Hi everyone,
Just to keep you on your toes - here's an update to Beta 3.9 called 3.91.
See the full change log below.
- Avoid crashing if neither the main texture nor the alt texture are usable, instead fallback to the same behaviour we would use if the main texture did not exist
- Replaced a missing station prototype with one that exists
- Survive the situation where fused text meshes (and other types) have more characters than the maximum. 4 "Paul-Friederichs Expedition Base Camp" station names fused together are too much for the current maximum
- Prevent crash when in a location with no faction
- Improve entry into first location – could help with some peculiar connection issues
- Fix crash opening UI panel using left shift
- Made the the new freetrack protocol cope with missing functions in the dll. This should prevent the crash on startup some users are seeing
- Reload all ammo no longer free
- More consistent, and more frequent USSs
- Don't allow child stars to be considered for mission variables
- Fix "Missing faction for location polity" error win tutorial stations
- Planet generation: Changed the way that the effects are loaded – prevent connection loss is texture generation takes too long
- Changed the star hotspots calculation to cope with the asynchronous behaviour of the effect loading
- Fix AI ships not being able to fire gimballed multi-cannons
- Fix the difference in repair costs due to not taking into account the faction relationship of the player for that station
- Speculative fix for failure to set up a talk channel
- Fixes for typos in mission branching
- Fixed X55 binding file so it should work correctly
- Focus now passed back to game after alt-tabbing
- Increased the cool down for Frame Shifting to 40 seconds for all ships
- Moved the blast shield animation into the pad raising state (added a delay on the small pad launch state so that the blast shield doesn't raise again straight away
- Additional telemetry to help understand why some location entries take extended amounts of time
- Fix broken pulse laser audio
- Refactored special treatment of ship rtpcs when arriving from supercruise
- Reduce unnecessary web traffic in interdictions
- Some shadowing fixes
- Remove Russian as a supported language. Because it's not a supported language yet
- Adding some fixes for malformed newsfeed symbols
- Bail out of application startup if there are no suitable display modes available
Thanks again everyone, enjoy!
