New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.791_Network_Defragmentation There are a few new expert mode additions in here, making that even more difficult and interesting — thanks to Badger for adding those! Also some nice DLC3 improvements. On the networking front, I’ve made a number of improvements that should yield a better experience, lower bandwidth usage, reduced errors in some…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.790_Defense_Against_Rogues This one has some improvements from Badger to the tech window, and also includes several bugfixes from him (including some cross-threading fixes that are high-priority and were bothering folks over the weekend). Beyond that, StarKelp has a number of fixes and improvements to his Lost Humans mod, including adding new Rogues for…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.789_Network_Consolidation This one has a whole lot of cool new things for the necromancer, if you’re a DLC3 tester at the moment. For everyone, there’s a lot of networking improvements in here. Accuracy, speed, and a lower number of options when it comes to steam networking. I also found that the steam networking…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.788_Canary_Search This one fixes a bunch of more stuff with multiplayer, and a few single player bugs like tachyon beams not working. This also gives some great new quality of life improvements when dealing with cloaked enemy ships on a planet. As far as multiplayer goes, I think it’s pretty much more solid…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.787_Yet_More_Performance I had hoped to be out of beta a week or so ago, but we’re not quite there yet. On the plus side, we’re continuing to make some astronomical strides in general stability, performance, and so forth. This applies to singleplayer and multiplayer. We have a couple of dramatically-overpopulated huge savegames that…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.786_A_Very_Intense_Patch Whew, this one is absolutely giant. It’s mainly focused on polish and bugfixes, but it has a number of DLC3 features in there as well. I was hoping to get out of beta last week, but there were too many things that have needed attention. I’m happy with the progress that is…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.785_Just_Bugfixes This one just has some bugfixes, none of them TOO serious. That’s kind of the idea for the period leading up out of beta. Hopefully if things are looking good, then Monday might be the day. I guess maybe Tuesday if the winter storm coming up knocks out my power, or if…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.784_Tractor_Recursion Lots and lots of bugfixes, a few DLC3 additions, and some quality of life tweaks. I typed up most of a longer post, had to step away for a bit to take care of something, and discord ate it when I got back. Nice. So I’ll be super brief, instead. We need…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.783_The_Return_Of_Multiplayer.21 Multiplayer is BACK, folks. There were a lot of beta-branch-specific bugs since the great refactor started, because I needed to get singleplayer working first, and then get multiplayer going. I am very very happy to report that this should be the most stable and most performant version of multiplayer yet, beating out…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.782_Smooth_Reloading Hopefully we are in the last few days before this comes back out of beta. I have some known issues I need to fix in multiplayer, but once again we’ve cleaned up the full (I think?) list of known bugs of any seriousness that are afflicting multiplayer. This build also makes it…
