previous version. Start a new game for all the fixes to take effect.

All I can say is read the change log of the new build. If there are not any fixes,
changes or crash kills that pertain to the savegame you were playing, you should
be okay (hopefully). Although a fresh game start is the only way to be sure of having
the latest updates work for you.

I loaded my save game (from version 1902) and I see that the frozen research problem solved ...

Thank you so much!

Wait what - Surely the defenders are better equipped to handle wounded combatants with - oh you know an entire planet worth of infrastructure, over the aggressor who's been dumped on the planet with no proper medical facilities...

I'm very happy with this change. Invading homeworlds was very very difficult because of this issue of troops repairing while in combat.

Status: offline 		An issue I've noticed in my last game (1.9.0.3, but it hasn't been mentioned before I think) is that the AI would very often offer to sell me a technology, but for a fraction more money than I actually had. So I could never take them up on their offer. It seems as if the AI waits until it thinks I have enough money, but the algorithm is a bit off. Or I wait for 5 seconds before opening the message and in the mean while I lost a couple of thousand credits.

The obvious solution would be for the AI to only offer if I had the money + some spare change.

Status: offline 		After upgrading to 1.9.0.5 my game stutters every 4-5 seconds. This is with a new game started in 1.9.0.5. Also the pirates keep attacking me (I'm a normal empire) even when i pay for protection. Of course this cancels the protection agreement. Note the last one may be a feature I haven't seen before.

Indeed - they were regenerating too fast. This does not make them slower than the attacker, just slower than they were before.

Was this fixed?? Or should it not be possible to happen in '.05'.

Status: offline 		Very nice patch. I would like to note though that improved engagement stances only halfway fix the problem that fleets will attack way to strong space bases and commit harakiri in the process. If fleets were a bit smarter about it I could rule my empire like a true emperor (i.e. less micromanaging). And I'm 100% sure it would make a huge difference to the AI as well. I won quite a few wars this way. My nr.1 immersion breaker!

Cheers:)

Most fixes are backwards compatible, but not all. It is not required to start a new game, but if you want to make sure you have all the fixes, a new game is the only way to guarantee that.
