Star Ruler & Steam Patched

Steam News announces a new automatic update for Star Ruler, as well as a new version of the Steam client itself. The Star Ruler change log follows.

Fixes

  • Fixed a common crash we introduced in the last patch, sorry.
  • Script contexts were being prepared on demand. They are now cached, producing dramatic speed ups in our tests (~45 fps becomes ~150 fps).
  • Fixed a rare crash upon creating/updating a hull.
  • Sounds no longer play at all with master volume at 0.
  • Docked ships would cause a system to report the wrong number of ships in the system when the save was loaded. (Fixes white ring/empty system bug in saved games)
  • Single thread mode caused issues in multiplayer.
  • Cargo ships could occasionally reach negative cargo, causing weirdness.
  • Missile rack range now increases with size like other weapons.
  • Improved performance when large numbers of objects are in the galaxy/attempting to interact with the galaxy.
  • Fixed various crashes.
  • At times, saves will become invalid because hull names will become mis-matched. We're still investigating the cause, but for now you will be informed if a save is invalid. If this happens, you should go back to a previous autosave to hopefully avoid the issue. Further, I've added a check that may correct this error for some saves.

Changed

  • Commonly created/removed orders are now pooled to improve performance.
  • Planets have been slowed down a bit.
  • Pirates use pillagers less often.
  • Defend orders are more proactive about target picking.

Additions

  • Added AI personalities. AIs now choose from a few personalities which control many things about their behavior.
  • We will add more in the coming weeks.
