Running Vega Strike from the Command Line

Vega Strike takes a single command parameter indicating which mission it should load 

.\vegastrike mission/explore_universe.mission

is an example of a valid mission call.

The -j flag (must be flush with the system) will force a player to begin in a star system. 

.\vegastrike -jvega_sector/vega mission/n_vs_n/confed/confed_2v2.mission

will force the 2v2 mission to run in the vega sector.

Running Vega Strike In GNU/Linux

  • Run vslauncher from the terminal
  • Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select [OPTIONS], and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Config.
  • to begin play, click on [New Game].
  • Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
  • Click [OK] and Vega Strike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

Running Vega Strike In Mandrake GNU/Linux

  • Run vegastrike from the terminal (Many thanks to Peroyvind Karlsen for the rpm packaging).
  • Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select [OPTIONS], and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Config.
  • to begin play, click on [New Game].
  • Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
  • Click [OK] and Vega Strike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

Running Vega Strike For Mac to be updated

  • Drag Vega Strike.app to the Applications directory.
  • Double Click on Vega Strike.app

Running Vega Strike In Windows

Recommendation: Make sure you have the most recent nVidia drivers. Old nvidia drivers cause problems with display lists and compiled vertex arrays!

  • On installation, you need to select the Launcher.exe program. Do so either by viewing the file in the appropriate directory, or from the Start Menu. Select and start Launcher program.
  • Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select [Game Settings], and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Configuration.
  • To begin play, click on [New Game].
  • Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
  • Click [OK] and Vega Strike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

The default mission (explore_universe) is recommended for an introduction to the Vega Strike trading universe. To get the default mission you need not select a mission initially.

Also, you can sometimes "drag and drop" the mission that you want onto vegastrike (not the launcher, but the vegastrike.exe itself.)
