Hi everyone, It's been a long road to retool our engine so we could leave the 32bit limitations behind, but we're finally here.

The second part of our 64 bits update is ready for the experimental branch! You can read up on the details about why this is a big change in our previous post here . What are we changing? We're not changing much in this update compared the previous one. We had to make sure that all engine code would be compatible with 64bit. We never really intended the game to be limited to 32bit, which meant…

RESTORING OLD SHIPS Sadly, a bug in the previous version caused all ships that were loaded in that version of the game to lose the paint on generated exterior tiles. This data can't be restored by the game automatically but it is possible to restore old ships from a backup. There are a few options: WORKSHOP If the old versions of the ships have not been uploaded to the workshop using 1.0.4.50 t…
It’s been some time since the last Interstellar Rift update, and in the meantime we’ve been working on updating underlying systems to retool the game for 64bit. Why is this important? Interstellar Rift servers need to simulate the galaxy and solar systems need to be loaded into memory to do so. Being a 32bit application limits the amount of data we can load into memory, and puts a limit on how…

BUG FIXES · Optimize synchronization of fleet changes (is now ~8 times faster) This should reduce the slowdown experienced when players are interacting with their large fleet vaults, however we're still not happy with how fast it is after this change.
