TURN 202

- A.I: starts building very powerful ships

- The game is running smooth as butter. Thanx for the great work AMPLITUDE!

UPDATE: Turn 224. Other A.I. factions build dozens of carriers with only short range weapons... easily destroyable for me... definitely needs to be addressed cos it's a gamebreaker... :-(

Hi all,

We are preparing a new update, with a lot of improvement, especially on the performance optimization area. We have implemented drastic improvements in AI, command processing, visibility and influence computation, and input lag issues. 

Optimizing is great, but it can result in bugs and regressions. We have been testing this new version internally and with our QA, but we could use a bit more help. For those who feel bold and want to help, we would love to have your feedback on this build. You may experience game blockers and crashes, but the improvement on this build is such that I think it deserves you give it go. Please note that at the moment, this preview version is only available for Windows users.

To avoid having the whole community migrate to this version accidentally, we have added a password to access this build : PreviewTest1016

To install the build:

• Select the properties of the game by right clicking on Endless Space 2 in our Steam library
• Click the "Betas" toggle and input the password PreviewTest1016
• You may have to restart Steam to be able to select "preview (1.0.16)" in the list of betas you want to opt in
  
• Wait for the download to complete and play the game.

If you encounter issues, please report them in this thread! If you're unfamiliar with reporting issues, here is the best way to proceed.

Detailed release notes will follow once we progress on finalizing this version for the whole community.

Cheers and thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm not sure it's coming with the 1.0.16 but I encounter a bug during the game :

• Summary / Title: Lost Minor Faction Quest
• Description:  Having a quest with a minor faction  to assimilate them, but an AI complete the quest (explore an anomaly) and get the minor faction.
• Steps to Reproduce: Load the save BeforeLost and wait for the AI to esplore the anomaly on the system
• Reproducibility:  We reload the game, and we reproduce it each time.
• Expected Behavior: Only one player could have a quest simultanity for a minor faction, so I expected I would just lost the quest and need to ask an other one.
• Version: 1.0.16 - MP game with AI

During heavy battles especially with advanced weapon modules, the GPU usage and framerate is spiking a lot! I'm not sure wether it happens with the Unfallen empire or since this preview build...

Hi

Just wanted to share my thoughts and various situations i've come across reaching turn 181 so far while playing this beta branch of E.S.2

interesting screenshot about the A.I. 

it just SITS DOWN HERE WHILE I AM CONQUIRING ITS SYSTEMS WITH MUCH WEAKER FLEETS. SO something is definitely wrong... most weapons are still SHORT RANGE. Other FACTIONS ARE DOING BETTER JOBS
