Thank you again for all of your feedback, everyone! We've made several improvements to Hypergate in this latest Support Update. Support for UTF-8 Usernames Some of you have fancy Steam personas with special characters!

Improved Resolution Support For those of you who like an extra-immersive experience, we've added support for the following monitor resolutions: 2560 x 1080 (21:9) 3440 x 1440 (43:18, Ultrawide QHD) 3840 x 1080 (32:9, Super Ultrawide) 3840 x 2160 (16:9, 4K Ultra HD) 5120 x 1440 (32:9, Super Ultrawide) 5120 x 2160 (21:9, Ultrawide 5K) Note that since we don't have any monitors of these resolutions handy, they haven't been specifically t…

- Support Update #1 Released! - 5 January 2019
A big thank-you to our reviewers and Curators, who have provided valuable feedback! We've listened to you, and have added many of your suggested features. These include: Mouse Support Fly around using the mouse, and bind your favourite commands to various mouse buttons as you please. You'll need to select the "Enable mouse piloting" checkbox in the Controls Menu to fly with the mouse. Free-roll Flight The NIA has learned how to manufacture spaceships that can roll! It's been a struggle, but they figured it out. You'll need to select the "Enable free roll" checkbox in the Controls Menu to turn on rolling, and this will also turn off the auto-leveling feature. More Dynamic Cockpit The in-cockpit joystick now moves with your inputs, the windshield cracks when you take too much damage, and you can even activate windshield wipers (we're serious). Have fun! Improved Controller Support Apparen…
