Join us Saturday July 25th to relive some classic CTF. Stop by at 1 PM EST for some pub matches with event hosting starting at 3 PM EST. We will be hosting at LEAST until 6 PM EST, but hopefully longer!

We hope to run this every 3rd Saturday of the month. Like and comment if you want to see more.

SVS Premier League, entering its 47th season, is the oldest league in Subspace and uses the original VIE settings. Founded in 1996, the league has been the proving ground for top-level 4v4 game play.

Registration is now open to join the second iteration of Draft League. Draft League is an opportunity for new players, or old players desiring a return, to play on balanced teams with some of the league's top pilots. Sign up now and join the most competitive and challenging Subspace matches available.

Matches take place in Chaos/League Zone

Registration closes on July 31st, 2020 @ 7pm EST.

You can register to join here[docs.google.com]

It's the Summer of Subspace! Time to compete in Trench Wars Draft Tournament Summer 2020. $1000 in cash prizes given to multiple players in different categories (not just TW vets).

The live draft will take place on Sunday, July 19th and will be covered live on Twitch.tv with commentary. If you miss the draft, you can still sign up for Free Agency (2nd round) drafts later on.

10 captains will pick from a huge pool of players (165+) to play in 3 different leagues: basing, WB and Javelin.

If you're not a regular TW player, this is your chance to show TW what you've got, and meanwhile put a little money in your pocket! If you're a diehard TWer who's never played DT, it's time to see why this inclusive league which plays people from all skill levels is one of the best-loved competitive events in the zone, and has gone on to inspire similar draft leagues in other zones.


How to sign up

• Enter TW, ?go twdt and PM TWDTBot with !signup - job done.
  
• OR you can signup in this thread[forums.trenchwars.com].

For more information, visit the TWDT forums[forums.trenchwars.com].

See you at the draft!

Calling all veteran Subspace Continuum players from SVS zones such as Chaos and Pro League. Pro League has wrapped up its 45th season! A new Draft Season is starting this weekend. This is a great chance to get re-acclimated with the league and have an opportunity to be drafted to a team. Every player that signs up gets drafted. You will recognize a lot of old names who still play and maybe rekindle old relationships.

More information can be found on the official forums: http://forum.svssubspace.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=39

Or join the Pro League Discord: https://discord.gg/HjuTSAP

Hope to see you there!

Hi everyone, qan here.

A recent unforeseen problem caused all Subspace Continuum personal data in the Steam release to be overwritten by the recent update.

We have since fixed this issue. If you are updating and run the game now, your data should be saved.

However, if you updated in the last 12-18 hours and then ran the game, your profiles, key configs, macros, zones, and custom graphics and sounds may have been overwritten. To those of you who this has already happened to, I'm really sorry. I know how frustrated you must be.

If you updated in that time, but haven't run the game yet, there is a fix! All of your profile data is still stored.

• Click on Library
  
• Right-click Subspace Continuum
  
• Click Properties
  
• Click Browse Local Game files
  
• Copy the following files to another folder, for example to your desktop. (You can select them by holding shift and clicking, then press ctrl+C to copy. Click in a new place and press Ctrl+V to paste.)
  
• - profile.bak
  
• - zone.bak
  
• - keyboard.bak
  
• - macro.bak
  
• Rename these files from .bak to .dat. So: profile.dat -> profile.bak, zone.bak -> zone.dat, keyboard.bak -> keyboard.dat, macro.bak -> macro.dat
  
• Copy the renamed .dat files back to your Steam folder to restore your data. Overwrite any existing files.
  
• Launch the game normally.

Unfortunately, any custom graphics, sounds and banners you had set can not be recovered if the game updated during this short window of time.

The issue is related to the development of a new out-of-the-box method to run the game on Linux. If there can be any consolation for your data being overwritten, it's that this will now allow more users to play the game. We'll be releasing more info on the Linux release soon. Linux users may be pleasantly surprised to note they can now run the game out of the box by simply clicking install and run if they have Wine 5.5 or newer installed. We are also working on better Mac support.

Sorry again to anyone who this affected. Please contact me in-game (qan) or leave a message below if you still have issues and/or need help troubleshooting.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
-qan and the rest of the Steam development team




UPDATE:
If your profile.dat file was overwritten and you can't access your account, your passwords are still saved in the registry. You can manually edit your profile.dat file in a text editor and point at these passwords.

Simply add an rpassword field and set it equal to #0, #1, #2, #3, etc. The number corresponds with the number of the encrypted password stored in your Windows registry.

