Fixed threading-related issues that happen while playing a very big game on a very fast machine.
does that address zoom lag ?

Installing this beta from a fresh Legends install stops the game loading for me. I reverted back to v1.7 base Legends install and it loads fine. Where can I get v17016beta as v17018beta stops the game loading for me.

[Edit: Using the built in updater recognises v17016 as an official patch and should install it. The updater didn't work for me so I downloaded the patch from here: http://www.matrixgames.com/products/415/downloads/]

This has been redone, continuing to address crash issues with faster machines and larger maps.

Question to anyone who can answer:

I have yet to install Public Beta v18.
Must I install Public Beta v18 BEFORE Public Beta v19
OR
Can I simply install Public Beta v19 alone?

The beta patches, like the official ones, are comprehensive, so you don't need to install v.18 before installing v.19.

Thank you [:)]

Here is to hoping the UI (like the G for galaxy map) receives some bug fixes and straightening out when Shadows arrives.

Sounds good. It also seems like shadow polish is making its way into legends.

Public Beta v1.7.0.20 doesn't work for me either. When I click on the shortcut to start the game nothing happens. Same as the Public Beta v1.7.0.18.

I have reverted to v1.7.0.16 and the game loads again.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue? I have tried selecting "run as administrator" to no effect.

no, sorry. Updated with no issues here.

Menues are great. Loads and updates content fast.
Would I be correct in assuming that character window is unchanged? Drop-down boxes still flicker on that one...

However; Zooming the main view feels slower and possibly stutters more than before - anyone else experiencing that or is it just me imagining things?

Seems about the same to me. Hard to tell because zoom settings reset each patch though.
