FTL: Hyperspace

Troubleshooting on Windows

Your save folder is Documents\My Games\FasterThanLight.

My game complains about -opengl

Section titled “My game complains about -opengl”

Stop passing the -opengl flag. It was removed in Hyperspace 1.5.0 and is no longer needed.

My game crashes before loading Multiverse

Section titled “My game crashes before loading Multiverse”

Make sure you are on the latest Hyperspace. The Multiverse installer is frequently behind, and this is by far the most common cause.

If you are on a laptop with both integrated and dedicated graphics, try forcing FTL onto one or the other. Otherwise your save file is probably corrupt, see below.

Resolving a corrupt save file

Section titled “Resolving a corrupt save file”

  1. Find your save folder and locate hs_mv_prof.sav and hs_mv_version.sav.

  2. Delete hs_mv_version.sav.

  3. Move hs_mv_prof.sav somewhere else. Do not delete it.

  4. Launch the game, let it reach the main menu, then quit.

  5. Move your original hs_mv_prof.sav back, replacing the one the game just made.

Still stuck? Ask in the Hyperspace channels on the Multiverse Discord.