To use old stored passwords, right click profile.dat, choose Open with... and choose a text editor such as notepad. You should see something like this:


Add a line called rpassword = #0. If your main user name was the first profile (top of the list), its password is stored in #0. Be sure to use the correct number of spaces.


This will point to your old stored passwords. You can also type regedit, and click HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Continuum -> Passwords. Right click on Passwords and select export to save a copy before you experiment.

I can help in-game in TW or on Discord if you are having trouble recovering passwords from the registry.

Hi! Are you a zone sysop? Do you want your leagues and events featured on Steam? Contact qan in-game or on Discord about getting your Steam publishing account set up.

You may have noticed that TW, Chaos and EG experienced about a week of downtime recently. We apologize for the outage. A rather unexpected turn of events forced a sudden change of servers. We're happy to say that all three zones are now back online.

With this change comes an increased level of control for these zones over their files. This means we could see some remarkable new developments. Both EG and Trench Wars are contemplating a move to A Small Subspace Server, which allows for a wide variety of new and exciting features!

To reconnect to these zones, you may need to refresh your zone list. Click ZONES at the top, then Download, and make sure SSCU Trench Wars, SSCXX Chaos/League Zone SVS and SSCU Extreme Games are all bolded.

On another note, sincere apologies for the lack of updates here. As you know, this game is entirely player-managed and player-funded. Those who maintain it do so on a 100% volunteer basis, and most work full time jobs in addition to this project of passion. We may not be as consistent as slick for-profit companies, but this community has come together time and time again to keep this game alive for more than two decades, something that is almost unrivaled in the world of gaming. Every one of us should be proud of our contributions to this unique, deep and endlessly playable gem of a game.

Please join our Discord for regular updates, and to keep in touch with all your old Subspace comrades! https://discord.gg/3W6Cggp You'll be surprised at who you'll run into.

Thanks for your continued support. Have guns and travel Subspace.

If you've always wanted to give Subspace Continuum a shot, or have been looking for the right moment to make your triumphant return, the time is now!


Our all-volunteer team has been working hard to beat compatibility issues and improve accessibility. First-time users will find a vastly-improved experience, including tutorials in all major zones. And long-time vets should be pleasantly surprised with the new coat of paint!

The Steam version now packages too many improvements to count, including HD graphics and sound, a key configuration especially designed for laptops, automatic downloads of all major zone files as they are updated, pre-packaged development tools, optimization for modern systems, and more.


Looking for competition? Join an active league! See each zone for details on available leagues.

TSL (Trench Wars)
TSL is the fastest and easiest way to play a competitive match, for new players and vets alike. Just 'show up and play' most nights of the week. The new matchmaking system ensures a fair balance. Watch your personal player rating evolve over time as you work to beat your personal best!

TWD 2.0 (Trench Wars)
It's the perfect time to join a squad and start competitive dueling and basing. A brand new season of TWD is right around the corner, with phenomenal improvements that will reinvent the way the game is played.

Thanks to everyone who has worked to keep Subspace alive for 20 years, one of the few truly free-to-play games in existence.

Thanks to everyone who continues to play.

And thanks to those who return now and again to find with surprise and a smile that, against all odds, this incredible game lives on.

See you in space!

A series of changes and fixes have been released for the Steam version.

• Banner pack added.
  
• Map/LVZ Editor pack added in Continuum/editors.
  
• Updated the following graphics with HD versions: background images, top-right display, health bar, asteroids, repel, star #7, warp flash.
  
• Big bullets now enabled by default.
  
• Original graphics available in Continuum/graphics/Original Graphics pack
  
• Sounds updated to HD versions (past update).
  
• Lower-quality sounds available in Continuum/sound/Low-fi Soundpack
  
• All zone assets updated to match current zone files.
  
• Installer now links to setup and gameplay video guides.
  
• Removing "Modern" key configuration from installer choices. (Still available in key configuration menu.)
  
• Better-looking desktop icon.
  
• 3D sound off by default.

• Existing registry keys will no longer be overwritten.
  
• Default resolution on high-end machines will max out at 1920x1080.

This brings us very close to being able to start our first Visibility Round on Steam. While a "relaunch" with 500K guaranteed impressions is no longer possible, Visibility Rounds should still give us a way to expose the game to a much larger audience that already has an interest in similar games. We are tentatively planning the first Visibility Round for the end of August.

Thanks for your patience! See you in Subspace.
