From Space Patch Notes – Patch 1

Specialists,

Please find our From Space Patch Notes for Patch 1 below:

Improvements

• Tutorial messages will now appear after combat when it is safe
• A waypoint marker is available to guide players to the “Inner Crater”
• Single-player sessions can be paused by opening the game menu
• The crosshair can be customised with additional shapes and colours
  (Note: The crosshair is tied to your operating systems cursor, this was a design decision to help reduce latency with the cursor movements in-game. If you alter your cursor size in Windows, your cursor in-game will also adjust to match it)
• Cutscenes are skippable
• Improvements to prevent players with restricted network conditions from being stuck on a loading screen while connecting to a session
• Additional SFX added to the Energy Harvesters within the City Center, Research Lab, and Metro Station
• Energy Harvester balancing adjustments (Ammo pickup cooldown reduced, ammo locations increased, Harvester healing cooldown increased)
• Added Chinese social media QR links to main menu when localised to Simplified Chinese
• The Film Grain effect level has been increased
• Launch sequence music has been decreased
• Invulnerability of revived players increased to 2.5 seconds
• Health warning indicator threshold raised
• Chromatic aberration value is no longer a fixed value, now adjusts to the post strength of the CA and post-processing resolution
• Steam SDK has been updated to allow the game to detect the Steam Deck separately from the PC

Community Note

You may have noticed that a couple of points from our Community Update post are not included in this first patch.

Firstly, the “Weapon Chest” will now be referred to as “The Stash” as we’re not only including the ability to hold your weapons here but all of your items. This requires a little more testing, we want to ensure the UI is user friendly.

Secondly, the Save Game feature we discussed needs a little more time for us to get this right. We know this is an important request from the community, so please bear with us as we work on a solid solution. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.

Thanks again Specialists, it’s been a week since we launched From Space and we can’t thank you enough for your support! We’re just getting started, expect to see more updates and plans on future content!
