Hi,
Attention STEAM users: This patch can ONLY be installed over the MATRIX version of Shadow Empire. If you have the STEAM version you'll have to use the STEAM platforms integrated beta functionality. Note that the posting of beta's will lag a bit behind them being posted on Matrix.
So, dear Matrix players,
This patch can be manually installed only over the official v1.10.04 or any higher version of course. Make sure you have the v1.10.04 or higher before applying the patch below.
Recommended to only try this "Open Beta" Patch if (a) you really have a need to have a fix... Or (b) if you just want to help me out by checking it runs properly.
"Open Beta" means that it has not been fully tested yet.
Enough of the disclaimers....
Existing games started with a previous version can be continued.
Download the patch here (in Chrome you might have to right click and select open in new tab):
https://www.vrdesigns.net/openbeta/Shadow_Patch_v110_05_Matrix.zip
Just copy the contents of the zip file inside the game folder (where the ShadowEmpire.exe is) and overwrite any existing files/directories.
Best way to do this is opening the zip and doing ctrl-A (select all) and ctrl-C (copy) and the going to the Shadow Empire directory and pressing ctrl-V (paste) and when windows prompts tell it to overwrite all files.
A game NEWLY started with a properly patched version will show "Version #121" in your "Dashboard Report".

-Faction Tech, Admin, Civ level demands now stop if you reach level 8. (impossible otherwise to give)

-Fixed a rare weird crash during AI history play
-Added an asset prod log for Scavenging bonus with “Rich Scavenging Area” rule
Balance & finetunings: Immediate
-Manpower Rebate rule. Trucks / APCs and Recon Buggies return some manpower back to SHQ after their deployment from the factory (returning mechanics, logistics and factory teams). Defacto thus Trucks use only 20% of stated manpower, APCs and Recon Buggies 33%. (this rule also results in less manpower returned on disband and food consumption) (Militia does not profit from this rule as they are rather inefficient)
-Fear now also has a % chance equal to its score to give 2d10 extra pop happiness reduction points. (at autocracy 40+ this is reduced. At autocracy 60 this is half. At autocracy 80 its reduced to zero)
-Worker happiness is now maximized to 100-(fear/2)
-Worker happiness also can be reduced by fear but only by 1d10 if the % materializes. Autocracy has same reducing effect.
-Danger happiness reductions can now be lower if heart profile 40+. At heart 60 the effect is halved and at 80 reduced to zero.
-Robotic forces no longer suffer RETREAT hits during combat (it will be either KILLED or PINNED)
-Robotic forces no longer suffer morale loss during the battles
Balance & finetunings: On new game start
-Updated autocracy & heart mouse over to reflect those new rules above.
-Gas-powered, gauss, charged gauss rifles/MGs/Twin Heavy MGs/Quad MGs have improved FIREPOWER. This does away with the huge FIREPOWER gap between lasers and the former. Also the mm penetration value of gauss/charged gauss has been increased with respectively +25% and +50%.
-Rare metal production of recycling/demetallization reduced with -33%. Rare metals prod in rare metals min reduced with -25%.
-Rare metal + Radioactive production of the Demetallization Facility now also modified for the Planets Heavy Elements score >100 is more <100 is less. (metal was already adjusted)
-Demetallization Facility IP + Machines construction costs is doubled
-Bit less rare + radioactive deposits created during Planet Generation (especially on >100 heavy element score Planets)
-Some Air Techs will not be discoverable if you are on a Planet with 50 or less mbar of air pressure (near vacuum or vacuum).
-The effect of combat skills: Operational Command, Strategic Command, Tank Tactics, Gun Tactics, Infantry Tactics, Defensive Tactics, Air Tactics, Air Intercept, Air Offensive, Air Ground Attack, Air Anti-Air Tactics, Offensive Tactics have been reduced by Half ! I gave this a lot of thought but the Commander impact is just to big. Hence I am reducing it.

They’ll form their own Minor Regimes and a special kind of diplomacy will be allowed with the Xeno Diplomat Stratagem. They’ll also can contact you themselves, like other Minors.
-Fixed a turn processing crash (related to AI aircraft movement).
-Fixed an issue with Private Economy (and maybe AI too) not seeing it was already producing enough Food. An optimization for speed didn’t work out. Removing it for v1.08, will try again with subsequent open beta’s.

