SpaceBourne 2 News

Hotfix 1.8.0.1

We’ve just released a small hotfix to resolve several translation/localization inconsistencies reported by players.
This update focuses purely on fixing text and language mix-ups across the game.

[p]SpaceBourne 2 – Version 1.0.9 [/p][p][/p][p]We believe this update will resolve a large portion of the remaining crashes.[/p][p]At the bottom of this patch note, I will also explain the technical details of what we've been fixing and why these issues occurred.[/p][p]For those interested — stay tuned. :)[/p][p]
Additional Fixes[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Why Some Players Experience Crashes – A Transparent Update[/h2][p]When designing SpaceBourne 2, I wanted the entire game to run without a single loading screen. I felt that traditional loading screens break the sense of freedom a space game should have, so I removed them completely.[/p][p]However, technically speaking, that decision has a downside:[/p][p]In most games, loading screens are not just waiting periods, [/p][p]They are also the moment when memory and VRAM get cleared, and unused content is safely unloaded. Since SB2 never uses loading screens, the game tries to handle all of this in the background while you play.[/p][p]But with a galaxy this large, dynamic, and procedural, especially at high resolutions, memory and VRAM could eventually fill up over long play sessions.[/p][p]Because of this, over the past week, we have been rebuilding this entire system from scratch, a brand-new, far more efficient, and far more stable core.[/p][p]We're rolling out this new system step by step, because the game is huge and touches many different mechanics. Right now, about 60% of the game is already running on the new architecture, and even at this stage, our internal tests show major improvements in stability and memory usage.[/p][p]Very soon, the entire game will be fully converted.[/p][p]Our goals are simple:[/p][p]More stability [/p][p]Lower memory usage[/p][p]Faster transitions [/p][p]A truly crash-free experience[/p][p]and all of this without bringing back loading screens.[/p][p]Thank you so much for your patience and support. We’re very close. [/p][p][/p]

SpaceBourne 2 – Version 1.0.8

With 1.0.8, we continued improving performance, memory usage, and overall stability.
Some of these optimizations need to be rolled out gradually to avoid unexpected side effects, so we’re spreading them across multiple updates — and each step is showing better results.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Drift Mode speed inconsistency fixed
A player noticed two different behaviors in Drift Mode:
– With weapons enabled, Engine Burst caused an unintended extreme speed boost.
– With weapons disabled, the boost was much lower.
This inconsistency is now fixed, and Drift Mode behaves consistently in both states.

• Cargo Raids – timer adjustment
The initial escape window was too short.
The time before the first aggressive action can occur has been increased to 2 minutes.

• Ship UI weapon ordering issues fixed
Rearranging weapons could create ghost weapons or UI errors.
This is now resolved.

• Perk cooldown save/load fix
Saving and loading during perk cooldown could cause incorrect values.
This issue has been fixed.

• Ship prices reduced by ~20%
To improve progression pacing, ship prices have been lowered.

(In the next update, we’re adding a ship reservation system.
Leveling up currently refreshes ship dealer stocks, which can cause the ship you wanted to disappear before you can afford it.
The reservation feature will prevent this by keeping your selected ship in stock.)

[h2]New Dungeon Improvements[/h2]

• Cave-type dungeons reworked
Cave dungeons have been fully restructured:
– Spawn issues resolved
– Properly integrated into the Dungeon Manager system
– Improved stability and reliability across all cave dungeon types

[h2]Important Note about Warp Crashes[/h2]

We suspect that many of the remaining warp-end crashes are related to 4K monitor setups.
While we work on the permanent fix, if you are using a 4K monitor, please try:

➡️ Playing in Fullscreen mode at 1440p or 1080p

This may help reduce or avoid the issue until the full fix is ready.


Thank you for your patience and support.

[p][/p][p]SpaceBourne 2 – Version 1.0.7 Hotfix[/p][p][/p][p]With 1.0.7, we continued pushing optimization and stability improvements.
It’s been great to see that the latest round of performance and memory fixes worked for many players, and your feedback helped us confirm we’re heading in the right direction. Thank you for that! ❤️
We’ll keep refining things until the experience is stable for everyone.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Fixes[/h2]

[hr][/hr][h2]Important Note[/h2][p]We’ve fixed several crashes related to foot combat/ground combat, especially those caused by the Gore & Dismemberment system when it becomes active.
If you still encounter crashes related to combat effects, please report them, and as a temporary workaround, you can disable the Gore system from the settings menu.[/p][hr][/hr][p]Thank you all once again for your patience and support. More improvements are coming very soon![/p]

SpaceBourne 2 – Version 1.0.6 Hotfix


With 1.0.6 we continued focusing on optimization, memory leak cleanup, and overall stability improvements.
This update should further reduce crash frequency and improve overall smoothness across many gameplay systems.

Fixes & Improvements

Continued memory leak cleanup and performance optimizations across UI, widgets, and background systems.

Fixed multiple Misactor-related bugs, including:

Misactor not being able to interact with certain UI panels.

General Misactor functionality issues.

Fixed an issue where Asteroid detail widgets could remain stuck on screen.

Fixed a bug in Saving The Anka mission where the prison building did not appear on the map.

Resolved an issue where merging crates could result in duplicate items.

Fixed a Stargate stuck issue and a crash triggered when using perks during Stargate travel.

Fixed a bug in Combining Friends mission where entering the cave out of sequence could lock the mission.

Fixed a bug causing black screen stuck when entering Guild buildings.

Fixed several issues occurring when fast traveling between systems connected by Node Probes during missions.

About Crashes

Unfortunately, we couldn’t fully eliminate crashes for every player yet —
but this update significantly reduces their frequency for most systems and scenarios.
We’re actively tracking the remaining issues, and our goal is to fully resolve them as soon as possible.

Thank you all for your patience, support, and incredible feedback.
