• Patch 1.1.2 - Memory Leak fixes, Flight Plan Mode, Lunar Module - 14 September 2026

  This patch focuses on the runtime memory management and memory leak fixes. It also continues to iterate on the entire "Flight Plan Mode" system where I try to slowly tune and implement ways of allowing you to fly closer and closer to the real mission trajectories in specialized mission scenarios. It also rolls out multiple fixes to checklists. With regards to systems it focuses quite heavily on the Lunar Module and the Lunar Landing, an area that I really want to improve.Note: You can always revert to a previous version via the Steam Betas tab if needed. The latest previous version is: 1.1.1. The rollback option is there to ensure smooth user experience in case something does not behave as expected.Memory Leak FixesFor the last few weeks I have been diving deep into some of the older section of this project, some of them corners I have not visited for many years, and tried to identify s…

• Patch 1.1.1 - Summer Fixes & Improvements - 18 August 2026

  I hope you’ve all been doing well! I’m back from my summer vacation, and this patch rolls out fixes and improvements based on reports received over the summer. Note: You can always revert to a previous version via the Steam Betas tab if needed. The latest previous version is: 1.1.0. The rollback option is there to ensure smooth user experience in case something does not behave as expected.Lunar Module Landing RadarThe landing radar has had a bug that leads to blocking issues during particular maneuvers (rare) or if used incorrectly (such as leaving it off during lunar landing). The issues seen here could be random teleports to the lunar landing surface after DPS shutdown, or strange issues during descent and landing. This issue is now corrected with a larger logic re-write, so please let me know if you experience new issues during lunar landings and lunar module ops. The landing radar i…

• Patch 1.1.0 - VR, Bug Fixes, Development Phase Change - 3 June 2026

  Reentry has been patched to version 1.1! With the 1.0 launch behind us and many of the major launch issues addressed, development is now gradually shifting back to normal. This means continued improvements and bug fixes for existing content, while also dedicating time to new features and future additions to the simulator.The 1.1 update serves primarily as a soft transition into this new development phase. As outlined in the roadmap, the main focus between versions 1.0 and 1.1 was the release/post-launch crashes, issues, fixes and improvements to the 1.0 scope, and Virtual Reality related tasks.The 1.1.0 update marks this transition while also introducing the first test version of a more complete end-to-end VR solution, updates to the Lunar Rover navigation systems, alongside a collection of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to the existing 1.0 content.Note: You can always rever…

• Patch 1.0.84 - Mercury "Game Over's", Apollo fixes, bug fixes - 4 May 2026

  Hello virtual astronauts! After a long month of administrative and tax related tasks I am back to finally be able to fully focus on development again. The game will transition to version 1.1 very soon but before doing so I wanted to roll out a smaller patch with some fixes. Please recall that the 1.0 -> 1.1 transition will not contain any major new features as this is the transition from working in a reactive state, fixing the 1.0 issues and bugs, to starting the 1.1 working blocks. See the in-game Roadmap for details.You can always revert to a previous version via the Steam Betas tab if needed. The latest previous version is: 1.0.51. The rollback option is there to ensure smooth user experience in case something does not behave as expected.Mercury "Game Over" fixesThis update fixes an issue with the Mercury oxygen and suffocation logic.

• Patch 1.0.51 - CM Housekeeping lesson, GDC Align, CO2, bug fixes + 1.0.54 hotfix - 12 March 2026

  This patch rolls out a new Apollo Command Module lesson designed to teach you the most important housekeeping procedures required during full length Apollo missions. It also aims to improve the current FDAI ball drive logic used during a GDC align logic and a LM coarse align logic. It also improves the CO2 absorber logic, updates various checklists and typos, and refines the CM battery charger.Update: Version 1.0.54 was rolled out as a minor hotfix for some additional logic related to the Attitude Indicator Alignment drive logic.You can always revert to a previous version via the Steam Betas tab if needed.

• Patch 1.0.42 - Content and Bug Fixes, CM Battery Charger - 26 February 2026

  After a week-long winter break, development now continues toward the upcoming 1.1 phase. I will soon share a dedicated post outlining what players can expect from this next stage.This minor update focuses on improving overall usability and addressing issues reported by the community following the recent physics update. Several mission typos have been corrected, along with small mission flow adjustments and checklist updates aimed at making procedures clearer and easier to follow during gameplay.One important fix resolves an issue where incorrect use of P52 could cause the spacecraft to teleport to another location, most commonly during the Command Module entry phase. This behavior was caused by invalid data being passed into the physics system, leading to calculation instability.Additionally, an issue with the Command Module battery charger has been fixed. Previously, instruments could…

• Reentry has been updated to 1.0.41 - Gravity Engine version update - 9 February 2026

  For the past few weeks I have been working on a major physics upgrade, updating Lyra Engine and Gravity Engine to their latest versions. This has been a demanding process with a lot of moving parts, and almost everything related to orbital mechanics has been affected in one way or another. A significant amount of functionality has been re-implemented, and several post-migration issues discovered during testing have been resolved.The goal of this upgrade is first and foremost to improve overall stability and reliability of the physics engine. It brings in important bug fixes from the latest engine versions and lays the foundation for more advanced physics, trajectory calculations and orbital mechanics as we move toward version 1.1. In short, this update is about making Reentry more robust and opening up for more features for orbital maneuvering.This has been a costly upgrade in terms of…

At this point, these types of reports are slowing down a bit. I will continue to remain in this phase for a few more patches before shiftin…

• Patch 1.0.14 - Hot Fix: Time Scale fixes - 22 November 2025

  After correcting an issue with the Save States in the previous patch, another emerged where some players have had trouble using the time scale feature after loading from a previous state, or during free-play missions. This hot fix should fix the issue.Thanks to all for reporting!

• Reentry has been updated to 1.0.12 - Landing Time Scale, Gemini EVA, Save States - 21 November 2025

One of the key areas yet to support time scale is during landing. Unlike ascent, you do…

• Patch 1.0.8 - Hot Fix: Mercury F2 dev-camera reference removed - 15 November 2025

  Hot Fix: The reference for the Mercury F2 dev-tool cameras used to create some scenes for the launch trailers has been removed. Calling it would cause a recursive stack overflow exception as some of these dev-tool cameras was missing. This would lead to a CTD. I plan to re-introduce these cameras with some additional orbiting cameras in a later patch.Thanks for reporting, as this is a crash that can ruin a long mission flow by accident I wanted to roll out a hot fix for this to correct the behavior as fast as possible.Note: If this patch causes new issues for you, please report them.

• Super-realistic space sim Reentry is finally finished after ten years, and it'll put your flight skills to the ultimate test - 9 November 2025

  Sometimes games allow us to fulfill our wildest fantasies in much more convenient and simplified ways. Hopping between planets in Starfield, No Man's Sky, or even Star Citizen is markedly easier than becoming a real-life astronaut.

Seven years after it first launched, developer Lyra Creative has just put the 1.0 marker on its NASA-inspired space game Reentry , and it'll put you through your paces like no other.
