This update appears to break linux (proton) support again. I'm happy to help provide any testing and feedback. There's a good number of us that work to get the game running on linux via Proton every patch, and generally with some tinkering it runs fine for long play sessions. I'd hate to see this ...

The best way is by using a temporary fleet. Select all the ships you want to retrofit or automate, put them in a fleet, then retrofit the fleet or set the fleet to auto. After that, disband the fleet again.


Ah nice, this is a good workaround, I'll definitely use it. Still, I'd like to see a ...

Is this possible? I just got to the point where I want to explore/exploit systems in nebulas, so I added ion defense to all of my ships and stations. But I don't want to go through and manually click to retrofit and then re-automate.

Is there a way to either:

- retrofit a certain subset of ships ...

I see this fix so often for so many different games; you'd think it'd either be a huge disclaimer in almost every game now or Microsoft would default it to off (who am I kidding on that last one though).

Guys, this is looking amazing, congrats! I'll be buying it twice and probably taking a week off work.

This looks great. Can't wait!

I recall, I think from the 2019 xmas sneak peak, that we would be able to rotate the camera in full 3D around planets and ships? Is that (still) true?

<r> Late congrats on the promotion (unsure when it was, but your linkedin could use some updating too, lol).<br/>

Ok, the galaxy map zoom in to local scale seems to have won the vote. I'll be posting something up for you all tomorrow. [8D]

Rollhax: Did you enable LAA on the exe? There's programs on the web to do that.

Yep I did.

<t> I tried the steps above and was able to get the game to launch with Baconmod installed on the 4th attempt. The first 2 attempts was the typical "Baconmod by Roger Bacon" pop up and then nothing. The 3rd attempt I got a spinner for my mouse cursor but again nothing. DistantWorlds.exe was not ...

Yeah my "fix" seems intermittent at best. I've gotten the game to start twice now. I was able to play for an hour the second time until it hardlocked and ran my CPU at 95% during a manual save. Wasn't able to start again after.

<t> Alright, I have a little info. Not sure if it will be of any help. I was able to get the game running with baconmod *once* on Windows 10 update 2004.<br/>

I'd been playing earlier today with just RetreatUE + DasBlue. Bacon was not installed.<br/>

The docking bays are very reminiscent of homeworld and X3/X4. Will we be able to see ships flying in and out of them to dock?
