PTE build 75330-pte (please post feedback and bugs here)

@jables , please take this post into consideration. I think it would improve the casts from @wpmarshall and @ZaphodX if the spectators weren't flooded with unnecessary notifications.

The list of improvements to the notification system is all good and well, I agree 100%, but it reads like from the perspective of a player, not a spectator to me.
There is no "found player X" for the first time for spectators

Editing the CSG on a 750 Radius Metal Planet causes this to happen:



Also the Spawn Circles don't always disappear when they're supposed to. Even when generating from a new seed they persist.

It would be awesome if a graph for army numbers, showed numbers, total metal, total health, and total dps. Would see dox army compared to tank compared to both or air even.

Neat work on the gas giants! Not only the fixing, but the animation itself. I think that was broken for like forever?

And i found a System Editor BUG:

Increasing the mass of an orbiting planet to a higher level than the central planet and then trying to move the central one causes a crash. Confirmed it with nothing else than 2 tropical planets, also without preview.

Considering the pa.exe's size and the general slowdown of my pc, it's probably some kind of hefty memory leak.

Btw:
1. Another issue, i think i've read something about it earlier:
When zooming in from an orbital level (still centered around planet), my camera jumped a few times to another position. Can't really recreate it, happened while using pole lock.

2. Is it intentionally that you can't move the camera with cursors when selecting units via boxing? Considering how perspective in RTS and on planets work, adjusting the screen would be very helpful.

This happens to me all the time and has happened since very early alpha days. At some point while zooming (I believe zooming IN) the camera will jerk to the other side of the planet.

That is kinda awesome.... Hollow metal planet shell biome anyone?

I have some issues with AI. Sometimes they freeze after a couple of buildings made.

i have a issue when i go to the system designer all i get is this



even when trying to edit an existing system.
this only happens to me in system editor. nothing wrong with showing planets in game.

You seem to be using Windows, so could you post your DxDiag.txt? It contains hardware and driver info, so that could be helpful. You can make one by pressing <Win>+R, typing "dxdiag" and then press the "Save All Information" button. Upload the resulting file here.

ok here is my dxdiag

Having no luck reproing this, could you give any more details?

I pasted 10 csg's and while holding down Q on the 11th hit delete and it only deleted the 11th. If this is what you are doing, it looks like it may have been fixed internally. We are hoping to get a build out today, so can test on that.

Will let someone better at dxdiag's than me reply, but normal fix for these type of issues is making sure drivers are up to date. Not saying this will fix it, but tossing it out as something to try while waiting for a more educated response

Known issue on this one. Will be fixed before we go live on the Leaderboards.

Just search for "Date".
But yeah, deadhawk112's drivers are up to date:

The rest seems fine to me as well.

Talked to @mkrater and she suggested it could be a mod as well (as this happened to another person with exact same results). If you have mods installed, please turn them all off and try again.

Could be this. I think the Unlocked System Editor mod was broken even in stable. It caused the black screen like this for me.

turns out it was exactly that! thank you i didn't know that simple mod could have that effect
