Hotfix 1.2.40068 is now live!



Greetings, Pilots!

We have a minor hotfix going out today on all platforms. This fix solves an irritating issue stopping many pilots from completing all challenges on Vesna. Now, the bugged shield generators on Vesna can be accessed and destroyed.

Additionally, the update includes a Steam Deck specific fix that should stop EVERSPACE 2 from crashing in areas like Prescott Starbase.

Changelog Update 1.2.40068:
  • Fixed that the "3-Shield-Generators" puzzle on Vesna could not be completed
    Note: Players need to leave and re-enter the location or load a savegame in the location for the fix to apply correctly.
  • Integrated community suggestions for translation improvements from Crowdin
  • Fixed that some characters in Traditional Chinese subtitles were not correctly displayed
  • [Steam Deck] Always use DirectX 11 (regardless of initial DirectX selection) to prevent VRAM related crashes


It will probably be a while before our next update, but that doesn’t mean we’re not listening! Please continue to report bugs and feature requests in our Discord and Steam forum. While we may not respond to every feature request or bug report, our community team reads every message.

As we work on future expansion content, we’re continuing to look into performance optimization opportunities. When we have more to share, we’ll be sure to do so!

See you in the stars!

Update 1.2.39726 - Post-Incursions Hotfix



Greetings, pilots!

Our Incursions update was our biggest yet, but big changes, including a significant engine change, introduced more bugs than expected. Since the release of our last update, our community team has been keeping an eye on reported issues, compiling lists of bugs for the team to look into. Today’s update brings solutions for many of the bugs introduced through the Incursions update and our migration to Unreal Engine 5.

We appreciate the ongoing support from our community of pilots across PC and consoles. Many of the fixes in this hotfix were only made possible because you helped us track down these issues.

Read on for a full list of changes:
