| Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak 1.4.1 Update | 2023-08-29 | When we launched Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak’s 1.4 Update Preview, it was our intention to give modders an opportunity to update their work prior to 1.4 going live.

Reporting of these issues by the community has helped us immensely, informing key fixes for this 1.4.1 update: Fixed issue where certain characters in Lobby names would make the player list appear bugged Fixed issue where players could join a full Lobby right before game start, crashing the |

| Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak 1.4 Update Preview | 2023-08-17 | Today, we’re releasing a new beta branch for the Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak 1.4 Update on Steam. This beta branch serves as a preview for a game update that will be released to all players next week, August 24, 2023 at 11am ET. Why are we releasing this beta patch? Last month, we released a similar update for Homeworld Remastered Collection that was designed, in part, to allow for cross-platform multiplayer between Steam users and Epic Games Store users. What we learned is that pushing a patch like that to all players suddenly did not create an ideal user experience: It broke mods and we also uncovered some new issues that, quite frankly, w |
