Launchers, if you don't have one already:
All platforms: For every day use, we recommend Knossos (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=94068.0), an integrated solution for downloading and launching mods.

Hidden Text: Alternative Launchers • Show

Cross-platform: wxLauncher 0.12.x Test Build (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=89162) (ongoing project for a unified launcher, you should upgrade to the latest RC/test build if you have not yet)
Important: For best compatibility with FSO 3.8 and later you should use at least wxLauncher 0.12.

Windows:  Launcher 5.5g (http://scp.fsmods.net/files/Launcher55g.zip) (Mirror (http://scp.indiegames.us/builds/Launcher55g.zip)) (Mirror (http://www.mediafire.com/?wdvzn7hhhzh418m)) Not compatible with Windows 8+, use wxLauncher above

What are those SSE, SSE2 and AVX builds I keep seeing everywhere?
Your answer is in this topic. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=65628.0)
Don't want to deal with that? Use Knossos (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=94068.0) and it will download the best build specifically for your PC!

fs2_open_20_1_0_RC1-builds-Linux.tar.gz (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/releases/download/release_20_1_0_RC1/fs2_open_20_1_0_RC1-builds-Linux.tar.gz)

These builds use a mechanism called AppImage (http://appimage.org/) which should allow these builds to run on most Linux distributions. However, we recommend that you compile your own builds which will result in less issues.
Alternatively, if there is a package in your software repository then you should use that. If you are the maintainer of such a package for a distribution then let us know and we will include that here.


(http://scp.indiegames.us/img/mac-icon.png) OS X
Not available We recently lost access to our Mac CI environment which we usually used for compiling these builds so for the time being, there will be no builds for this OS.

An external DLL is required for FSO to use TrackIR functions.  The following DLL is simply unpacked in to your main FreeSpace2 root dir.

I really have to admit I'm happy to see a RC coming out. Setting it as default build right now. Great work!  :yes:

Crash log here (https://fsnebula.org/log/5febf199bc2bea6bba5a5665).

Loading the mission in a debug build also throws this error:

Warning: Duplicate docking bay name 'front docking bay' found on model 'SuperCap2S-01.pof'!
