vers 178.162
* Improved radar blip scaling
* fixed some docking related radar glitch.
* fixed a bunch of client crashes
* fixed the random glitch that happened on engine thrusts.
* client performance optimisations
* sell ship content now sell the selected ship and not the ship in which the user is.
* attempt at fixing the d3d device creation error for some users.

vers 178.168.v2
* forgot to add content changes related to chat pins.

vers 178.231
* Fixed a ton of crashes (ty to everyone sending their .dmp in).
* Fixed some items ordering column where qty was ordered as a string instead of number
* Lag killer will now remove the starfield relatively early (starfield is actually quite heavy on low end machines)
* some optimisations all around in the client
* fixed clipping code to correctly clip particles (should reduce lag if you dont actually see the particles in action)
* added dynamic LOD support (the resolution of all the ingame models will reduce as the lag killer increase, to try to recover some fps), if the lag killer go over 10 it reduce to the maximum (which make for some very ugly ship XD), ideally lag killer should never have to reach the critical level.
* medium and low graphic will always use slightly lower poly count models (please report if any model are very skewy), those models are generated at runtime so i cant exactly check them all hence the beta !

vers 178.242
* Attempt to fix the tractor graphical glitch (the one affecting your whole screen)
* fixed a glitch introduced in the lastest beta on some particles render, causing them to render weird (long stretched triangles) randomly
* fixed a bug that caused the screen to "shake" when autopiloting, especially visible on quick/nimble ships.

vers 178.258
* fixed a graphical artifact on planet induced by the model optimizations.
* switched the lower resolution model of the planet from dynamically created to a statically created ones we already had (look nicer and is lower poly).
* fixed a bug that caused your ship to not use the radar of the station your docked in.
* fixed a bug that caused objects to disappear when docked (actually related to your ship still moving while being docked).
* hopefully fixed the weird graphical artifact that appear randomly on thrusts.
* fixed the "hold shift and drop in drag and drop item transfer" to only transfer 1 of every item selected in all scenarios now.

Like all the other beta client. You must extract it to your ss folder and then run the test.178.*.exe instead of star sonata.exe (you can also rename it to Star Sonata.exe so that your normal shortcut work, but then if you want to remove it, you have to either run the patchbot or use a backup copy of your original exe).


That beta client is now live, hence its outdated.

clicked client = crash/dump

submitted the log and dmp file

you did not extract it in your ss folder >_>

i extracted it, and through winrar i personally applied the contents of the folder to its target location, then put the exe into the top folder layer

will try again by extracting all to main dir, and let it do move/replace on its own

well, the error was that it didnt find his content directory so.

the exe should be in the same directory as star sonata.exe

worked...

problem was this noob forgot to create shortcut/then move cut to desktop

i actually moved the exe to desk instead = >FACEPALM<

all is smooth, crisp, and clear

going to go find somewhere super laggy to last client and see if display starts deleting items with lagkiller

sitting in middle of Ngorongoro crater with all of this stuff flying round, all roids... zero lagkiller and perfect view.

I'd say this patch = much success.

Last version had soo many probs with this spot.

Good work, and thank you sir!!!

will now put the word out for others to grab this and test it too

<--- Original GaNoYVeLz

I will give it a whirl.

version 178.231 beta is now released.
