Before You Install

Windows C++ Redistributable

OpenSpace requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022. A copy is included in the downloaded folder. If you see "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found," install it to resolve the error.

Network access

OpenSpace will request internet access on first launch — a standard Windows security prompt. Granting permission is required for full functionality, including the user interface and live data features.

Updating from a previous version

Use the lightweight download if you're updating an existing installation. Copy your sync and user folders from the previous version into the new OpenSpace directory.
