  • Fixed crash when using game editor to change development level on highly-developed planet (160+).

    • This appears to still exist, it's just been pushed out. Wekkarus planets with an underwater palace and access to one of the ultra-rare resources can be at 190% development. Attempting to use the editor on such a planet produces the same error.

    There was also some debate about whether the AI actually uses the adjusted policy files modified by players, when they are placed in the customization folder. Is it confirmed that this now occurs?


    Actually, I was starting to think this was an issue as well.


    Actually, I think there is little debate, it seems to be more of a fact.



    I made a serval tests. In my games, engine just apply one standard* policy for all the empires. No matter if i use customization folder or edit orginal data files.

    *standard = all set to normal/balanced/etc.

    One thing I've noticed with the betas is that automated construction ships have a bad habit of building the wrong type of research station at planets that have a bonus to one type of research. For instance, an AI construction ship will build an energy research station at a planet that gives a 13% bonus to weapons research.

    Not sure which beta I started seeing this occur, and I don't remember it being an issue with the non-beta versions although maybe I just never noticed it and assumed automated construction ships would match the research stations to the bonus.

    Cheers

    But the automation of the passenger ships is not good. Maybe it would be better to manage it manually. I think, perfect would be two options in the population screen of every colony - 1. migrate people from this colony; 2.migrate people to this colony

    Status: offline     		Looks like 1.7.0.15 is no longer available in the members club. And the only official version is way back at 1.7.0.6 which I assume is about 9 generations older than the latest beta...

    Is there something new on the horizon imminently???

    Status: offline     		Every time I start a new game I get the latest patch be it official or beta. The official patches are basically a culmination of many beta patches. I wouldn't say it is vital to get it right away, wait until you finish your current game then go for it.

    As Woodman says stick with your current game but if you are thinking of starting a new one the current beta is well worth using. 1.7.0.15 is a lot better than the current official version.

    I recall some issue around permissions on these files for customomisation. If not read only, they weren't accessed.
    Maybe I am mixing this up with some other set of files.

    Soonish. The next update is undergoing closed tests right now. Unless something major is found it will most likely be released soon.

    Status: offline     		Hi Everyone,

    The new 1.7.0.16 Public Beta Update for Distant Worlds: Legends is now available. We hope this will be the last public beta update before this becomes an official update in a week or two.

    For those that are willing to help us give this a test before it becomes official, it is very much appreciated.

    The updated change list is in the first post in this thread.

    Regards,

    - Erik

    Status: offline     		Wanted to report a bug (at least I think it is a bug) in 17.0.16:

    If you select a design, then select Manually Upgrade, then, if you do not change anything and just hit CANCEL instead of SAVE, the design is automatically marked as obsolete. I don't know if this happens in earlier beta builds because I haven't done as much playing in those.

    Hope this helps, thanks again for making a terrific space 4x

    Status: offline     		I've noticed a few things that may be bugs in 1.7.0.16 (but I've played so infrequently in the last two years that they may be things that I've somehow messed up in my settings):

    1 - Started a game as Wekkarus and the default escorts were the size of frigates, the default frigates were the size of destroyers, and the default destroyers were so large that I could not even build them.

    2 - My next door neighbor Hakonish kept removing its trade embargo, then immediately re-imposing it. Both messages appear at the same time - the removal above the re-imposition. This stopped once I built a bunch more warships.

    3 - I can't build them yet, but I have a bunch of non-obselete designs for Cruisers and Battleships in my design screen.

    4 - This has been happening since at least 1.7.0.12, but sometimes I get an exotic resource on two different planets - it's usually Zentenaba Fluid. Is that WAD or a bug?

    I'm not seeing anyone else post bugs, so I'm thinking that this is probably an issue with my machine, a corrupt install, or I've messed up my settings?

    Edit - On second thought - does this belong in the tech support forum?

    2nd edit - Post moved to the Tech Support Forum.

    Status: offline     		Got a few bugs to report in, starting with the biggest.

    1. Ships starting with no weapons
    Had a big problem with all military ships for all races as well as pirates receiving no weapons at game start. So i started experimenting a bit with the policy files under Distant Worlds\Policy\. Moving or deleting these solved the problem, as well as using my ingame customised policy file with the starting race name. So i compared the "in game" generated file with the others and the only difference i could find was that all decimal-values used , in the one that worked and . in the others.

    Solution to 1
    Replaced all . with , in all race policy files and now it works like a charm.

    2. Ingame generated policy file doesnt save the following values:
    Allow sabotage mission: Destroy base
    Allow sabotage mission: Assassinate character
    When establish new colony, immediately build this base
    Never recruit troops until colony population reaches

    3. DesignComponentAreaWeaponsSpaceports is set to N in policyfiles and cant be changed ingame.


    Love the game!!!
