Early Access version 94

MAIN CHANGES

Two things to look out for in this update:

  • Your preferences have been reset in order to fix a memory corruption bug. (Preferences include: Galaxy hamburger menu (smooth zoom, notifications), Galaxy Overlay, tutorial messages)

  • Scoring for the Galactic Cup has changed: Winner always gets 100 points. Loser gets points proportional to scoring difference (loser’s score / winner’s score). The new scoring rules apply retroactively to ongoing Galactic Cup #4 (i.e., your points have been recalculated).

And, as usual, a slew of multiplayer enhancements.

You can read more about multiplayer here: 🚀 Multiplayer

Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. :warning: Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).

COMPATIBILITY

You will lose:

  • any in-mission progress
  • all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.

oh it’s 4 now

Glad to see this :smiley:


However, isn’t something wrong when you recaculate the points everyone get ? Due to the new way to caculate score, the maximum points a player can get when they play 20 matchs is 2000 score, not 2127 points :frowning:
