Hi everyone!

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your experience, we’ll be retiring our Legacy Launcher on October 1st, 2024. It’s been an incredible journey with the Legacy Launcher, but now it’s time to bring everyone together on the new and improved RSI Launcher 2.0.

Many of you are already familiar with and actively using Launcher 2.0, which we debuted about five months ago. To ensure you’re benefiting from all the latest features and improvements, if you haven't yet, we encourage you to make the switch to RSI Launcher 2.0 before the Legacy Launcher is phased out.

[Follow the link below to learn more about RSI Launcher 2.0.] https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19818-Introducing-The-RSI-Launcher-20

If you encounter any issues swapping over, don’t fret! Please take advantage of the Issue Council to submit a ticket, and make sure to include your logs (found under Application settings - “GET LOGS”). Our team is committed and ready to resolve any problems you might face. And over the next month, we’ll be closely monitoring your feedback to ensure the transition to the new Launcher goes as smoothly as possible.

As always, thank you for your continued support! We can’t wait for you to experience all the exciting new features coming with the RSI Launcher 2.0. Happy exploring, and we’ll see you in the 'verse!

Thanks I didn't realize they moved to 2.0 I don't think I upgraded.

It's been in public testing for a few months now, just wasn't ready for full on migration (there's still an issue with 2 factor authentication not sticking for some users for example). Seems they finally deemed it ready for prime time.

There was no need. The legacy launcher worked fine. I tried to install the new launcher but it was hidden behind "waves".

But the idiots made it so, that you could download + install - it just refuses to work. Never bothered again after this shit idea.

We don't have a choice now, I guess.

[–] Korinthenkacker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's true.

Hopefully the sheeps will have made it working like the legacy one by finding lots of bugs.

Uh oh… hope that one works better on Linux.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funny you say that... I haven't used it myself yet but apparently it has an issue creating folders for the game files when used through WINE. They promise they'll make it ready before the October deadline but you know how CIG is.

The good news is folks from LUG offered to help with identifying Linux related issues so maybe things will work out decent enough.

The SC LUG just rocks 🤘

I have Radeon 6800XT will this run with Linux? Would be more than happy to leave windows behind.

I have a bootable Linux VM but never used it (well it is a gaming rig :D ). What is the process of running SC on linux?

[–] bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Basically get Lutris and running the LUG-Helper: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

Alas "VM" and "performance" don't fit together.

Visuals over usability, that's CIG in the nutshell.
