Hi everyone,

We’ve got another bug fix patch for you today. While there aren’t any new features, some of the bugs that have been fixed were significant and caused a lot of frustration.

Which is why we’ve pushed this patch today on a Friday (the 13th) rather than waiting until early next week. One of the bugs in particular was preventing players from entering the galaxy, and we expected more players would have been affected by it over the weekend – which releasing the patch today should avoid! And the devs will be keeping an eye on things in case any serious issues come up over the weekend.

Hi everyone,

We’ve just pushed a new patch to Steam. It’s only a small patch, but it does contain some performance improvements that will make a huge difference to those of you using minefields. You should get the patch automatically the next time you start Outscape from Steam (please check here if you don’t).

Hi everyone,

We’ve got a fantastic new patch for you. Want to stockpile fleets without hitting your fleet limit? Fleet docks! Want to attack an enemy without them finding out it was you? False flags! Read on to find out more about these exciting new features and what else is new with this patch.

New Fleet Docks Added

Fleet docks are finally here – and they’ve redefined how fleet limits work.

What was your empire’s fleet limit is now its ‘active’ fleet limit, because docked fleets don’t count against your fleet limit.

Hi everyone,

The new v107 patch has been released and there are two exciting new features to tell you about: lightning guns are now in the game and scanners can now always detect a fleet’s owner. There are also other changes and bug fixes you’ll like – read on for details…

Friend or Foe – Play with Friends

You can now see the player and fleet name for all fleets visible to your scanners and whether they’re a friend or foe.

Hi everyone,

The new v106 patch has just been released on Steam. There’s a new minor faction, German language support, some feature tweaks, but more importantly for many of you – some very annoying bugs have been fixed!

German In-game Translation Now Available

Outscape is now available in German as well as English and Russian! You can change the language used in-game from the game lobby (top right corner).

Hi everyone,

The first patch of 2020 is here and it contains a round of fixes for Play with Friends, some new player protection, and the invisible fleet icon bug has been fixed. Apologies that we couldn’t get this patch to you any sooner!

Play with Friends Fixes

Since Play with Friends was released in patch v104 there’s been an ongoing discussion on what to do to prevent the feature from being exploited. We proposed some options in a blog and have since made refinements to those options following the feedback we received. The following changes were the ones players agreed with and that we were able to do in time for this patch:

Hi everyone,

Want to play alongside a friend? With this new patch – you can! A friend can join the same galaxy as you by spawning on to one of your planets. You just need to give them that planet’s unique spawn code. We’ve also got auto-mining of asteroid fields in this patch. Read on for full details and to find out what else is included.

Steam Winter Sale Now On

Before we begin, a quick reminder that the Steam Winter Sale kicked off yesterday. Get 25% off Outscape until January 2nd. If you or a friend is yet to buy a copy, now is a great time to do so! You can play alongside each other with the new Play with Friends feature.
