Greeting Ectypes! Today’s patch lays the groundwork for cross-play, streamlines joining friends, and adds tools to keep lobbies friendly. You’ll also see UI/controller polish, and a wave of bug fixes.
Cross-Play now supported! - Tech and options now in place
Join Codes - Share a short code to hop into games fast
Report & Block - Mute, hide, and auto-kick blocked players; unblock via the matchmaking terminal
Plus: host name tooltip in matchmaking, redesigned controller button icons, stacked identical rewards on tally, and lots of fixes!
We’ve enabled the core systems and UI hooks for cross-play. You may notice new options appearing in menus and matchmaking. Cross-play features will become more meaningful as we roll them out further, but the tech is now in place.
Skip the lobby browsing: the host can now share a Join Code. Enter the code to jump straight into their session - easy for friends, communities, and stream audiences.
You can now report and block other players.
Blocked players can’t message you, their rooms won’t appear in your matchmaking, and they’re auto-kicked if they try to join your session.
To unblock, open the Matchmaking Terminal and manage your blocked list.
Matchmaking: Host name now appears via tooltip
Controller: Redesigned button icons for better clarity
UI: Identical rewards are now stacked on the tally screen
Misc: Under-the-hood work toward banning features and cross-play; you may notice new options popping up here and there
Fixed long startup times when launching the game
Addressed various UI issues when using a controller
Fixed secondary tooltip sometimes sticking around
Fixed exit vector marker occasionally displaying on other markers
Fixed rare issue where a save could be deleted immediately after loading. The save will not be deleted until you perform your next void jump.
Now what are you waiting for!? Go play! And don't hesitate to share with us your experience on our Discord!
PS: Content update also imminent! Remember that already on the 11th of September we are releasing our new Striker ship and more! If you haven't had a chance, check it out now!
