Space Station Multiverse now supports keypair authentication! This completely decentralized authentication method will allow you to authenticate yourself with MV Engine servers.

Creating a key is simple, only requiring you enter your desired name and hit continue:

The server browser will show which servers support either key auth and/or guest mode:

(Due to a technical limitation, the bookmarked server page only shows account support info for MV engine based servers. We are able to show this on the server browser page due to an update to the MV Hub.)

It is recommended you back up your key in the new key configuration menu:

MV Engine has been similarly updated to support key auth, as well as includes some new functionality server operators may find useful. See the new MV Engine information[spacestationmultiverse.com] for details.

• Temporarily rolling back Avalonia 11 -> Avalonia 10 due to some issues[github.com] I haven’t been able to figure out properly (notably: server list was crashing for some non-English users)
  
• Ukrainian translation added (thanks Randomm)

Also, we now have a new Discord bot that makes it easier to get a Steam key — now just click a button instead of having to type a command.

The launcher is now multilingual! Use the dropdown box in Options to select your preferred language.

Thanks to Gados for contributing Russian (ru_RU) and DEATHB4DEFEAT for contributing Spanish (es_MX).

I also added machine translations for French, Italian, German, Portuguese Brazil, and Chinese — if you would like to improve these, please check out the translation contribution information page[spacestationmultiverse.com]:

Beside that, there are still a couple missing strings and future improvements to do, but it’s far enough along to share now.


This build also includes a fix for OSX, in case you were having trouble connecting to a server.
