Changelog – Hotfix - 1.198.027

  • Fixed a crash in analytics when trying to run Space engineers on Linux via Proton because geolocation is not supported
  • Fixed a crash when shooting rocket launcher while simultaneously trying to spawn an item
  • Fixed a crash in lightning when closest planet was null
  • Fixed crouching not affecting the hit position when shooting
  • Fixed EOS servers not being added to History and Favorites
  • Fixed Gatling guns not pulling ammo automatically
  • Fixed rockets and bullets flying away in a random direction for specific angles of aim while crouching
  • Fixed rockets shot from launcher not interacting with the Target Dummy
  • Fixed Passage 3 Wall blocks mount points preventing them from being placed on the thicker side
  • Fixed turrets producing hit markers when not being actively controlled by players
  • Hot-fixed an issue preventing clients from joining servers. This issue is caused by servers running a very large number of mods. This issue prevents clients from joining servers by not counting mod dependencies toward the listed mod count. We have created a fix address this issue on heavily modded servers. If you have this issue, please take the following steps.

    1) Make a mod on the workshop. This can be an empty mod with no function.
    2) Add all (or part) of your server mod list as dependencies to this mod.
    3) Use this mod on your DS in place of the mods you added as dependencies.

    Players will not be able to use the advanced mod filter and will not see what mods your server needs in server details. They will, however, be able to join.
    If you still have this issue even after taking the above steps, check that your server description is not too long. Server descriptions should be 200 characters or less. We may add this limit to the server description field in the future.

This update broke my train layout. the wheels now are so much weaker and where before the rotors would stay straight when missing a track segment, now all they want to do is to use any loose and breaks the wheels when they are caught in anything.

I feel like there is really no point in creating something nice. unless you want to build a box and add things to it, this game is now unplayable.

Hope the low spec computers can play once again like the old times, or was we forgot it?

If we can´t play the game ever again, please remenber us....

    Skins still revert to default on death or just whenever they feel like it. It's been almost a year, how is this not fixed yet?

    I got a small update earlier when I launched SE. In game (private save) I'm missing "Share Inertia Tensor" on any block that SHOULD have them. Logging onto a server that hasn't had the update yet and the options are still there.

    There are 8 support topics discussing the passageway blocks; please Keen, pay attention to these topics and react accordingly- I am certainly not alone in my thoughts.

    Keen, Please for the love of god can you fix modded servers? The work-around does work but it really isnt ideal for people who run servers with multiple admins. Also the painting grids issue when in a faction is a tad annoying especially when the grid is shared. This didnt used to be an issue so why is it now?

    They are still working on modded servers afaik.

    Trouble is Steam has a limit on the amount of data servers can broadcast, and huge mod lists consume most of the limited space available.

    Siege? With 16 players per server? Rough.
