We're currently busy migrating the game to Unreal Engine 4.16, adding more controls options for VR and implementing the long-awaited Hardcore Mode. While doing so we received a few alarming reports about a problem with the very last mission of the game. It must have found its way in with the last hotfix - so we decided to branch to the old code base and hotfix the hotfix.
Here's the tiny little list of changes for this patch:
- Fixed very last mission not progressing correctly
- Fixed Predetermination glyph incorrectly removing all jump suppressors
- Fixed very last mission not progressing correctly

…Hello Everspace Community! We're almost down to ONE WEEK LEFT for the full launch.
@ROCKFISH_Andihas some important information regarding joystick controls at release:
Before buying, please be aware that the game currently does not support joysticks. We will start working on joystick support right after release.
Also note that only XInput controllers are fully supported (XBox controllers and the likes). When playing in VR you will have to rely on a controller.
We know that there are many space game fans out there who own joysticks and might be wondering why there currently is no support. Please consider the following:
- Unreal Engine 4 does not offer native Joystick support in version 4.14 (which we are currently using) and we are a fairly small team of 12 people, with until very recently only 3 coders working full-time on the game.
- Everspace was specifically designed for mouse and keyboard. It is the

…We've just released a new update. Highlights include functional cockpit displays and the addition of a mysterious alien race, referred to as "The Ancients".
You can see the complete list of changes below.
We're able to offer this update on Mac as well, however with a slight delay of about 8 hours as something went wrong during build process. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Version 0.5 and 0.6 fell off the back of a gigantic space truck, if you're wondering. Kidding aside, a lot of comments indicated that version numbers were often being associated with completion percentage (though they're really just numbers to us), so we've decided to play along and go with version 0.7 - as the inclusion of the functional cockpits, the Glyphs and the Ancients are all big additions and we're fast-approaching full release.
New Features
- Added mysterious alien race, referred to as "The Ancients"
- Added ancient structures, which

…We've just released a new update. Highlights include enhancements that can be equipped in the hangar, derelict colonial stations, ship color customization and alternative loadouts.
See the complete list of changes below. Please note that Drone Overrides won't work in this version.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer this update on Mac due to several severe issues that popped up after migrating to Unreal Engine version 4.14. We're still working on solutions, but chances are high that we will have to wait for a new Unreal Engine version before we can release the update.
New Features
- Added enhancements that can be equipped in the hangar
- Added new points of interest: Derelict Colonial stations
- Added player ship colors: Some are unlocked from the start, more can be collected during runs
- Added alternative ship loadouts

Display MoreIt appears we all forgot the SWAT Portal's Birthday, so let me be the first to say...
Happy Birthday to the SWAT Portal! A place where it isn't just an ordinary forum or website for a standard game, the SWAT Portal is a home to many. A place where players can come together and have fun with others, and rejoice their achievements and celebrations. So I say for all of us, Happy Birthday for the Home for all Crossfire (and extended games) Players!
And congrats to OP and others for creating such a home!

Display MoreWe like to share some details about the current status of the Linux port.
We were able to “hack around” some shader problems we had in OpenGL with objects very far away.
The most predominant OpenGL issue we have not solved yet is the dynamic directional lighting for translucent materials. For some reason all objects with this material are instead lit by non-directional light, which makes them way too bright.
We reached out to Epic to help us on this topic.
