Native Apple Silicon builds of Naev now available!
Naev is now available as a Native Apple Silicon app!
Starting with 0.11.2, any versions of Naev released in the future will include native support for Apple Silicon. Nightly releases are included.
This should benefit users that have an Apple device with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.), with significant speedups compared to running Naev with Rosetta.
For running Apple Silicon builds of Naev make sure you are running macOS 11.0 or higher. Users with Intel Macs can still run Naev on macOS 10.13 or higher.
Enjoy!
Naev 0.11.2 Released!
The Naev DevTeam is ashamed to announce the release of Naev version 0.11.2. Inside the improvements of 0.11.1, a critical bug that seems to affect release-version windows only sneaked in. This bug causes autonav to basically crash the game when activated in certain conditions. Given that this makes the game pretty much unplayable on affected systems, we created a new version that should solve the issue. Thanks to all those reported and involved in the fixing!

Stopped autonav from preventing wobble and overshooting by crashing the entire game

Naev 0.11.0-beta.1 Released!
It’s nearing the end of the year and that means time for a new Naev release! This release is once again one that revamps a lot of existing features and legacy code, while adding lots of new content and features. Like always, instead of doing a release directly, we’re going to be doing a series of betas to try to ensure as few bugs as possible sneak into the final release. We plan to do the official release in about two weeks from now, but it will depend on how many issues and the likes are found.
Now, this release changes a lot of how the game currently plays, and, while it is highly recommended to start a new game, it should be possible to just load up your old saves without too much stuff being changed. In particular, some of the major changes are:
Significantly reworked universe map to fit existing lore
House Sirius completely reworked
Significantly improved autonav that uses lanes and is configurable
Reworked structural outfits and number of ship slots
Weapon sets are more simple with no distinction between weapons and non-weapons
Possible to legally obtain all “standard” factional ships and outfits
If you try it and find any issues, please report them at the issue tracker. Discussion about the game can be had on one of the various discussion forums and chatrooms we have. Check them out here!
