About Ur-Quan Masters
The Ur-Quan Masters is an open source project that originated in August 2002. It all started when Toys For Bob released the partially ported sources of the space strategy/action game Star Control II for 3DO, which paved the way for the creation of a freeware clone of the game.
The Ur-Quan Masters brought enhancements from the 3DO version, including upgraded graphics and full voice acting, to platforms that previously lacked these features. It also introduced mod support and online multiplayer combat, neither of which were supported in the original games.
Controllers
- The game is configured to use Joycon 1 and Joycon 2 by default, so it should be playable out of the box.
- You can adjust the controls in the settings, in
./content/*.keyand./config/flight.cfg.
Screenshots
Known issues
- The game occasionally crashes on start.
- When using the HD content, most settings screens in the main menu become almost unusable because of lagging.
- Same thing happens occasionally during dialogue sequences (so far only happened once).
- The rest of the game plays perfectly well.
- Seems like a threading issue.
