Dunno if anyone is bothered, as its a old game, but i bought this awhile ago and never played it for some reason, probably cos i couldnt be bothered to learn it lol but anyhow. I notice its been remastered and more or less updated for hd res and stuff.

So if anyone has it on steam it probably autopatched so should be good to go in remastered form.

After we acquired the Nexus franchise our goal was to make the game experience better but unfortunately our hands were tied for a long time. Now we were finally able to do actual work on Nexus and this resulted in a lot that we actually did.

ADDITIONS
• Added option to use the current desktop resolution. It’s the default.
• Enabled using modern monitor resolutions including Full HD.
• Added correct displaying of GUI elements, briefings and subtitles with
modern monitor aspect ratios: 16:9, 16:10, 21:9
• Added separate field-of-view setups for different monitor aspect ratios.
• Added VSync option. It’s on by default.
• All available text languages are selectable from the launcher.
• All available audio languages are selectable from the launcher.
• Added multiplayer NAT resolver to help connecting to Internet servers.
• Added accepting Steam invites for multiplayer game.

FIXES
• Removed obsolete DirectX 8 executable versions.
• Fixed disappearing of the loading animation in fullscreen mode under
modern OSs. Also dimming is applied to the GUI during loading.
• Fixed mouse cursor latency.
• Fixed lagging of NPC mission dialogs with the unpacked data files.
• Fixed the issue shortcuts stop working after switching tasks with Alt+Tab.

MODDING ADDITIONS
• Editor window size is configurable from mod_tools launcher.
• Configured window size is independent from the fullscreen game resolution.
• Nexus can be started in windowed mode from mod_tools launcher.
• Nexus can be started in windowed mode with the /win command line option.
• Mission Editor enables returning to main menu and load another mission.
• Mission and Solar System Editor enables editing main campaign’s missions.
• Published former developer tool Briefing Editor to ease altering main
campaign’s mission briefing scenes.
• Published former developer localization tool NexLoc to ease adding new
translations.
• Options saved to the user’s AppData folder instead of the registry.

MODDING FIXES
• Fixed Converter crash under under modern OSs.
• Editor windows startup arrangement changed, Quit buttons added.
• Editors warn about unsaved changes.
• Solar System Editor uses the usual solar system navigation GUI.


We hope you all enjoy Nexus now even more!

As long as they patched that crash at the end of one of the missions I'm all for playing it again. I ended up having to hunt down a save to get past it first time I played and last time I tried it the forum I got it from has long since gone defunct.
 
Nexus was a great game.
It's a shame that the nexus 2 kick starter by the original devs was so badly run, would've loved a sequel.
 
Great game I had forgotten about.

Getting well beyond the 'Oh cool!' phase into "Oh, another one" when it comes to remasters though.

Make some new IP.
 
Awesome. Really enjoyed the game and would like to play a remaster.

Yeah, a real shame. I tried to back it, and was disappointed when it didn't reach the goal.
