Feb 11: 22.1.2 is a small patch to fix an issue that caused the new physics system (NativeComputation) to occasionally fail on launch and revert to the older, slower system (ManagedComputation).

In the image above, the orbit stretching to the bottom left is 2018 VG18, the most distant known object in the Solar System. The orbit shown here is a preliminary estimate; more accurate data will be available only after years of observation.

Update 22.1 is a small update that adds a few new sims in addition to dozens of improvements and bug fixes.

Check out these sims featuring incredibly distant Solar System objects, including the recently announced 2018 VG18, nicknamed “Farout”:

Don’t forget to check out New Horizons’ upcoming flyby of the most distant Solar System object ever visited, scheduled for January 1, 2019:

And here are some highlights from the long list of improvements and fixes:

• Smarter autosaves
• Improvements & fixes for opening, saving, & sharing sims
• Better randomized properties for randomly created objects
• Fixes for issues with frozen fragments & missing orbit previews
• Restored visuals for explosions & fragments

Happy holidays! Stay tuned after the New Year for a recap of this past year and a look at what we’ve got in store for 2019.
