SpaceBourne 2 – HOTFIX 1.0.4

VRAM Usage & Memory Improvements

We’ve implemented several fixes and optimizations to improve overall VRAM usage, especially in stations, planets, and dungeon interiors. In our internal tests, VRAM-related leak issues improved by around 70%.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where drones on the WRA ship could not be used.

Fixed a problem where reaching Rank 3 in the Brotherhood guild would not grant the corresponding ship.
If you already reached Rank 3 before this update, please change any star system once to trigger a refresh and receive the ship.

[p]Thank you all so much for your feedback since the 1.0.1 release.
For the past 16 hours we’ve been working non-stop to address the most critical issues; especially warp-related crashes. We tested every possible scenario we could reproduce and made several major structural adjustments.
We hope this resolves the issue for everyone.[/p][p]Below is the complete list of fixes and improvements included in this hotfix:[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Stability & Critical Fixes[/h2]

[hr][/hr][h2]User Interface & Accessibility[/h2]

  This is now fixed. If you are currently stuck, simply exit the system and come back to refresh the objective.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2][/h2][p]Thank you all so much for your patience and support.[/p][p]
Right now, we have three major specific bugs remaining on our list, and we’re fully focused on resolving them. Once those are fixed, our goal is for everyone to enjoy the game completely bug-free within the next 7 days at most.[/p][p][/p][p]Your patience and understanding mean a lot to us, thank you :)[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Thank you so much for playing SpaceBourne 2 and for all the feedback you've shared since release.
Your reports help us improve the game much faster, and this first hotfix focuses on stability, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.[/p][hr][/hr][h2] Fixes[/h2]

[hr][/hr][h2] Recommendations & Notes[/h2]

• [p]We STRONGLY recommend starting a new game instead of using older save files.
  This will help ensure a stable and consistent full-release experience.[/p][p]Note: If you’re unsure whether you’re still on an older build, open the Character Talent Tree. If you notice any empty or non-interactive skill slots, even a single one, you are playing an outdated version[/p]
• [p]The quick action previously bound to CTRL + H is now mapped to the L key.[/p]
• [p]When you're piloting a different ship and your mothership is too far to allow warping, you can summon it to your position at any time through the Signals panel in the top-right corner.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]Announcement[/h2][p]Subtitle support is still in development and will not be included in this hotfix.
It will be added in a future update. Thank you for your patience and understanding![/p]
