Beta Build 61250/61450 Detailed Changes

Hey Raven I know I have said this before but I will say it again I love your work. Thanks for putting this up.

Also Uber best patch yet this is the most fun I have had playing the game since early beta.

The water doesn't have the tide behavior anymore. Even it the coasts are more static, they are now easier to read for naval and ground navigation.

PIP is awesome.
However this build seems a bit wonky, both my games started with a black screen. UI Reload resolved it without trouble though.

Also when I went back from the settings this happened:


Again a reload via F5 fixed it.

I've seen you play. You don't need terrain textures to win anyway.

Looks like you've discovered a new game mode.

This happens every time I play. Easily fixable, but kind of annoying.

Can the fab ships be picked up by an astreus?

Ctrl+U now also disables strategic icons. Great for screenshots. Snuck in under the radar.

Haven't tested, but pretty sure they can.

Yes they can, I tested, I took a screenshot, I accidentally deleted it.

Both kestrels and the astraeus can transport them.

I don't think you mean Kestrels

raenen every time I try to join or create a game it says Pa.exe has stopped working please help.

you should add that to the Community fan art thread. It looks pretty cool.

What I find most annoying with this is it makes the game review endgame impossible.
You hit review game, end up with a black screen, hitting F5 sends you back to the score screen ...

You should make a new thread for more visibility on this in the Beta Bugs and Issues forum. You should open your thread with your dxdiag.txt and any helpful screenshots or error messages and people will be able to help.

I'll say in advance, absolutely check that you have all the latest drivers installed for your hardware - this solves probably 95% of these issues.