-Forced the game application to use US culture-locale which will prevent some rare crashes with systems with exotic languages as notably Turkish
-First time some-one with 4K resolution or higher without having any DPI or resolution overrule applied runs this version or higher it will put DPI to 200%. This to not scare newcomers with too small fonts.
Gameplay and rules
-Added a flag to the Model Management Window to hide Obsolete Models
-Added a line of advise in Planet Overview in the HELP topic on Aircraft Engines.
-Amorphous Alien Fauna Feat mouse over improved to show that there is a chance the rule is in effect. *
-The Stats for Alien Fauna shown in the Popup are now the real values after direct impacting Fauna Feats have been taking into account. Much better this way. *
-Amorphous Alien Fauna Feat no longer used for Beginner games *
-Have reduced the base (before Fauna Feat) Hard Att/Def values for the Critters if they are relatively small (a 30 meter monster has enough kinetic force to not be impacted by this reduction) *
-Made some other fixes and adjustments as well to Alien Fauna Stat calcs, their offensive stats will be a bit higher than before and there will be much better correspondence between the auxiliary (o)ffensive and (d)efensive scores during Planet Generation and the final Critters on the map. *
-Some very minor adjustments to some GR equipment*
Changelist for v1.06.06
-Dismissing a candidate for a job bug fixed. It was corrupting the data of who leads a Faction.
-Fixed a bug in the script interpretation with negative values at start of formula (fixing an issue with sometimes diplomacy difficulty being too high)
-Made some speed improvement to script interpreting
-Maximum Size is now taken into account for Strategic Transfers using Air Bridges *
-Maximum Size calculation has been adapted to take into account the size of the Cargo Space instead of the Size of the Aircraft. sqrt(average Cargo space / 1000) = Maximum Size. *
-Also Size is now set for Militia forces *
-Increased Weight for Air Models (no repercussions at all just aesthetics... for now..) *
-Added possible Protests by the Population against perceived too high Income Tax, they will mostly trigger when you have high
Income Tax versus low Government Profile. But other problems will make the population sensitive to high Income Tax as well. -Upto 10% you should always be fine whatever happens. It is really meant as a counter balance to player raising Income Tax really high 40%,50%,60% without going all out on Government Profile. *
*=requires new game start with this version
Changelist for v1.06.05
-The levels of Alien Critters could still go up to far. Capped them at lower difficulty levels. Max level 3 Feats at Beginner, Max level 4 Feats at Regular.
-Made some adjustments to the difficulty levels for playing various Minor Diplomacy Stratagems. It has become quite a bit harder to make Peace by Stratagem with Minors now.
-Added code to prevent a rare crash when clicking on a Trooptype Illustration in the bottom for its detailed statistics popup
-Fixed some very imprecise mini map clicking as well as not centered minimap in the target subtab of the Stratagem Tab.
Changelist for v1.06.04 upload 2
-Made Alien Life a bit less dangerous (and less reproductive) on the lower difficulty settings, especially Beginner. On regular difficulty it will only be slightly easier. *
-Nudged a detailed combat rule quite a lot: Counter attacks diminish in strength after having done more than twice the number of attacks the individual can do.
-The Alien Critters max attacked variable was misconfigured. Has been fixed. Expect better results combatting them even for running games. *
Changelist for v1.06.04
-Fixed a graphics glitch in 2nd+ page of defenders in combat results.
-Added extra protective code to prevent the Stratagem crash (was due to Units being destroyed and invalidating the memory of previous unit selection numbering).
-Fixed a small bug with Advanced Sensors that was not being applied correctly.*
-Fixed the aircraft engine efficiency techs not being applied to higher engine counts.*
Changelist for v1.06.03

