Hi - in this latest update I've attempted to better detect and handle running on PC's with 8gb and less.
- Previously the game could use ~2gb of memory when running. Now it's around ~500mb when on a PC with 8gb or less, a 4x saving. This also should improve the frame rate.
- A log I received from a player experiencing the 'black screen' issue indicated it could be related to running very low on available memory. Hopefully this update will fix this.
- Thanks for reading!

Hope you all had a great Holiday. This update has some minor tweaks:
- Detection of vJoy to fix odd menu bug. You'll need to use mouse/keyboard in menus, but vJoy should continue to work in-game.
- Added a hard limit to how far away Scouts can be (speculatively to see if this helps anyone who is having them spawn really far away - they should all really be reasonably close).
- Debug logging added to try to identify Scout spawning bug.
- Debug logging added to try to isolate reason for any instances of black screen on going into game.
- Reduced the default mouse sensitivity setting, so it's not quite so twitchy (you can change it back in the menu's and it won't effect a current install, only new installs).

After 2 and a half years of weekends and evenings, I'm delighted to finally release Startfighter Renegade.
Can you be the last line of defence against the Alien forces and stop them spreading their deadly virus? Can you rescue the Friendlies, before the Alien Collectors swoop them away. Can you destroy huge destroyers before they destroy you?
Let's find out.
