SE:V v1.35 Changelog

WOOT FIRST POST!!!
Sorry that was bad....
I like #3. Thats been bothering me for a while....

sounds good.

I would be quite happy to have a ver 1.35 patch, as the bolt weapon problem is a big issue to me.

please release it soon.

thanks

I would also second seeing an official patch SOON.

For #2 I was just wondering if this was a fix for certain weapons not firing on ringed planets?

Woot, you can change the mod-dir now! This should fix a lot of PBW problems!

7. Fixed - The Population Transport minister was not working correctly.

Hooray! Aaron asked me for a saved game, and didn't reply in regards to this issue. Glad he looked into it.

yes, for future reference if you're going to send aaron a bug report, then attach a savegame if at all possible, he tends to ignore stuff if there's no savegame.

Mmm~ Late next week eh? Sounds good~

That was fixed in 1.34. I talked with MM to makes sure he was aware the problem also concerned normal planets, so both elements of the bug are fixed now.

Also, what was the population minister not doing? Was the problem specific to Stock? I'm not sure since I haven't looked in to how ministers are actually handled.

I know that both BM and IRM's population ministers only made 1 order per ship per turn, resulting in vastly slow transport if the planets were too near. Maybe that's what got fixed? Would certainly help the AI's growth as we now have "get rid of domed colonies" code in place in both BM and IRM.

Did he also get the "captured ships don't change detail-window flags / minimap dot-colors in the replays" issue?

edit: Oh, and also, if you can long range scan a ship you can see the beginning of its orders, but the order list on the details window displays nothing... That seems a bit inconsistent...

So when you say the patch may be released 'towards' the end of the week... would you expect Friday? Thursday? Wednesday? Tomorrow? perchance this evening????

I was wondering if there was any fix for loading specific units/population/troops/whatnot in Simultaneous mode (PBW).

Cool, looks like this is the official patch. Though it would've been nice for a 1.36 for the last few days to have made some progress on other bugs.

Is it save game breaking? (With IRM games as well)

EDIT: Or perhaps not. Its just vanished off the front page.
EDIT2: I'm confused now, its back again. Was it the wrong file uploaded earlier or something?

Anyway, YAY! Patch!

When will the new patch get uploaded to PBW?

I tried to install the patch, but it said I have the wrong previous version. Any ETA on when steam will update the game? Sorry, still new around here.

Thanks, ill keep waiting:)

If you know a lot about how computer software operates and you don't want to wait on Steam, then I'd suggest figuring out how to extract the files from the patch without running the patch.

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it /is/ a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

Well, I can handle anything except extracting the files from an exe the way this one is set up... how do you do it?

Pretty shadey that I can't upgrade my game without steam doing it for me

That's the understanding upfront with Steam... though I'm sure they don't go out of there way to make that clear do they?

I wonder if Aaron has some kind of contractual obligation to only release a patch no more than every 2 weeks with Steam. If he updated every week I imagine they would be 'steamed'...

I would suggest, never, I mean Never buy anything from Steam.

Most patches I've seen released on other games through steam have come out the same day as the patch was announced, even within a few hours. SE:V is the only game I've had significant delays with.

You can install patches manually into any steam game, as long as the file structure is the same, and the launch .exe (and maybe a few other key files) aren't changed by the patch. I'd suggest disabling automatic updates for any game you do this with, too.

Steam isn't a bad program or service. In fact, it's the only reason I ever heard of the space empires series, and I'm sure this is the same with many other people on this forum.

My experience with Steam has been excellent up to now, and I'm using it with a few games including SE V that I procured 7 months ago. It has the advantage, that you don't need to use a CD-ROM. Never got one single issue with them. As for the delay to get a new patch, anyway I always wait a few hours to make sure that some people tried it. Most of the complains I read about Steam are easy to solve. So I do recommend it.

Edit exept counter strike and related products

V.35 with BM 1.06

The ability to change items in the strategys has been fixed but the one I tried for Planets with Colonies to attack until all weapons are gone just glasses the planet. I don't think there were weapons on the planet down to the last population unit (they started out with 5000M or more) on two different colonies.

Its nice that it can be adjusted. It would be nicer if the settings were actually employed. It worked fine on v.25 BM 1.04 except that the unneeded combat ships would then try to flee the hex, leaving the troop transport unprotected. Can't have everything, I guess.
