v1.06

[dorn]

Thanks NWS team, there a lot of things addressed which where in past time suggested by various players.

The patch changes and fixes look quite good.

Thanks dorn

I know 1.06 took a good bit of time to get out but I hope players appreciate the changes and fixes. Thanks again.

Let me echo Dorn's thanks for the update - I've been looking forward to it!



I see in another thread you said it might be a good idea to start a new game due to some of the changes.  I *just* started a new game yesterday morning (before I knew an update was coming). I'm only in 1908, so heavier-than-air aviation hasn't been researched yet. Would you still recommend starting a new game?  I suspect the changes that you're referring to are the ones having to do with aircraft replacement and air bases....

[EDIT] Just realized I *have* already researched "Scouting Force", however.  Did Frederik ever figure out why they don't ever seem to be appearing for some people, and if so is there a fix for it in the update?  I didn't see anything about it in the release notes....

Thanks!
John

If your game is before air comes into play then you are not likely to have any serious issues I would think. Not sure on the 'Scouting Force' issue, Ill point Fredrik W to this post .

Thanks!!  

On Scouting Force, I think there's two threads in bugs; here's a link to one that has some screenshots: nws-online.proboards.com/thread/2381/scouting-force

I've done two full run-throughs now (1900-1955) and have yet to see a scouting force (including in 1.05b), and several others have reported the same behavior.

  While typing this I just had a thought: maybe it's got something to do with me starting at 1900.  That and the problem with invasions rarely launching (which were hopefully fixed in 1.06) are the two big pain points for me - other than that (and minor issues) I'm loving the game!

[EDIT] Looks like scouting force is still broken for me in 1.06.  Just spawned an invasion fleet battle in the Med (which shouldn't have happened given relative strength points) and have 3 BC in a non-scouting division.

Amazing job, guys. It's good to see that you are steadily improving an already great game. Also, thanks for listening to player feedback, really appreciating it!

Thank you. I've noticed the improvements already.

Good to know, since I just got the lighter-than-air tech category unlocked in one playthrough. I'll let people know if I run into any issues with it.
