  • Space station sim Stable Orbit is out today - 28 September 2017

    You can be a judicious and talented overseer of a realistic space station in Stable Orbit . Or you can accidentally jettison the food module into space and watch helplessly as the astronauts starve to death hundreds of kilometres from everything they have ever known and loved. I took the latter option when I played the orbital management sim earlier this year , but you might be a more intelligent station manager. I m telling you all this because it s out today, free from the terrible gravity of early access. (more…)

  • UI issues - fix in progress! - 28 September 2017

    Hi everyone, Even though I've worked really hard to squash all the bugs out of Stable Orbit 1.0 before yesterday's launch, some issues still have crept up. Primarily, there have been a number of users who've experienced some issues with the UI in Stable Orbit 1.0. The main problem being that the bottom status bar (which holds all the information and controls major functions) is not or only partially visible. After some investigation, I am on to the cause of the bug and am currently testing a new build that will fix the problem. In the meantime, Vicodin88 has posted a workaround that fixes the problem on the current version. Full details are here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/481190/discussions/0/1519260397775979399/ I will put out an update on Steam as soon as I am convinced that the bug is truly fixed and the fix doesn't introduce new problems. Thanks for playing! Cheers, Jim.
