Your wingmen fly smarter, co-op holds together better, and The Way is easier to find your way around. Vortex 1.5.0 build 7 is live in your browser and in the macOS, Windows and Linux downloads.
What’s new
- Smoother wingmen: bot pilots fly steadier, dodge smarter and look after the crew.
- Steadier co-op: online runs stay in step, and reconnecting and saved runs are more reliable.
- Join any time: hop into a crew already in flight and see every ship, yours included.
- A clearer path through The Way: a new hub takes you straight to each part of your build, with prompts that match how you play: keyboard, controller or touch.
Boss adjustments
- Guardians build to a climax: each chapter’s guardians grow tougher the closer you get to its final boss.
- Thalok stands his ground: he is now as sturdy as the other guardians, so he no longer goes down in a flash.
- Bigger boss music: the soundtrack swells under each boss warning and comes forward during the fight.

Playing together
