Patch Notes - 1.11

Version 1.11 - Released November

  • New build to resolve missing tutorial issue (no code was changed)

The Vernier Update is Live!

Happy Halloween everyone!

A new update for Stable Orbit, dubbed Vernier, just went live. This update adds a few new unlockable modules for you to play with: a larger node and hydroponics modules, for that added touch of independence. Additionally, this update fixes a bug that caused problems with existing save games whenever a contract (type) was added or changed. A migration path has been implemented for stations created with previous versions of Stable Orbit.

UI issues - fix in progress!

Hi everyone,

Even though I've worked really hard to squash all the bugs out of Stable Orbit 1.0 before yesterday's launch, some issues still have crept up.

Primarily, there have been a number of users who've experienced some issues with the UI in Stable Orbit 1.0. The main problem being that the bottom status bar (which holds all the information and controls major functions) is not or only partially visible. After some investigation, I am on to the cause of the bug and am currently testing a new build that will fix the problem.

In the meantime, Vicodin88 has posted a workaround that fixes the problem on the current version. Full details are here:

I will put out an update on Steam as soon as I am convinced that the bug is truly fixed and the fix doesn't introduce new problems.

Thanks for playing!

Cheers,
Jim.
