[Talad]

After only one month from the previous release, here is another one for you to test and enjoy! We are still in Alpha, and lot still to do, but with your support and our passion, we can do it! Version 0.7.9 is now available.

This release is open to all Patreons and to all veteran players of the previous game (200+ hours of gameplay). Thanks to all the ones who are supporting us and cheering for us! Your support is very welcome and is actually what makes us continue in this incredible journey through the years.

All three platforms are available: Windows, Linux and Mac. Mac is currently building, should be ready by tomorrow.

All the bugs are tracked on our Flyspray, where you can register and add your findings. You can report crashes and other in game bugs. You will also probably find many missing features comparing this version to the original version of the game. On these ones please do not report yet in Flyspray, we are aware of what is missing and will be added in future releases.
If you are a Patreon you will find the download link on the website directly, if you are a veteran player contact us on Discord to get access.

That is an amazing screenshot, being able to see the whole of Hydlaa at once is awesome! The greatest thing about PS Unreal is the unified map, gives you both a sense of perspective and helps you appreciate how large the terrain really is! Can't wait to check this out, thanks for the great work!

Yes, I really love how the world all as one. 

The 0.7.8 client also updated to the 0.7.9 without a glitch.

Unfortunately I usually get a "connection timed out" message. Either before being shown the character selection dialog or shortly thereafter.

Hello everyone!
Happy to see Planeshift reborn with this new engine. I'd be glad to join you. The problem is a Discord link (https://discord.gg/f9y6TFjvnf) refuses to accept the invitation. I hope it's a temporary issue, so I'll try later. Just by chance whether it's a matter of limitation? See you later in Hydlaa.
