AI War Beta 3.901 Released!

[x4000]

Original: http://arcengames.blogspot.com/2010/10/ai-war-beta-3901-released.html

This version re-implements more of the statistics window tabs, hopefully fixes the too-low-ship-caps thing, fixes a couple of other exceptions and bugs, nerfs the Zenith Polarizer, and improves memory allocation a bit more.  The memory allocation thing in particular changed a few thousand of lines of code scattered throughout the program, so please do keep an eye out for wonkiness in the next couple of days.  So far it seems good, though, and the improvement to RAM use was worth the smaller risk of new bugs at this stage.

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 3.701 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time.  If you don't have 3.701 or later, you can download the windows installer for 3.711, or the OSX installer for 3.712. Once you do an in-game update, they'll both be on the latest version, despite starting at slightly different versions.

For anyone wanting to play a long game, you may want to wait before updating, as there may be issues with opening saves done from 3.901

Getting this too. Wasn't able to upload a save on the tracker for some reason, so I've stuck one up here in case it helps.

edit: Oh ! now I see why, it's 0 kb ( they all are)!

even after the 5x reduction in units hit, flak guardians still seem far more dangerous than any other variant, had a 500+ force of MK I & MK II killed extremely fast by a MK III flak guardian

I cant find the single/group movement button, has it been implemented yet or am I just blind?

The button isn't there any more, but you can set a movement mode toggle in the CTRL screen I think if it is, if not its one of the others accessible from the 3 bottom left buttons. Hot-keys are still the same for attack, group, and formation moves.

Yup, CTRL menu.

There was definitely a bug in 3.901 that broke the save-game feature, so if you're interested in saving your game don't play 3.901

But that's fixed for 3.902; when I see Chris, I'll ask him to push that out.
