** Rare seems to be working on the SDR implementation. In certains cases FleetCreator shows a "corrupted" status that we handle. More technical information here.
*** FleetCreator has been observed to consume 8GB of RAM after 10 hours of usage, indicating a possible memory leak.
| Operating System | Compatible |
|---|---|
| Windows 11 | ✅ |
| Windows 10 | ✅ |
| Linux (X11 / XWayland)* | ✅ |
| macOS | ❌ |
* Linux ships .deb, .rpm (Fedora) and pacman (.pkg.tar.zst) packages on the
GitHub releases; updates are manual (re-download
and reinstall), and the synchronized "set sail" auto-click needs X11 (it reaches Proton/Wine games
natively or through XWayland, but native-Wayland clients forbid the synthetic click).

source.json is the English original and the only locale file anyone edits by hand. The rest is
produced for you:
| File | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
source.json |
written by us, in English: this is the one to edit |
en.json |
a copy of source.json, rewritten by CI: never edit it |
fr.json |
translated by humans, never machine-translated |
de.json, es.json, it.json |
machine-translated first, then corrected in Crowdin |
ru, zh, ja, uk, hi, ko, pt, pl |
first-pass AI translations: a native or Crowdin review is welcome |
The sync lives in .github/workflows/crowdin.yml. That workflow
is the configuration: its header explains the whole flow, and the two settings that can only be
clicked in the Crowdin UI.
