Patch Notes: Version 1.0.6.01 - 08/24/2026

•Demo

  • Added a demo to the Steam Store Page.
  • The demo includes the tutorial and 6 different preset clients for a curated look at what The Chaser's Voyage has to offer.
  • The Chaser, Proto-Chaser, and Neo-Chaser insignias are all unlocked in the demo, but the other Insignias are locked.
  • The Flight Simulator and Records are unavailable in the demo.
  • Some Crew Journal entries are unlocked in the demo, but the other entries are locked.

• Pirates:

  • Pirate's special cargo dialogue now also plays when the player is carrying a Imperial or UGS Smuggler, same as when they have a Supply Officer or Merchant.

• Bug Fixes:

  • The timer for when a pirate can be communicated with now can be any time between 5 and 8 seconds, instead of just being 5, 6, or 7 seconds.
  • The distance bar formatting for the tutorial's capital ship & bounty hunter now match the main game's formatting.
  • Removed redundant instances of color coding in client stories.
  • The back button on a gamepad now correctly exits the options menu that is opened via the Voyager mode death notice.
  • The Chaser's hull value is now properly saved when saving and quitting on a client planet.
  • The Voyager Options button in Options now correctly has the selector on when the button is disabled while in Captain Mode.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause some encounters to seemingly pause if they were the next encounter after a player jumped away from a bounty hunter who chased them off a dock before the hunter could talk.
