[ Engine ]

The game engine has been updated in order to free up more texture memory. Players should generally use no more than 1.2 GB of RAM on Huge maps with all races represented now. We're very interested to see what everyone's experiences are with this, so please post back and let us know. You can find the total by alt-tabbing out of the game and hitting Ctrl+Shift+Escape, select the Processes tab and look for Sins of a Solar Empire Diplomacy.exe.
[ Gameplay ]

Pirates
The Pirates system has been completely overhauled with this update. Rather than relying on random upgrades which could result in a huge power curve, the Pirates will now scale gradually in abilities, fleet size and power as a game progresses.
The size of the Pirate fleet is now based off of the current raid level (Low, Guarded, Elevated, High, Highest) and there are now preset fleet compositions for each. Be aware this only affects bounty spawned raids, not those given via Diplomacy missions.
Pirates now take into consideration the total amount of bounty on offer before sending out their fleets (at High and Highest raid levels). If there isn't enough booty on the table, the Pirates will send out a smaller fleet. This is to prevent 250 credit cheese scenarios that could spawn a massive Pirate incursion.
Pirates have the opportunity to purchase upgrades after every launched raid. There are 20 levels of upgrades available to them which include bonuses to Armor, HP, Weapon Strength, Weapon Range; plus special abilities including Intercept, Quick Jump Calculation, Timed Explosives, Heavy Fallout, Embargo Planet and Sabotage Reactor. Basically if you let the Pirates live in a really long game, they will become very nasty indeed!

Advent Balance
Radiance:
Animosity: Increased max targets from 8/16/32 to 12/24/36; effect now channels every second over 20 seconds instead of being an instant action so new targets entering the AoE are hit; auto-cast will only activate if 3 or more enemy ships are in range.

Communal Labor: Allows constructor ships to buff the rate of whatever a structure does (i.e., ship building) by flying within range of it.
Vasari Balance
Jarrasul:
Colonize: Now grants additional constructor frigates instead of a structure build rate bonus. Gives 1/2/3 constructor frigates for 360/480/600 seconds.

Distortion Field: Reduced radius from 2000 to 1600.
Kostura Cannon:
Will no longer damage and stun enemy ships.
Raider Xenophobia: Tech moved to level 5; reduced from 2 upgrade levels to 1; will now reduce the Pirate fleet size sent against the player by 1 level (i.e., an Elevated level fleet size becomes a Guarded level fleet).
[ AI ]

The AI will no longer max out all of its gravity wells with mines. Mine building is now based on AI type. This should help reduce memory use and improve performance.
Fixed bug where the AI would form a Pact, break it, and then immediately reform it if the players' relationship value dropped to a certain level repeatedly.
The AI will no longer send Envoys to non-aligned gravity wells where the player controls a resource (i.e., if you controlled a neutral extractor at an asteroid belt).
AI players will no longer "spam" the player with mission requests after a mission has been rejected. Each rejection will cause the AI to wait two minutes before offering another mission (culmulative up to five times for each consecutive rejection).
[ Interface ]

The far planet icons that show up when far stars are visible are now turned off by default. Hovering your mouse over the far star icon will now show the far planet icons (if visible). Alternatively, holding down ALT will now show all visible far planet icons.
[ Misc. ]

Fixed a couple errors in the entity files that would cause the game to crash.
Ability PhaseOutHull will now play the proper sound effect.
Adjusted max dot for graphics to 0.95 from 1. This should largely eliminate the strange white lines that would appear for some players on the edges of ships/structures. Special thanks to Aractain and Kitkun for this info!

v1.2-2011-03-21-05-00-48-4304-968.dmp

Praht

[Marcel99]

Die sprachausgabe kanns du nicht wieder auf deutsch kriegen es sei denn jemand lädt die ganzen files hoch und das sind etwa 250 mb.

Die schrift sprache kann man über die string datein ändern da kuckst du am besten in die sigi des ersten posts

[Praht]

hallo

und es geht doch!
ich hab einen hinweis hier aus dem forum befolgt und nun ist alles wieder auf deutsch. sprache umd schrift. für interessierte:

http://www.globalgameport.com/showthread.php?t=42819

der post ganz unten ist gemeint.
es hat seine vorteile das ich spiele nur als cd/dvd kaufe.:D:D

aber savegamekompatibel ist der neue patch scheinbar nicht. ich hab mehrere eigene und viele autosaves getestet. keiner lies sich laden.
mfg Praht

[Marcel99]

ich hab nicht gesagt das es nicht geht sondern nur das du jemanden finden must der die die soundfiles zur ferfügung sellt etwas anderes steht im besagtm post auch nicht

[Praht]

ich hab nicht gesagt das es nicht geht sondern nur das du jemanden finden must der die die soundfiles zur ferfügung sellt etwas anderes steht im besagtm post auch nicht

hallo

jupp, ich hab ja die dvd darum sind die soundfiles für mich das geringste problem.:D
und wegen dem hochladen.. wenn ich keine rechte verletze und mir jemand beschreibt wo ich das hochladen kann, mach ich es gern.
Praht

ps: ich hab es nur genauer beschrieben weil auch andere das problem haben könnten. ob es bei steam download hilft hab ich keine ahnung. ich nehm steam nur sehr ungern, ich lass nicht kontrollieren bzw. überprüfbar machen was ich wann und wie lange spiele. aber das ist nur meine persöhnliche meinung!

[Han_Trio]

nur mal interessehalber, und um missverständnissen vorzubeugen @ praht (du beziehst dich ja auch auf meinen post im anderen thread):

du hast die trinity version, richtig? ist da KOMPLETT alles drauf, also basis spiel + die beiden extensions (incl. sämtlicher sound files), oder muss man sich die extensions trotzdem noch via impulse ziehen?
wenn alles drauf ist - super, dann is ja sowieso kein problem :)

und zu den save files: das ist leider immer so, wenn gepatcht wird. kann man nix machen.

[Praht]

hallo

ja sorry nicht steam... impulse.
nein nur den patch zieh ich runter, ich hab beide dvds! einmal das erste also soase.
und dann auch trinity.

ich ziehe keine vollversionen oder erweiterungen runter.
ich hab es lieber wenn die cd/dvd immer griffbereit liegt.
macht einiges einfacher.:D:D
ich hab ja schon einige erfahrung mit schlecht umgesetzten patches.
(alles in deutsch installiert.. dann ein patch auf englisch.. naja)
trotzdem, ich frage meist in den foren nach und suche auch selber nach lösungen.
ich will eben einen ungestörten spielgenuss, und fehler nerven einfach!
und wenn ich nebenbei ein wenig helfen kann .. tja passiert manchmal:D

ps: das mit den soundfiles hochladen ist ernst gemeint, solange ich keine probleme deswegen bekomm, wegen urheberschutz oder solchen sachen!
