  good to see

[Orkel]

Awesome. From 1.0.1.2, I hope to see MP bugfixes, they are really needed.

[XTRMNTR2K]

[Fixed] Auto-colonization now works in multiplayer.

Finally! Managed to get a MP game via LAN going with a friend the other day, and this drove us crazy. Well, besides the other issues (no nebula for clients, issues with the game time display, etc.). But I can see how fixing these things can be difficult, especially without a big team of testers (then again, how many are there?).

Keep up the great work! Each patch has been a reason to celebrate so far!

[Bartje]

It is a good sign that updates are shifting to the multiplayer aspect now, it means we can expect more feature addons soon I think

Firgof said that this month will be predominately focused on bug-fixing, and next month on feature addition, so soon!

Are you updating the log, as soon as you added something new to the patch? So that means it's done? Or this is stuff you are hoping to be adding in?

Once it's posted here they have added it to the next patch. It's done.

The patch isn't done yet though.

i am sure it means they are done!!

[Fixed] Unicode files had issues with lines that loaded across a barrier. (Fixes weirdness with unicode files)

Does it fix the problem that some of text was in English and other in your language?

[GGLucas]

Depends, there are still some things that are not localizable at this point (tutorial, system window, empire messages), but everything that has localization strings (ie all the research, buildings, other windows) should be translated now, yes.

[ZStar20]

[Added] Saves will now show the empire you were playing as, and the time the game was saved.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I noticed the patches go up by .0.0.0.2. Why is that? How come we don't have say 1.0.0.7? Just curious to know.

They are dev builds (1001, 1003, 1005 etc), the ones that go up by two (1002, 1004, 1006 etc) are the complete release builds that we get.

[mop]

that was fast??? i am left confused for some reason  and exited 

[RoPa]

I downloaded and installed SR_v1.0.1.0-v1.0.1.2, start the game up and the version number on startup screen is showing 1.0.1.0.

[colonyan]

LOTs of good stuff coming~. Very nice sir. (^_^)


EDIT:Er, ,what, it did get already released?

[Thy Reaper]

The patch is working for me.

[Balance] Goods production has been reduced to 25% of previous, and Luxuries to 12.5%.

Tried a bit. This just feels right. Happy with this balancing.

Holy those are huge reductions! We were just talking about how they were OP the other day.

What's it like now Colonyan? 



EDIT*

Also, does this work with previous saves?

[Thy Reaper]

Changes to balancing have weird effects across save boundaries. Existing structures won't change, but upgrading them could actually reduce effectiveness.

Looks like my game is all screwy now. I no longer have the pause button or speed slow down controls. I when I double click on a planet, I don't get the planet screen pop up, I have to click on the button on the top. Research is destroyed. They are not labled, and when I click on them, they do not research anything. Research dosn't even show up either. I will try and uninstall and reinstall again.

Can I just install the 1.0.1.2 patch or should I install the other patches first?

Anyone else having these problems?

I uninstalled now, and reinstalling again. I am curious, I am using Impulse. It always installs in the C:\blah blah blah directory. I want to change the directory, how can I do this?

I do, also after adding the 1.0.1.2 patch the setup screen shows version 1.0.1.0
I've tried 3 fresh installs and updated v1.0.0.0 to v1.0.1.0 to 1.0.1.2 and still have the problem.

[Thy Reaper]

I just did a fresh install from 1.0.0.0->1.0.1.0->1.0.1.2, and it succeeded. What distributor did you get the original installer from?

[Thy Reaper]

I recommend downloading a new version of 1.0.1.0. I believe some people got it before we corrected a minor error.

[Davor]

Going to redownload the patch. I am surprised, that when I reinstalled from Impulse it was 1.0.1.0.

Clean install, and redownloading the patch, works. It says 1.0.1.2 on there. Did a quick start, everything looks as normal.

Great job guys, thanks for the support. I wasn't expecting a new "update"  so soon. Please keep it up.

I tried this and now the game seems to be back on track, game screen looks good and proper version number now. 
I'll load up a new game and give it a thorough testing later this evening.

DIdn't work with previous saves.

For goods. I played governor turned off. Good goes negative at the time you fill the first system with default colony without developing them. Before they go to million real quick but not don't. Don't know if you play with governor. Try your self for. Cheers!
