Satellite Command v1.2 is now available! This update addresses some long-standing issues, and aims to improve the lifespan of the game going forward. Major Changes Improved Mission Generation!

Minor Changes Added a framerate-limiter option the the graphics menu. Main menu social links updates. User Interface visual upgrade. Motion blur fully disabled. GPU VRAM requirements reduced. Bugfixes Fix potential crash when gathering Leaderboard Data. Fix potential Garbage Collection crash. Fix failed playlist gathering.

This is the second hotfix this week and should be the last minor hotfix. There are a few UI fixes which have been in since launch (can you believe it!) and a fix for save games. New Features The Catalogue button on the Main Menu will now display an icon when there are newly unlocked items in the Catalogue. When starting a new 'Sandbox' game, all research will be unlocked. Improvements When changing an upgrade level in the Launch or Docking menu, the bar will update much faster. Hovering over items in the launch and docking menu should feel more responsive. When hovering over a Satellite for it's details, the resource bars will update much faster. Bugfixes Fixed an issue that prevented Satellites from restoring their 'Tool Use State' when loading a saved game. Saving and Loading a game should restore Satellites to their proper firing state now. Fixed an issue where the Gold and Silver medal requirements displayed the wrong times in the Contract Browser and when completing the mission. Fixed an issue where the 'P' key would pause the game. Fixed an issue where the user would have to click the main menu before the first hover or click event registers. I am continuing to look at ways to improve Satellite Command - if you experience any issues with this patch please post in the Technical Support forum! - TJ1.1.3 Hotfix - Release NotesDec 22, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, I have just updated Satellite Command with a new hotfix, and if you restart steam you should automatically update to v1.1.3.

If you restart Steam, you should automatically update to v1.1.0 This patch includes several new features including a brand new tutorial system, configurable difficulty settings, a sandbox mode and a whole host of fixes and improvements! NEW: Interactive Tutorial Based on player feedback and our own assessment, we realised soon after launch that the old tutorial system was sub-par, and we have developed a completely new interactive tutorial that guides you through several stages of the game: Introduction Launching & Customizing Satellites Completing DeepSpace, Debris & Sun Missions Researching Technology Docking & Modifying Orbit Note: The 'Space Monkey' achievement now requires this tutorial to be completed, rather than the old prompt tutorials. Players who have already unlocked the achievement will be unaffected. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26352856/53b9921acb794a94637ec208c9d3f73fee1fdcc6.jpg NEW: Playlist / Difficulty System We have developed three new playlists for the game with varying difficulties. You can now start a session in a more forgiving Casual mode, the default Normal and a brutal Hardcore mode. Leaderboards are only available for Normal and Hardcore modes, while Achievements are available for all modes.

Release NotesJan 6, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, I'm pleased to announce that our second hotfix is now live, and if you restart steam you should automatically update to v1.0.4. This a minor hotfix that fixes a recurring crash-to-desktop caused by Dead Satellite missions, and also improves keybinding support. We are now moving on to our much larger January Patch! NEW: Modifier key support for rebinding You can now use modifier keys properly when setting up keybindings. Some of the default keybindings have changed to reflect this: Hibernate All: Ctrl + H Wake All: Ctrl + J NEW: Keybind for Hibernation / Wake Toggle You can now hibernate or wake just the currently selected satellite with the 'H' key by default. This is exposed for rebinding should you want to change keys. Bugfixes Fixed an issue where Dead Satellite missions would crash the game to desktop on success or failure. Fixed an issue where Dead Satellites would be extremely hard to move with the KLAS tool. They now have the 'MODERATE' mass setting. Fixed an issue where keyboard input would stop working when closing the options panel during a rebind. Fixed an issue where action bindings with modifier keys would replace axis bindings. Fixed an issue where older save games (v1.0-1.0.2) would restore the ISS to a retrograde orbit, but the docking torus would be prograde. ISS is now always restored to a prograde orbit. Thanks to community members Striker, Das (KSA), Explosif.be and Cédric Timmerman for providing detailed information that helped solve some of these bugs! - TJv1.0.4 Live!