-Shortened the helicopter movement sound
-Fixed a final number of faulty sized Alien Fauna graphics
Changelist to v1.06-beta2
-Fixed issue with battle calcs for Amorphous and Trapper Alien Fauna Feats, which were not triggering.
-Population migration from one Zone to another now logarithmically capped starting lightly from 2.5% of emigration source zone population and limiting it to an extreme maximum of 15% (before Exposure rules taken into account, because those could lead to much higher emigration).. This to avoid too sudden and too extreme shifts in Population between Zones.
-I am diminishing the effect of the reward value of salaries for Workers, Leaders and Soldiers based on income tax & sales tax settings. In short if you have high income tax (and to some degree high sales tax as well) there will be less incentive for the Population to work for those Credits. Quite a big nudge and fixes a lack of punishment of excessive high income tax rates.. (requires game restart if not started game with a recent v1.05-beta)
-Soldier salary effect is now compared with weighted pop and worker salaries instead of an average without taking their numbers into account. (requires game restart if not started game with a recent v1.05-beta)
-I increased the difficulty of raising Income Tax and capped it at a maximum (but still whopping) 80%. *
note: still planning to add some unrest zone events around high income taxation (but relatively low government profile) later on.
Changelist to v1.06-beta1b
-Added option in Prefs Tab (subtab called ‘game’) to switch on/off Slow AI moves during game
-Switched of some of the more fancy AI calculations if NOT using the slow AI
-Added some small general optimizations for AI Speed
Changelist to v1.06-beta1
-Fixed AI road spaghetti issues. The AI now cleans up a bit every 4 rounds. Don’t expect miracles, but the worst road nightmares will be fixed up. If you are running this beta in an existing game keep a sharp eye out if it is working as intended please.
-Added an “Easy Logistics” optional flag that doubles the Logistical Range and Points of your Assets. *
-XP spending on Skills is now much more varied and partly depending on the personality of the Leader *
-Payload optimization TECH now also has a positive impact on Bazooka firepower (and Armour Piercing Eff. already had) (and Manpad as well by the way!)*
-Recoded AI air production choices which was sticking with the original 1st version
-Fixed quality level settings for air for AI
-Helped AI with maximization of Items rules
-Fixed AI issue that caused it to not build SAM Launchers
-VTOL engines now has Turbojet Tech as a pre-req *
-You now need the Turbojet Tech for its 4 engine variant (oversight fixed) *
-Small 10% improvement to AI speed (every effort helps, right?)
Changelist to v1.05-beta20
-Fixed dogfight bonus in combat calculations
-Fixed an issue with in some cases a piece of vital front being void of frontline for the AI calcs. Caused weird retreats in some circumstances. No longer!
-Fixed initial Air Models with Tech Level 4 start, they’ll have a bit more range now*
-AI will now first go for developing a bomber aircraft before switching to fighter/recon helicopters or thopters
-Added Motorized AT OOB*
-Added Mech AT OOB*
-Added Motorized Flak OOB*
-Added Motorized Manpad OOB*
-Added Mechanized Manpad OOB*
-The AI was still building mixed heli/thopter/airplane Units, should be stopped for good now.
-Solved a nasty screw-up for the AI where it could run out of supply network due to huge Zones it can acquire
-Fixed a negative range issue with some helicopter configurations
-Did some long AI game tests (will do some more for day 1 patch)
Changelist to v1.05-beta19
-Spend a lot of time quality-assuring the formulas that make the Air Models to make sure they work as intended in the different air pressure & gravity combinations that are possible.
Changelist to v1.05-beta18
-Saying “negative!” to a non-viable design will now allow you to redesign it (with in yellow highlighted your previous choices)
-Adjusted maximum ground speed calculations by completely rewriting them and using a separate critical ground speed variable.
-Adjusted maximum range calculation to only to take a (now also smaller hit) if the atmosphere is in fact thicker than the gravity (added drag) to compensate for the much more efficient motors and lift in such an atmosphere.
-Engine Efficiency now has more impact on the force generated per fuel unit. It is also displayed now when you are making your design choices.
-Values in different Gravity/Air Pressure combinations seem reasonable now… But keep in mind that if Gravity > Air Pressure it is seriously limiting the range of Aircraft.
-Reworked the AI Flak Unit production and movement completely
-Flak is spread over Assets/Cities and Units according to a threat analysis
-The threat analysis can also impact the priority production of extra flak will get
-Flak units will now try to find an optimum between staying safe and also covering as many friendly units as possible.
-Gave the AI some slight troops production cost bonuses to help compensate for the added complexity with air and flak. But only getting pronounced on hard and higher.
Changelist to v1.05-beta17

