My pleasure, guys!  And the 7.057 was a very quick version that had a bug that I fixed in 5 minutes, so I just skipped making notes about it.

The version 7.059 is now out, relating to this: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,16079.0.html

Just dropping in to say the pipeline in .058 does load things faster ( can't quantify but it is noticeably faster).

Awesome.

New version!  http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Current_Post-7.000_Beta#Prerelease_7.061

This one should improve your graphics performance slightly in far zoom mode, and it should also fix the chat textbox issue (it does for Keith and I, at least).

This also updates a few core unity 3D project settings for render methods and .NET subset, so that a few errors that some folks were having should no longer happen, knock on wood.  These were super super rare, and seem to have been related to outdated ATI drivers on linux anyway, but I think this should work around them now.  Knock on wood.

Has anyone else noticed there is always now a little scroll bar and box to the right side of the screen with or without messages typed?

Yes, that's what fixes the textbox issue, believe it or not.

Cool just wanted to make sure, the game is now running more smoothly after the "pipeline" update the AI can now have over 3,000 or so ships on one of my planets with no problem! Well no problem for them but less lagging for me

Sweeet!  I was hoping that would be the case, it really defers a lot out of the main thread so things aren't so tightly locked between framerate and game run rate.

Always thought it was framerate because I actually have a pretty good graphic card thanks for all of the great work you and Keith put into this game, it is one of my favorites!

Our pleasure!  And really for the last years it has been Keith pretty well exclusively carrying on the torch.  I've just come back to wreck things with the engine and then fix them up this last few weeks.   Basically 7.048 onward have pretty much been all me, but for a looong time before that it's been all Keith.

Yup

Prophetic release title is prophetic.

But things do seem to be clearing up now.

Hahaha.

It looks like you can no longer drag a selection box to select your ships, anyone else have this problem?

Edit: It still works you just cannot see the box anymore so it hard to tell what you select.

I did some more testing even on a new game you can select ships by dragging, the selection box just does not appear anymore so you can still select your ships you just cannot tell how many will be selected more or less, other than that everything seems to work fine.
