Space Engineers 2: Hotfix 2.0.2.29

04/12/2025

Hotfix 2.0.2.29 has been released!

Stability

  • Fixed a crash when trying to use hand tools in safe zones while notifications were disabled
  • Fixed an issue that caused the game to freeze indefinitely during loading.
  • Fixed an issue where the game could crash during physics world migration, causing unexpected crashes while playing.
  • Fixed an issue with a startup check that should detect PCs below minimum requirements or using unsupported drives and show a clear error instead of crashing when loading Game Audio.

Audio

  • Fixed an issue with Intro Cutscene Audio playing at a wrong speed.

UI

  • Fixed an issue where VS2 would include non-English localizations that were not intended for this version.

 

Please keep in mind that VS2 is still an Early Access and Alpha version of Space Engineers 2. We are planning daily hotfixes after the initial release.

  • Starting with this release, we will always keep previous versions of the game available after major updates. This means you can return to an earlier version at any time and, for example, save your blueprints or creations. You will find these builds in the Steam Beta tab.
  • We also want to be upfront about one important thing. We already know that water will be such a monumental change for the game that you will need to start a new save when VS3 arrives. We try to minimize situations like this, but during the alpha stage of development they are sometimes unavoidable.
  • Planet modding is not fully supported at this stage of development – we will bring you modding support for planets at later stages!
  • Customizable Controls are coming in VS2.2!
  • In rare cases, Procedural Voxel Generation may cause a Contract grid to spawn inside a voxel area. If this happens, you will need to start a new map. This is a top priority issue for our next hotfix.
  • We have disabled the Survival Intro video for some hardware setups; this should remedy multiple issues when starting a Survival play for now. We are working on a permanent fix for the intro video. 
  • Tutorial Contracts can be broken by not following the task sequence; this will be reworked and mitigated in the future updates.
