Revision as of 15:08, 22 December 2012
Key Points
- Purchase from the developer's website for a DRM-free and Steam key version.
- Save games are cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux.[1]
- Game is unplayable on resolutions under 1280x720, and exhibit other anomalies above this resolution.
General Information
- FTLWiki - PCGamingWiki's FTL wiki.
- Official Forum - most active community.
- r/ftlgame - subreddit.

Availability
Game Data
Save Game Location
The file prof.sav contains unlocked ships and game preferences.
The file continue.sav is generated when pressing 'Save & Quit'.
- No save file is generated if pressing only 'Quit'.
- If one dies or wins the game, the file is automatically deleted as is standard in roguelike games.
Quicksaving
- It is possible to 'quick save' by saving and quitting, and then making manual backup copies of the
continue.savfile, and restoring them when one dies. - This is considered cheating by most players and may spoil enjoyment of the game. It goes against the intentions of the developer's desire for the player to experience permanent death, a standard feature of many roguelike games.
Cloud Syncing

Video Settings
Widescreen Resolution
- The game is very restrictive in only rendering in 1280x720. Screens with lower resolution than this, such as 1024x768 cannot play the game.[2] Note: a recent patch, added experimental support for smaller resolutions, provided the graphics card is modern enough.
Borderless Fullscreen Windowed

Video settings: black bar running on the side whilst using Borderless Windowed.
- Working using Borderless Windowed application. However, a black bar renders on the right hand side.
System Requirements
- Some integrated Intel HD graphics cards have been known to work but are not officially supported.
