Update 4.0.84 - Chat, ELO, Networking & other Bugfixes

Latest Update:

  • ELO Bugfixes. Some ratings went out of hand due to a bug where the volatility raised when someone force-disjoined a game. Some ratings have been re-adjusted due to the bug.
  • ELO Calculator: updated with latest fixes (courtesy of Kran :-D).
  • Leave-button added for game's joined/other state (to remove confusion how to exit but not disjoin a game)
  • Connection Timeouts: increased from 5 to 10 seconds (empty games lists should be gone).
  • Server-Tuning: should now runner better for larger number of connected players (thread count x2).
  • Server-Tuning: will skip errors during update to allow other processes/games to continue (e.g. connection to main server broken).
  • Language: Georgian added (party only!) - Thanks :-D
  • Language Support: Thai, Devanagari & others. Please email me if you want letters to be added (type or copy/paste them right into the email!)
  • Black Screen @ Startup (Steam): when the Steam achievements couldn't get loaded, the game was waiting with black screen. Works OFFLINE as well now!
  • Editor (Maps): will prevent & warn if provinces/tiles of too small surface area are created.
  • Bugfix/Offline: Game works OFFLINE as well: ditto "Black Screen" above!
  • Bugfix/Crash: opening incompatible maps should not crash anymore but show you the error message (e.g. maps removed from system & re-uploaded as new map).
  • Bugfix/Chat: number of joined user (chat game announement) is now correctly displayed (+1 off!)
  • Bugfix/Chat: banned user is correctly displayed in chat now incl. the user who banned him/her!
  • Bugfix/Chat: chat commands now work when /tint was enabled.
  • Bugfix/Chat: after 75+ people in the chat people joining/leaving the chat are all hidden.
  • Bugfix/Server: backups stopped working due to broken FTP-connection (fixed!)
