Updating

Simply replace Hyperspace.dll (and any other DLLs included in the hyperspace ZIP) with the new one in your FTL installation directory. Updating the Hyperspace.dll is crucial for Multiverse updates as they always build for the latest hyperspace.

Patch the new Hyperspace.ftl with slipstream if you are using a mod that requires it (do not patch Hyperspace.ftl for Multiverse)

First time Installs

Hyperspace only works with FTL 1.6.9, the following will guide you on both installation & downgrading for your install of FTL depending on where you bought FTL from:

What FTL installation do you have?

• Steam
• GoG
• Humble Bundle
• Epic Games
• Origin
• Microsoft Store/Xbox Game Pass

Troubleshooting

My game complains about -opengl

• Stop using -opengl flag, it was removed in Hyperspace 1.5.0 and is no longer needed

My game crashes before loading Multiverse

• Ensure you’re on the latest version of Hyperspace, the Multiverse installer is frequently not up to date!
• This problem should be pretty much eliminated unless your save file is corrupt but there are some instances where this can still occur on laptops only
• If you’re not using a laptop, your save file is corrupt and that’s why it’s not launching, see below.
• If your laptop does not have dedicated graphics (i.e. AMD or Nvidia GPU, not the one built into the CPU) then your save file is corrupt and that’s the problem.
• If your laptop DOES actually have a dedicated GPU, you may need to force FTL to run on either the dedicated or internal GPU, one of them might be causing you a problem.

My game hangs on loading the last E in multiverse

• You have a corrupt save file

My game hangs on loading but doesn’t crash and I hear music

• You have a corrupt save file

Resolving a corrupt save file

To potentially fix a corrupted save:

1. Go to Documents/My Games/FasterThanLight, you should have a hs_mv_prof.sav and hs_mv_version.sav
2. Delete the hs_mv_version.sav
3. Move the hs_mv_prof.sav to another folder (do not delete it)
4. Run the game and once it loads to the main menu close it again
5. Move your original hs_mv_prof.sav back where it was before, replacing the one that was created by the game
