It's been five years to the day since SpaceEngine was released on Steam. We're celebrating this milestone with the addition of a high-resolution screenshot tool, letting you capture the universe in greater detail than ever before!
We've put together a blog post with a how-to for the new tool, as well as a retrospective of our development! Check it out here: https://spaceengine.org/news/blog240611/
We're also expecting some bugs with this Beta, so be sure to report any you find in the Troubleshooting and Bug Reports Discussion tab on Steam or #bug-reports on the official Discord! (Remember to include as much detail as possible!)
Changelog
- Added high-resolution screenshot tool (See linked blog post for a how-to!)
- Improved integration of Settings and Tools windows with the main menu
- Updated exoplanet and host star catalog
- Updated binary asteroid catalog
- Improved the appearance of Eris and Sedna (for real this time!)
- Miscellaneous catalog fixes, such as the distance to galaxy and black hole S5 0836+71
- Added button to video capture dialog to open the output folder
- Added missing gamma correction to several tone mapping options
- Added new tone mapping options: AgX Punchy, Reinhard SE, Rec 709, and sRGB -Rec 709 and sRGB are mainly for reference, they are not designed for HDR content and clip harshly with bright pixel values; manual exposure adjustment recommended for best results.
- Fixes some settings not saving while in the main menu
