v.142 is almost complete, but it has become necessary to issue an emergency preview for Android users ahead of schedule.
There are two main things you need to test in this version:
New EU consent for ads. You will only see this if:
You don’t have a CHL
You’re at least tier 3
You live in the EU
If you meet all these criteria, verify that a dialog pops up asking for your permission during your first login, and afterwards that a “Privacy Options” button has appeared on the main menu. Verify that ads are otherwise shown as expected.
If you don’t live in the EU, please verify that ads still work for you exactly as in previous versions.
New “Virtual D-Pad” control option (in Main Menu → Options → Controls → Touchscreen → Follow method). Ensure that:
It works as expected.
The remaining follow methods still work exactly as they did in previous versions.
DOWNLOAD
Before downloading, read through these important points:
This preview is labeled as v141.8, which means it will connect to the live server and you will be playing on your actual official profile. However, you will be able to play multiplayer only with other v.141.6 players.
During first app launch, you will receive a message that CI2.hst is corrupt. This is normal and can be ignored. All your menu options will be reset to their default values, however, so you’ll need to reapply any customizations you’ve made.
About the sensitivity option, I think it should affect how fast the ship would fly depends on where you hold your finger on D-Pad. The closer to the corner of it, the ship will fly faster with higher sensitivity.
This behaviour is somewhat same as TouchStyk*, if we set its sensitivity to “Lighter Touch”, which known as fastest, then the mouse will go crazily fast. The opposite to “Heavy Touch”
* TouchStyk is also a mouse controller, which you can find on most vintage laptops, such as my model, HP Elitebook, or older Lenovo Thinkpad
