Issues unresolved

Late game slowdown and stuttering on large maps

Severe slowdown on larger maps as the game progresses. Much improved from StarDrive beta.

Minimap camera movement activated when selecting units

When clicking and dragging with the left mouse button over the minimap the camera will move as if you were moving the camera with the minimap.

All interface sounds come out of the right audio channel

All sounds generated by the user interface (for example, moving the cursor over a button) will come out of the right speaker only.

Pre-order customers not receiving final game

Many users who pre-ordered StarDrive have not received the final copy of the game on Steam and are only to download and play the pre-release version.

Issues fixed

Cursor not bound to primary monitor

Cursor Lock utility[citation needed]
Install Cursor Lock Create a user mode lock shortcut with a hotkey of your choice. Launch Cursor Lock through the shortcut. Start the game and press your hotkey.
