Final batch of updates before we update the main branch. This update includes substantial performance updates for larger battles and fixes for some of the most annoying bugs.
==========================================
STARMINER 0.33.11.0 - PATCH NOTES
==========================================
------------------------------------------
ADDITIONS
------------------------------------------
- Third-party software notices now ship with the game next to the license agreement
------------------------------------------
TWEAKS
------------------------------------------
- Smoother performance in large battles: enemy ships, station guns, engineers and the physics scene do far less work per frame with hundreds of enemies on screen
- Arcade flight with the Simplified movement model no longer draws thruster power; thruster modules show 0 kW while it is active
- A station left drifting by enemy impacts now comes to rest and settles instead of creeping forever, when its autobrakes are on or it is idle
- Losing your current station with no substation left now switches you to the nearest remaining station instead of the first one in the list
- Navigation tool visuals updated
- Updated Combat Training
------------------------------------------
FIXES
------------------------------------------
- Station guns and lasers no longer sit idle for seconds after their target dies, leaves range or cannot be fired at; they rescan within a second and keep a live target between scans
- Station guns and lasers recalculate their lock-ons correctly now, preventing states when they wouldn't fire at or mine larger objects
- Mining lasers no longer stall the game in long sessions while searching for a rock, and they re-search a lock they cannot fire at instead of holding it
- Enemy Monarchs now move
- Fixed Navigation Overlay in Arcade Mode: thrusters are no longer activated while pressing WSADQE in while in Navigation Overlay
- Engineer pathfinding no longer stalls on a large station, and the first path after a load is correct
- T2 solar panels no longer drift off their sockets after a hangarship dock or undock, and saves with displaced panels are repaired on load
- Hangarship dock box: a station parked inside the box no longer reports it cannot dock when another station sits beside the box, the dock walls keep clearance from the station surface, and the enter/leave transition fires once
- The detach-module and save-blueprint windows in show the station name field again and Confirm works
- The station marker toggle-box tooltip is now visible again
- The game no longer starts in VR on machines with an XR runtime installed
- Various crash fixes
