CIU version 145

[InterAction_studios]

MAIN CHANGES

This is a minor maintenance release, however it does include a noteworthy quality-of-life feature: Upon first startup, your system language will be detected, and if there is a complete or near-complete game translation available for that language, it will automatically be used (of course, you can still set your language manually through the Options → Language menu). Furthermore, the most up-to-date translation for your language will be automatically downloaded each time you connect to the server.

Social network icons have also been added to the main menu so you can watch daily competitive and highlight videos.

---

Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (put it in your forum profile where it says “name” so I can find it).

COMPATIBILITY

You will lose:

• any mid-mission progress
• your language selection
• your seasonal content setting

[Exxtream]

is it normal that mods does not work in the new version? I used the “.standard.backup” file and renamed it to “.standard” seemed to given me this error

[OfficalK12]

the file in backup nmay not have full textures or everything on new version so a crash would occurs
the screen show “not found the social icon”

[2sN]

@Exxtream

.standard.backup

You’re using the older version of archive file, which lacked textures for the game to load. Reinstall the game then install the mod to the latest archive.

Huh… it doesn’t work for me. As soon as focus is lost, keyboard stops working.

I don’t do anything special with the keyboard, I just ask Windows for the state of various keys using regular Win32 calls.

About the NAT: I’ve yet to get home but that explains everything. The house is new, the provider is very small. The one I used before was a huge one and they are also pushing ipv6, so if they use v6 internally they probably don’t even need a NAT — the available addresses won’t run out. I’ll just wait until the old provider comes to the new house.

[OfficalK12]

do you have any solution to this problem?
it has been annoyed me for like since v144

[OfficalK12]

i found the problem
turn off the plugin i installed will fix the problem

What does it means ?

@RoboCat

What does it means ?

Internal change related to video generation. At least that’s what was assumed before.

@RoboCat

and

Previously, UFOs spawned by the Yolk-Star™ could’ve thrown the RNG out of sync which might’ve caused different drops for different people in the same mission. Now it’s not happening.

Look at my report:

GEN Discussion/Feedback

This is clearly unfair case. One side appear the Klaus, which can give you more than 5k points total (i don’t remember exactly the score when destroy Klaus’s main body). And the other is the Toxic, which only give you 1,000 points [image]

[VerMishelb]

I’ve just checked the old router (that gives me port-restricted cone) and I also have different IPs in the router and on the website, which means that there’s a NAT, from what I conclude that the new provider cheaped out somewhere and decided to block all the ports, maybe? No idea.

[InterAction_studios]

@VerMishelb

I also have different IPs in the router and on the website

Well, the CGNAT also has a type (Full cone, Restricted cone, Port-restricted cone, or Symmetric). The overall type will be the most restrictive of the two (although there might be combinations that might make the overall type even worse than the individual types – I don’t know for certain).

My guess is that your “old” CGNAT is either Full cone or Restricted cone, so provided your own NAT is configured correctly things work, but your “new” CGNAT is Symmetric, so it won’t work no matter what you do.

[ordinary_ryxt]

i’m still curious if dedicated multiplayer servers are viable or not

[trueuser]

i pretty much doubt that, since CIU is still very small and dedicated mp servers would need to be spread out across regions which will take a lot of money to host compared to the few main game servers

@InterAction_studios When would CI2U, CI3U, CI4U and CI5U DLC be released?
