Space battle debris, on Meta Quest

Vendetta Online has been Free To Play, without level caps, across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, since August 2020. Download Today.

List of Upcoming Events:

• Sun at 2:45pm CDT - Nation War
• Mon at 8pm CDT - Starship Defense
• Weds at 6pm CDT - Drone Conflict
• Thurs at 4pm CDT - Tube Racing

The first-generation Oculus Quest VR device is slated to be deprecated from Meta's app store system on May 1st.

Vendetta Online, however, intends to continue independently supporting the Quest 1 for some time to come (along with the more recent devices).

Our infrastructure is separate from Meta, so this is feasible as long as you are able to get the game installed onto the device.

To help promote this goal among our existing players, we're giving away Five Hundred Keys (the most Meta will allow), which are redeemable for the Quest version of the Vendetta Online, and usable on any Quest device (Quest 1, 2, 3, 3s, Pro, etc).

To obtain a key, simply log into your account on our website, www.vendetta-online.com, and then click on "Account Info" on the left side. If keys are still available, you'll see a "Claim Quest App Key" button, which will give you a key.

Only pre-existing accounts, created before April 15th of this year, will have access to the free Quest Keys. This is intended for people who followed us through the Rift, GearVR and Go versions, and had missed the Quest version due to its tortured release process (caused by Meta, not us).

Your account name is {userid}, and you can recover your password using the "Forgot Password" button on the main website login page.

All Quest Keys must be applied by July 1st, or they will expire. Please don't horde or re-sell the keys, the intent is to get them to as many people as possible.

Redeeming Keys can be done in the Meta Horizon app or Meta website.

Quest 1 users should try installing the game from the Meta Horizon app on their phone, as Meta has seemingly already broken much of the on-device store this past week.

Redeeming the key in the Meta Horizon app should make it available for installation. But, if you need to search in the Meta app, you may need to use the full length name Vendetta Online.

To convey our appreciation to people who already bought the Quest version for their own devices: Your game accounts have been automatically granted two months of Premium Subscription time (a $20 value), which is active now.

New Event Missions are now online, on the schedule below. Some of these may occasionally include valuable drops.

• "Bractus Corporate Exercise"
  - Daily at 1am, 9am and 5pm UTC
• "Flock in Helios"
  - Daily at 3am, 11am and 7pm UTC
• "Tears in Odia"
  - Daily at 5am, 1pm and 9pm UTC
• "Tears in Odia Behemoth side pirates"
  - (dependent fork of the above mission).
• "Random NPC Ace"
  - Bractus, randomized intervals.

Additionally we should probably clarify the announcement from the last newsletter..

Dynamic gameplay and events of various types are not "new" to Vendetta Online. They've been in the game for decades. What the new "Persistent Event Mission" system adds is the ability for this content to be built, tested, and rolled out much more quickly. Previous gameplay of this kind was custom-written from scratch, while the new system uses our Mission Editor (available to PCC players) and greatly simplifies the process.

The Quest version is also debuting the first version of a new prototype Game Launcher, a completely new re-write of the original. It will be released onto other platforms in due course.

Multi-core support has been added, with significant threading, and along with prior compression optimizations is making for much better performance. This is an important technical step towards our expansion plans.

We hope to include a variety of new features in the Launcher, which will be announced as those get closer to reality.

Here's a distillation of some changes since the last newsletter:

• Updated German, Spanish, Ukrainian and Russian translations.

• 2D box selection around group members on the HUD is now yellow for easier visibility.

• Fixed issue with remote capship powercells becoming discharged when undocking from commanding the capship.

• Fixed issue with missing localized characters not rendering properly.

• Refactored shader loading code to reduce ANRs on Android.

• Fixed various Lua errors.

• Improved Persistent Events to support localization of private messages from NPCs.

• PCC missions now choose a sector that is already in use, if no empty sector can be found.

• Lots of other fixes and stability improvements across all platforms.
