    It's been a few days since we hit 1.0, but we're still hard at work, adding polish, fixing bugs as we find em - or you in our community report them! Keep playing, keep reporting - on the forums, on Steam, on reddit - what's working, what you're loving, what you're not loving quite so much, and we'll keep making it better and more awesome.

    Thanks all!

    Build Notes:

    AI: Fix for AIs that start on other planets by themselves not doing much. Improved how the AI determines it is alone on a planet. (should be much faster)
    AI: AI neural net update.
    AI: AI econ adjustment.

    Client: Fix some texture size restrictions (e.g. the nuke scorch decal) to save approximately 300MB to 400MB of GPU memory (and a corresponding amount of CPU memory too).

    Gameplay: Fix for start location generation getting into an infinite loop when there isn't enough pathable area on a planet.
    Gameplay: Fix for radar structures never being active if they were built while the army's energy was stalled too far.
    Gameplay: Fix for orbital units not being able to do certain area commands on gas giants.
    Gameplay: Fix for trees and structures still visible after planet destroyed.

    Localization: Lots of changes and additions to localization. If you want to help the community localization, please check out: http://www.getlocalization.com/PALocalization/

    Memory: Limit CSG and planet textures to 1024x1024 maximum (saving up to 200MB of graphics memory and 200MB of system memory, or 400MB of memory on integrated graphics on a large game with multiple biomes).

    UI: A number of fixes to startup flow; you shouldn't be able to skip past the Steam / PlayFab linking now, galactic war video will no long auto play, and a few others.

    Uber, i would like to say that i'm glad you guys are taking this release well and i really hope this doesn't turn out like BF4. With this patch though, it shows you are better than EA and DICE, thanks for that. I'm really glad you guys are squashing these bugs so quickly.

    Does the galactic war video still play the first time?

    Yay for the number of Steam issues going away! :D

    Great job guys! Seems like Sorian's busy preparing the AI to make us cry again!

    At last, the AI won't give up when it's alone! :D
    Always nice to see some optimizing stuff too, overall nice build.

    Ehh the AI is kinda flaky in multi-planet conflicts.

    Uses nukes well enough, but doesn't develop it's colony's very well, doesn't move it's com to expansion bases when threatened.

    And no gas giant utilization.

    But I'll bite my tongue till I observe a single planet conflict, AI current rating: Absurd, Normal, Relentless, Hard.

    There is still some patrol issues with avengers when you send them too other planets, they just sit there when you give them the patrol order.

    Great to hear the ai is getting better ^^ and some things are getting fixed :) does anyone know if the craters caused by smashing a planet still kill everything that flys or moves into them instantly is fixed?

    Great build!
    Note: If I tell an orbital fabricator to build on another planet a teleporter it won't move to the other planet and build it. It builds on the same (wrong planet). It is necessary to issue a move command first for some reason to the other planet first then build a teleporter. :(

    Although when first reported, teleporters would not build at all in this situation.

    I can confirm this. It has been that way for awhile now. I always issue a move command followed by a shift-command that I want once it is there as a work around.

    Got a minor AI bug in my support commander.
    Situation: GW Uber size, Relentless AI
    Tech: Vehicle Commander, Advanced Vehciles, Advanced Air, Support Commander.
    Lobby ID: 357465800189211154

    Note: AI seems to be unaware that if lacks basic Air tech, going for Air Factory first (despite having no fighters), but also not building any T2 Air units from the advanced Air Factory.

    I spawned on the same planet as one enemy, while the 2nd foe and my AI ally spawned alone.
    My ally spawned in water, and he opnened with Air Factory and some econ.
    He then even build a land factory, Orbital launcehr and a few more metal spots. then Advanced air.

    And then he just stopped grabbig anything on his planet. Indeed he came over to mine and grab Mex spots there rather then grabbing the ones on his planet, despite still having his two air fabbers. He never even realised the enemy had landed on his planet (slightly out of radar range).
    Not even when I engaged the enemy on his planet did he react. Instead he send his commander to the remaining enemy planet. In a Astreus. Despite half a dozen orbital fighters being around that planet and clearly visible on orbital radar.
    He got past the orbital layer and to his engiener building a teleport beachhead. Only to be compeltely oblitterated by enemy T1+T2 Airforce. Without even activating the finished teleporter.


    Hope that helps improoving it further.

    The galactic war video welcome (then one with Brad) shouldn't play in the background with the intro video... you should still be able to play it through the video list on the right.

    The galactic war intro video should still play when you start a new galactic war.
