Full Changelog: v0.7.8.1...v0.7.8.2

v0.7.8.1

Fixes v0.7.8 not starting the game (#134). v0.7.8 refused its own offline startup on every PC, so the game closed a moment after it opened and the launcher took the mod out again. This pre-release fixes both causes:

• The mod now confirms the game is offline itself, by reading the Windows Firewall rules the launcher adds for StarCitizen.exe and checking the game has no internet connection open. mod.log shows the result on one [g1] evidence: line; if it can't confirm, the mod refuses to start.
• The game now waits for the mod at start-up, so expect a pause of roughly 15 seconds before the game window appears.

Also in this release: contracts now ships as a plugin and is unavailable in game for the time being; it needs SDK services that aren't published yet. Your wallet.txt is kept. The README's recovery steps and safety section are updated.

Tested so far: on one Windows test PC the mod confirmed offline, applied every offline patch, and the game booted offline (bOnline[0] in Game.log). Running it with normal rights, reaching the menu and playing have not been tested yet. Reports with mod.log and Game.log help.

v0.7.8

Known issue: v0.7.8 does not start offline. Its offline bootstrap is refused at startup (offline admission/prepare refused: BAD_ARG in mod.log), so the game is not patched. Use v0.7.7 until a fixed release ships.

v0.7.7

v0.7.7 — Experimental hotfix

Fixes competing death-hook ownership.

Crash while loading on an NVIDIA GPU? Turn off Smooth Motion for Star Citizen in the NVIDIA App (Graphics → Program Settings → Star Citizen → Smooth Motion → Off). It causes the startup crash in #109 and #112; with it off, v0.7.7 starts normally.

Changes

• The game pack owns the death hook; contracts consume its actor-death events instead of installing a competing detour.
• Preserves actor-death notifications, local-player-only death events and contract recent-death bookkeeping. C/C++/C#/Lua adapters support the actor-death payload.
• Reports degraded entity-only contract bookkeeping if the contracts built-in is unavailable.

Validation and limits

Windows CI compiled and linked both the normal Release build and the optional bridges test build. All five standard product checks passed. The maintainer ran v0.7.7 in game with Smooth Motion off; broader field testing is ongoing.

Crash diagnostics report faulting module/offset and raw-stack executable-address candidates; those candidates are not an unwound call chain or proof of cause.

Installation and reports

Download sc-offline-v0.7.7.zip, extract it, perform the README's one-time setup, and run sc-offline.exe. The creative plugin remains disabled by default.

For a failing run, preserve matching Game.log, mod.log and launcher.log. Crash dumps can contain personal/process data; share them privately rather than attaching them to a public issue.
