Just got out of a meeting with the Homeworld team. The first update that focuses mainly on fixing crashes, launcher issues, and adding compatibility notifications looks to be on pace to land late this week or early next week.
Keep in mind that this is still a bit early and in testing, so there is still the possibility that this patch gets pushed back. We'll keep you updated on details and update notes as soon as everything is locked in.
The intent here is to address a bunch of the larger-scale issues that prevent folks from enjoying the game before the team moves on to things like trickier bugs, mod tools, balance and quality of life changes.
