Title Update: v1.2 Available Now!
Hi all!

Satellite Command v1.2 is now available! This update addresses some long-standing issues, and aims to improve the lifespan of the game going forward.

Major Changes

  • Improved Mission Generation!
    Missions will now be more likely to generate if you have not yet completed them in the Catalogue, this should make it much easier to complete the collection and earn the tougher achievements!

  • Engine Upgrade!
    The game has moved from Unreal Engine 4.12 to 4.26. This upgrade takes advantage of the latest performance and visual upgrades of the engine, such as a new filmic tonemapping system, as well as considerably faster load times.

  • Improved Catalogue!
    The catalogue has received a much-needed visual update.



  • Performance Optimisations!
    Several key optimisations have been made to both the graphics and CPU pipelines, increasing load times and general in-game performance.


Minor Changes

  • Added a framerate-limiter option the the graphics menu.
  • Main menu social links updates.
  • User Interface visual upgrade.
  • Motion blur fully disabled.
  • GPU VRAM requirements reduced.


Bugfixes

  • Fix potential crash when gathering Leaderboard Data.
  • Fix potential Garbage Collection crash.
  • Fix failed playlist gathering.
  • Fix translucency draw-order issues between atmosphere and other elements.


Please note that the upgrade from Unreal Engine 4.12 to 4.26 was a significant code overhaul - please report any stability issues to the support forums so that they can be resolved quickly!

Enjoy!

1.1.3 Hotfix - Release Notes
Hi all,

I have just updated Satellite Command with a new hotfix, and if you restart steam you should automatically update to v1.1.3.

This is the second hotfix this week and should be the last minor hotfix. There are a few UI fixes which have been in since launch (can you believe it!) and a fix for save games.


    New Features

    • The Catalogue button on the Main Menu will now display an icon when there are newly unlocked items in the Catalogue.

    • When starting a new 'Sandbox' game, all research will be unlocked.



    Improvements

    • When changing an upgrade level in the Launch or Docking menu, the bar will update much faster.

    • Hovering over items in the launch and docking menu should feel more responsive.

    • When hovering over a Satellite for it's details, the resource bars will update much faster.



    Bugfixes

    • Fixed an issue that prevented Satellites from restoring their 'Tool Use State' when loading a saved game. Saving and Loading a game should restore Satellites to their proper firing state now.

    • Fixed an issue where the Gold and Silver medal requirements displayed the wrong times in the Contract Browser and when completing the mission.

    • Fixed an issue where the 'P' key would pause the game.

    • Fixed an issue where the user would have to click the main menu before the first hover or click event registers.



I am continuing to look at ways to improve Satellite Command - if you experience any issues with this patch please post in the Technical Support forum!

1.1.2 Hotfix - Release Notes
Hi all,

I have just updated Satellite Command with the latest hotfix, and if you restart steam you should automatically update to v1.1.2.

This is a minor hotfix which fixes a couple of long-standing UI bugs.


  • Bugfixes

    • Fixed an issue where the 'Powered Down' prompt tutorial would display 'Key0' and 'Key1' instead of the user-bound Hotkeys.

    • Fixed an issue where the mission criteria text for Gold and Silver medals was displaying the incorrect times. Bronze medal criteria now displays the mission deadline.



Edit:
I will be fixing a few other UI issues in the upcoming days, as well as implementing a new reward feature. Stay tuned!
