1.49.7 - Timelike Curves

- OLED saving was applied to non-static HUD elements, such as autopilot targeting receptacles and ore identification markers. OLED-saving protocol introduces a slight shift of all the static elements of your HUD to prevent OLED (and CRT) displays from being damaged with burn-in from having a prolonged display of a static image. This makes sense for static elements of your HUD. This will cause all the autopilot target markers and ore identification markers to be exactly centered on the target.
- The Autopilot HUD overlay displaying relative velocity and distance was not placed correctly if you targeted the surface of a big entity, such as a moonlet. While the triangle marker was correctly placed on the surface of the object, the velocity overlay was placed over its centre of mass.
- The custom paint job, if present, will now be applied to OCP-209's habitat.
- LIS-Kitsune HUD will now respect brightness tuning for the microseismic scanner floating window.
- The Virtual Flight service in the Tuning menu required you to use the shortcut key to activate it. You will now be able to activate it using your mouse.
- You could take a very specific path through the spacetime that caused some of the points of interest to appear more than once.
- Fixed a bug that caused faction disposition for unique entities, such as certain space stations or station-like structures, not saving individual disposition towards you correctly. This could cause some entities to become hostile on your first interaction. This change is retroactive and will reset all the mistakenly set dispositions automatically.
- Updated translations.

Pre-summer upgrade – update 1.904.0

Greetings Patrons!

In line with announcement from a few days ago, we're releasing next Patron update today! Work was done in several areas from continuous optimizations, bugfixes and additions of a few quality of life and useability perspectives.

To dive deeper and find more room for performance gains, we've performed a very lenghty testing sessions to monitor the hardware stress and deduce when and why stress is increased. In this instance, particular emphasis was put to find a way to bring optimizations that could impact lower-end GPU's.

Acording to results we've been getting, performance (especially in lower end hardware) should be more consistent now, shouldn't have significant drops with hundreds of citizens and hundreds of buildings, and occassional issue where frame dropped during ingame winter time should be resolved now.

At the same time, while diving deep, we've also identified some areas that could increase performace even more, but more extensive changes will need to be made. That's something we'll include in more future updates.

We've also fixed several bugs you've reported with stock panel, numerous notification errors and visual glitches.

Lastly, selection for several frequent keyboard layouts has been completed too.

List of notable update elements:

CHANGES

• FIXED: Stock panel – when resources are sorted by quantity, selected resource won't randomly change when numerical value changes
• FIXED: Shadows for numerous objects are now rendered properly at intended level of distance. They will not disappear prematurely
• FIXED: Fake notifications, especially for lacking housing, won't appear anymore
• ADDED: Choice between QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboard layouts
• OPTIMIZED: Very extensive optimization of all free Halloween DLC 3D models
• OPTIMIZED: 3D models of all buildings and trees in Mare Nostrum DLC improved
• OPTIMIZED: Several tree models in Patron base game
• OPTIMIZED: Transport wagons 3D models for all farms highly optimized
• OPTIMIZED: Text renderings in many panels improved and made less hardware demanding
• OPTIMIZED: During winter times, frame drop should be eliminated

May your experience be smoother then ever. We have more in store for future updates, so keep us informed of your experiences!

Enjoy and govern on!
