Guild Software has published details about a new double update for their popular Vendetta Online science-fiction massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS operating systems.

According to the release notes, the Vendetta Online 1.8.343-344 update is here to add better anti-aliasing support for various Intel GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), to add gamma correction and anti-aliasing support for the OpenGL 4 driver on the Mac OS X platform, as well as to bring new station designs for Sol II H-13.

Furthermore, there are performance improvements in the Windows version of Vendetta Online, and it is now possible to manually set the screen rotation on Android platforms via three new options (Landscape, Sensor Landscape, and Reverse Landscape) added to Advanced -> Controls -> Input.

The Vendetta Online 1.8.343-344 update includes optimizations for multi-threaded rendering, which has been enabled by default on both OpenGL 4 and DirectX 11 versions of the game. Please note that you will have to restart the game when switching those drivers, and it is possible to disable multi-threaded rendering by adding multithreaded=0 in the [Vendetta] section of the config.ini file.

"We also have quite a bit of server-side work going on in the background as well, along with some interesting new gameplay scenery and content. Next week we may start to reveal some of these enhancements, as well as prepare for some significant server migrations, to increase game capacity and performance," reads the announcement.

Vendetta Online 1.9 is coming soon

Among the bugs that have been addressed for Vendetta Online 1.8 in the 343-344 double update, we can mention occasional sector crashes, rare issues with /vote mute, an issue with joystick input for Microsoft Windows platforms, as well as a problem with the mouse cursor on Mac OS X platforms.

Last but not least, there are a couple of improvements to NPCs, such as support for targeting and attacking PC capships using primary weapons, and the need for more collision damage when considering the attacker a threat. Various infrastructural improvements have been made as well, which will lead up to the next major version of the game, Vendetta Online 1.9.
