bit Windows user
    Due to these technical issues, some of our players using 32-bit Windows could not benefit from the Early Adopter’s Bonus Calendar rewards and therefore we decided to extend the runtime of the Early Adopter’s Bonus Calendar until 22nd October 23:59 (LST). This will assure that every player can benefit from the Bonus Rewards when playing the game via the Beta Client.

    New special treasure boxes & recipes (starting on 10th September)

    Download the Beta Client and play DarkOrbit via Beta Client to be able to collect treasures from Client exclusive Flower Booty Boxes appearing on the map.
    • Petalled Quartz can be collected with a chance from Flower Booty Boxes scattered around the galaxy.
    • The Flower Booty Boxes can only be picked up when you play DarkOrbit via Beta Client (you can see them in the browser version but you cannot pick them up).
    • Once you picked up the Petalled Quartz, you can use it to craft special recipes in the Assembly (they also stay in your account even if you switch back to the browser version afterward).
    • The Flower Booty Boxes spawn on X-1, X-2, X-3, X-4, X-5, X-6, X-7, X-8, PIRATE, and BATTLE maps during the following times:
      • Weekdays: 10.00 – 14.00 & 18.00 – 23.59 (LST)
      • Weekends: 8.00 – 23.59 (LST)
    • The Assembly presents additional recipes that can be crafted with Petalled Quartz, such as Techs, Resources, and Ammunition.
    Thanks for playing DarkOrbit via our Beta Client, we really appreciate your feedback!

    Your DarkOrbit team