-Nothing else, but I am halfway to reworking some AI Air and Flak placement algorithms
Changelist to v1.05-beta16
-Air Recon no longer starts with explosion
-When you now redesign an Aircraft Model (negative command at end) the previous choices you made will be indicated with a † symbol and highlighted in yellow to help you fine-tune your design.
-Adjusted the initial free model algorithms to even grant you initial air model (and unit) under difficult circumstances (like lower air pressure than gravity)
-Added an extra check to avoid UNCLEAR relation Minors to take Asset hexes from you
-Finetuned maximum distance in Air Model calculations better taking into account the double edged sword of air pressure… which one the hand makes the propeller/jet engines work better, but on the other hand gives more air resistance to movement. -Leading to often some higher fuel consumption rates as well, which is a good thing for balance.
-Finetuned very low air pressure effects on Air Model calculations.
-Included some linear/logarithmic maximizers for some extreme conditions for the Air Models.
-Decreased the Firepower vs Ground for the various weaponry, except rockets
-Though the speed of sound is lower in lower air pressure i am allowing for higher critical speeds when the air pressure gets really low since the effect of passing any sound barrier in like 100mbar atmosphere will be much less violent.
-Improved description for various Air Model Types also showing their equipment level maximums and minimum airbase level.
Changelist to v1.05-beta15b-2
-You only and exclusively need propellor tech now for ultralight model type discovery. This fixes something i broke in earlier beta. You’ll be able to discover air model types now with propellor tech researched. * (this requires a game restart however)
Changelist to v1.05-beta15b
-Fixed the game setup “use Air Forces” flag. If not flagged it is now really NOT used. Before it caused a corrupted game to start without this flag. Big thanks to Bulldog for spotting the elephant bug in the room.
-Fixed a crash I just introduced with beta15 when watching map generation during setup.
-Removed the hidden-for-player maximum range bonus of 25% on creation

-In Raise Formation we have hidden Air Formations you do not yet have the Air Models for
-Can now develop your discover your first Air Model with something else than Propellor Engine (finding more advanced tech for example) *
-Added a visual green/red block and Airbase level for each aircraft subformation in a formation so you can quickly see if you have an issue.
-Fixed a crash related to Airbridge execution
-Airfield still in construction no longer enables that Airbase Level (next turn goes into effect)
-Blocked Decisions giving Unit Feats from triggering for Air Units
-No longer possible to Raise non-VTOL Aircraft Formations on Hexes with inadequate or no Airfield Level
-Fixed double log creation for Air Models for Model Design Log *
-Fixed issue with not allowing building Air Base in same Hex as Truck Station *
-AI got some improvements, but it also made it slower. So I added a flag that allows you to chose speed or better operational unit movement when setting up your planet *

-Fixed an error with mass upgrade caused with 105-beta5
-Changing HQ of an OHQ causes -15% Readiness loss for all Units in the OHQ
-Changing HQ of an Independent Unit causes -30% Readiness loss.
-For modding: If the GraphicsAlt directory is present in the core directory (where .exe resides) and a graphic from the Graphics directory is also present in this GraphicsAlt directory it will be used instead of the original graphic. This allows using graphics mods without replacing artwork. Might need some more testing. Why? Mostly needed for future of SE.
-Fixed a glitch with resolution change (or PBEM game where players have different resolutions) with the title bar in the top-right moving to strange places.

-Fixed a Logistics glitch where the refocus count wasn’t always working as intended
-Fixed a Logistics glitch where after a number (of blocked or not) crossroads the Logistical Points would just stop advancing.
-When raising a missing Unit it is now also possible to raise it “blank” meaning without Troops inside it. This will allow the replacement troops to fill it up the next turn ( or allow you to manually buy replacement troops)
-Fixed a combat log issue (calcs where fine) with (very) close combat mentions
-Fixed a log issue with the governor skill % bonus (which was overstated in the log)

Changelist to v1.05-beta2
-Units with more than 4 logistics items and a logistical warning label will have layout issue fixed now
-Diminished the social environment conditions effect for Eternity Cult

Notes for future manual corrections:
-When a single Asset is selected it will show its range not necc. As it will finally be deployed as other Assets might serve certain Pull Points first (before this Asset will serve Pull Points). Or in other words the preview range of a certain Asset is shown as if this would be the only Asset to serve all Pull Points.
Changelist to v1.05-beta1
