Thanks for the frequent patches, and for listening to player feedback and bug reports! Just makes a great game better. Any word on when there will be more mod support in an upcoming patch? I understand bugs, AI, and gameplay are more important, just curious when I can look for that...
What I (as well as others I'm sure) really appreciate along with the frequent patches is the fact that CodeForce is taking our recommendations and implementing some of them in the game. That is quite unusual with most developers.
Keep it up guys, we really appreciate it! [&o]

Still no preformance fix.
UI still loads in "chunks", a button here, a button there. Still stutters when zooming or panning.
I give up on this game, hopefully a sequel will be built on an actual graphics engine that can handle 2d graphics without such issues as if it was 1991.

Sounds like you have computer problems.
I and most of the other players do not have the UI "load in chunks" problem.
Have you posted your computers specs? What video card used? How much on board video ram? Does it have pixel Shader technology? What resolution setting?
And the obvious question, have you updated you video card drivers?
If this was a common problem more players would be posting about it. Think about it.
Hope you discover What your problem really is, cause I doubt seriously it's the game.

Hey Erik,
awesome work with the patches so far. However, what bugs me most at the moment is that when I tell one of my fleets to patrol a system, they will do so and then stop after a while.
Am I doing something wrong? Because I would really like to be able to build a fleet that continuously patrols a certain system without me having to check up on it every few minutes. I think it would be an important step to make empire defense less heavy on micro management.

I also have this problem, on both my computers (quite fast ones as well). Posted about it some time ago. Also a major factor why I'm not playing at the moment... Especially the slow loading of the GUI bugs me!

I know this is on the list to investigate for 1.0.5.

It looks like heavy memory swap. Did you think about buying some more memory, or closing memory hungry apps? Perhaps close your antivirus while playing, or something ?

Exactly!
Too many programs running in the background eats up Memory and CPU usage. Close any app on the task bar that is not being used.
I work for an ISP provider and many trouble calls I go to the customer has the task bar filled with open apps and they claim my service is slow. I close 90% of their apps do a speed check and guess what? Their speeds and connection time improve dramatically. There is Absolutely no need for Multiple apps running in the background when most of them are only rarely used. You can only chat to so many ppl at once. [8|]

Try doing IT for a business. If it isn't 400 unnecessary apps running in the background, its the viruses they get opening personal emails at work. It's a nightmare...not uncommon to have to wipe and reload a couple of computers a month...management should put some policies in place.

I had to deal with that before... I was in a mid sized business where I became the de-facto IT...
Well, someone got a virus, and the virus was capable of spreading itself to any XP machine (they were all using XP at the time) on the LAN, instantly. No anti virus was capable of doing anything about it either...
I had to unplug all computers then manually purge each one. (that was actually surprisingly easy for that virus)... I imagine how horrible it would have been if it was a 400 computer network instead of 10 PCs and 10 Macs

I will start playing the game again with this update.
Im still pissed off with the blatant lie about how big the universe is and that we cant mod it to make it bigger.

Well, I find 1400(IIRC) is very big, and, I think, never seen before (or not by me). If it feels small to you, I think Matrix really finds it huge, and has reasons to, so it is not a lie, as lying is to say what you think to be false.

The size of the galaxy is quite small
The only thing that changes is the amount of stars inside it, not the size itself

Guys, this is the 1.0.4.9 update thread from a few months ago. Did you mean to post in the 1.0.6 thread?
