Patch 1.2.0.4

Patch Notes

This is, hopefully, one of the last "quick fix" patches. It also contains a few small balance changes. If you are still getting "I/O errors" disable the debug: log events option in the configuration tool, as it's no longer useful information.

Changelog

Balance

  • Diplo tributes to friends are proportional to the size of your empire (individuals get pocket change)
  • Allies and very friendly won't try to plant military bases in your empire anymore

Improvements

  • Explosions (missiles, mines, Flak) no longer hit friendlies and neutrals
  • Quicksave no longer resume game if it was paused before pressing button
  • Misc. code optimizations

Fixes

  • Potential fix for "Low surrogate error" and "String index error"
  • Potential fix for occasional quicksaving fail when game is very busy
  • Fixed: I/O Error when debug log is enabled (sigh)
  • Fixed: A possible fleet / bookmark panels freeze/bug/crash
  • Fixed: Exception in station setup menu if the player isn't flying a ship
  • Fixed: Multiple menu related issues
  • Fixed: Rare issue with mouse selection
  • Fixed: Station editors are missing max value for gun and shield slots
