Venture the Void 1.5.0 - How to keep your saved games

This update is a shader compatibility test.

It replaces the OpenGL 1.2 fixed-pipeline renderer for the starfield with an OpenGL 2.x shader-based one.

I would love to know:

• Does the game run for you?
• Do the stars look the same as earlier versions?
• If no to either of the above, can you describe/take screenshots?

You need to do a small file copy to migrate your save games:

1. Start the game normally
2. Exit immediately
3. Go to /Users/(Your name here)/AppData/Local/Venture the Void/
4. From the sub-folder 6700/, copy savegame/, config.info, and config_ogm.info into 6701/ (which should now exist)
5. DON'T copy the world.*/ or diskman.info files
6. Start the game again, you should have your saved games

Sorry about that! I had to change an internal data structure and it resulted in any existing cached data files crashing the game. This was the best reasonable solution.

Happy Spacefaring,
