Unending Galaxy has been updated to v1.1.0.2.
This second maintenance build fixes a majority of the issues that have be reported on the forums. The way the game loads and unloads has been reworked. As a result, you should no longer experience problems when loading savegames from a running session. It has also the side effect of reducing the initial loading time. The graphical library has been upgraded too, game menus should feel much more responsive, popups and tool tips should close properly when they are expected to. It may also fix problems for people experiencing graphical glitches. The error message when selling wares to a dock is gone too.
Feature-wise: a self-repair button has been added to your station setup menu. Hostile pirate raiders should no longer give pursuit across the whole galaxy. The “build” button allows you to select where to build your dock instead of assuming you want to buy it at the ship position. Finally, some tweaking has been done to balance ship part production.
All the new versions are available on the download page.
Additional details, including full changelog are available below.
This release is using a newer version of my development libraries and tools, it may or may not contain a few small and unexpected bugs. Be sure to report them on the forum. The main goal here is to check that everything is still working okay and try out experimental fixes for a couple of unusual bugs encountered by some of our forum members.
I will most likely publish another maintenance in a week or two. Then, work on next major release will start.
