MAIN CHANGES
This is an emergency update to fix some translation issues. I’ve introduced some partial rudimentary right-to-left language support. Read 🌎 How to translate the game to discover how it works.
There are two known issues with languages:
- Arabic-style languages, where the shape of each letter changes depending on whether it’s begin/middle/end/isolated.
- Thai-style languages, where the accents are not part of the letter, but are superimposed afterwards on it.
Both problems are currently unsolved. I’m looking into them, but I fear that I don’t have the spare time to solve them at this stage.
Also: Rather self-evidently, galaxy regeneration has been postponed.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.
- if any options have been removed or added to a new version, then all menu options (not just graphics) will be lost.

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU
(including all sub-folders). Never rename files or move them from one version folder to another. Simply make a copy and then later put it back exactly where you found it.
