Hello!
We released a patch last night that should fix the issues players were experiencing with the Visual C++ runtime. Even if your PC is unable to install the Visual C++ runtime, you should be able to launch and play Starbound just fine now. Yaaay! :D
Kyren is also working on a set of rendering performance improvements for a new hotfix that should be ready soon – we’ll let you know!
Healthire has been reworking generated weapons. They’re not in this stable update, but take a look!
