Fix for a bug that has surprisingly been in the game since launch. The bug was that the particles for the player ship's forward thrusters weren't being wrapped when the exited one of the edges of the screen. This sounds like it wouldn't really be noticeable, a…
Small fix for a case where the audio implementation (BASS) fails to initialise because there isn't a valid audio device registered. Interestingly, this bug was reported by a player who is practically deaf and so doesn't have a proper audio device actually conn…
A small update to solve some confusion around how players are supposed to disable mines when they're first introduced in the game. It's intended that players destroy mines to disable them when they're first introduced, and maybe attempt to deactivate them via …
