Everspace 2 Dev Tracker

The main reason is all combat would feel like a constant rumbling. Our intention is to bind vibrations towards receiving incoming fire and hitting the engines, so the player knows the ship is under stress. Adding weapon fire would be an overuse of this feature, and recognition between different occurrences in the heat of battle would become more challenging.

For example, firing a weapon at the same time damage is taken may lead the player to think they didn't take damage since it felt like it was just the weapon firing, leading to confusion when they discover half their hull is missing - or explode - in a way that feels unfair or random. We do not want this confusion to occur, so we chose the haptic feedback carefully.

We intentionally avoided this and have no plans to add controller vibration when shooting.

The abbreviations are confusing, no worries! The shorthand XSX means that both series S and X have been updated.

This is a dangerous comparison, as Starfield is a rather different game. It's easy to compare the space combat depth, variety and controls between the two with a clear winner, for example.

We have to recognize: just because there are other games with spaceships that have features, does not mean those features should be in all games with spaceships. We're very pleased with the results thus far; we'll see what more we can do from here, but please understand there has been a strong intentionality to what has and hasn't been currently provided. Here's hoping we can do more, but we cannot guarantee anything at this time.

Still a debated topic internally (this option was never intended initially from the start - it was added PC-side as a community request, but still isn't tutorialzed or bound by default to prevent user error) so I can't guarantee this will happen, but I can say we have poked about with some thoughts on how it could happen should we push for this direction to occur.

Greetings pilots!

Thank you for your continued feedback regarding EVERSPACE 2 on consoles. Your reports have given us direction on what needs fixing for a better experience for all, so we've pushed a patch through to download right now on PS5 and XSX.

Stargazing unknown signals is now much more pleasant with an adjustment to our skyboxes, and drifting cameras during supralight have been straightened out.

Additionally, we’ve opened a support forum on Discord so all pilots have a dedicated community space to report bugs, supply feedback, and suggest features. Join our ...

Nice, but I need MOAR

Clicking the left analog stick will cycle the sort options for the vendor, and will also cycle to the buyback options as well.

Hey there, we can understand your frustration with various game industry issues. However, this was a rather small issue that is surprisingly complicated to explain. I'll keep it short, though.

There are a lot of flags in the build pipeline for how the engine packages the game, and a lot can go wrong here. The good news is that because all our internal testing indicated sound results, as the user results started rolling in we were able to ascertain what flag needed to be adjusted. It ended up being a very small "fck up." Because this changed how the engine packaged the game, the patch itself ended up being quite large.

We also have to give praise to Microsoft, as they were quick to support, certify, and appr...

Alright, I'll let the team know and see if we can reproduce. Thanks for the report.

Also: When skipping the tutorial, any equipment you had during the tutorial will vanish, and you get new gear. It's a stretch but, could you have looked at the item, skipped tutorial, and then looked for the item (that was intentionally removed)?

Umm...what? Haven't heard this one before!

Can you be a bit more specific with what happened? This is rather concerning, and we certainly don't want loot in a game with looter shooter mechanics to mysteriously vanish! :O

There aren't any plans for mouse and keyboard support on consoles.

In case anyone missed it: We've got good news to share! Our team has fixed the issue, and our friends at Microsoft helped coordinate the patch to get pushed through through the night! EVERSPACE 2 has a patch to download that will fix the stuttering issues (version 1.0.35353), it should start automatically.

Please note that the patch is quite large due to a new data structure we had to deploy, but the stuttering should be gone.

Thanks for everyone's reports, your patience, and your support.

We have the hunch that switching back to an older packing format in the day one patch might cause loading issues, which would fit the stuttering issues we're seeing.

The new packing format (IoStore) ran just fine with the initial Xbox version that was certified for the retail version gold disk but led to crashes on another platform that the team is currently working on. We went back to using .pak files for the Xbox day one patch to avoid branching, never anticipating that an older asset format could cause such issues on the Xbox Series. Plus, that latest code base runs just fine on PS5.

Unfortunately, you cannot test a new Xbox version before releasing it to the public when the same product is already live on the Windows Store. Meaning, nothing wrong with the Xbox dev kits! We would have had to set up an entirely new console project—you can't just duplicate the entire code—to do a private audience test; YIKES! Now we know, but this is AAA territory that we simply c...

Nope, nothing to do with Game Pass! Our team found a potential cause of the issue, and we hope to have a new build for Certification tomorrow; fingers crossed! Our friends at Microsoft are standing by to give this one top priority, so your flawless weekend in space might be happening after all. /Michael

This is our current priority right now.
