PON Public beta patch 1.04 June 10th

[PhilThib]

Nope, the one I have is correct, and I patched the game with the 24th May patch. Weird....What I fixed should read

Anyway, found an issue. Use the enclosed files (copy paste them into the events folder)

[Offworlder]

Raise up one notch the 'max texture size' setting. If you don't crash, that's good!

Sorry no can do. The setting on 'max texture size' is stuck on the third button and cannot be moved in any way for some reason. (the same with the 'memory usage' buttons)

[crowfeathers]

Thanks for continuing to support this game. Sadly, I have the same problem as Offworlder. wrt:

Raise up one notch the 'max texture size' setting. If you don't crash, that's good!

My game won't let me adjust this setting (up OR down!). And when I tried to change it in the general.opt, it didn't stick either!

For whatever reason, it seems to be ignoring the memory settings, both max texture size and the memory usage itself.

[Pocus]

Problem spotted, I'll fix it and include PhilThib fixes to event.

[bri_bates]

I believe this is a memory issue, I see to many files rotated out of memory, even tiny files and that's not normal. What is your memory setting in the option window?

Also, are you playing a new game? The patch is not save compatible because of all the changes.

It was a new game, I just cancelled most of my sales then hit end turn.

The memory setting was at 10% and large as those check boxes aren't working to adjust. My system should easily handle bumping up both of those as I have 32gB RAM (4gB on graphics card Nvidia GTX 980M)

The crash only happened the one time though and if I remember correctly it was the first start after applying the updated patch.

[V for Vegas]

Awesome - downloading now!

[crowfeathers]

Problem spotted, I'll fix it and include PhilThib fixes to event.

I'm curious -- what is causing the problem?

[Pocus]

The even missed a conditions command, so the conditions listed were ignored.

[V for Vegas]

New game with 24 May patch.

Executed 1 turn as UK. Saw lots of sea zones like this

I believe I understand the issue here, thanks.

IF you have events fixes, please contact PhilThib by PM rapidly.

[V for Vegas]

Ah OK that is what was mention earlier in the thread.

I am also getting an immediate crash if I press the SHIFT key.

[crowfeathers]

Ah OK that is what was mention earlier in the thread.

I am also getting an immediate crash if I press the SHIFT key.

Yeah, the shift region path crash still happens in the most recent patch for me too. But seeing as a new patch seems to be incoming I think we should wait and see what happens

[bri_bates]

Ah OK that is what was mention earlier in the thread.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm seeing in sea/coastal zones although yours appear to be a bit more extensive on the yellows...

[crowfeathers]

Well, is there any way to fix the problem on my end? I would like to play PON!

[Pocus]

Yes, we are publishing the new beta patch to Wars of Napoleon today and there will be a new beta patch for PON this week, hopefully today or tomorrow.

[V for Vegas]

Great to see patches for this on the 5th anniversary of its release!

[Pocus]

Patch underway!

[Pocus]

New patch, see first post!

[V for Vegas]

Looks good. Franz Ferdinand event gone. Sea zones back to normal. Shift key crash fixed.

[bri_bates]

Sent a diplomat to request state visit to France (as Belgium), in turn report I got : 1/43: strContentiousMatter20

This is still happening.

[Siegfroh]

The missing tooltip strings pointed out in post #18 above are still missing.

Another thing which needs to be adjusted is the information displayed in the diplomacy screen. I opened an old game and can't see to whom I did promise local support or whose head of state had been visiting me. The line is just cut and vital information lost (OK, I could find out by checking individual countries and see whether the treaty in question is still available, but that is awkward). The tooltip doesn't help either:

[ATTACH]39089[/ATTACH]

As a workaround, maybe you could gain more space be eliminating the useless info ... 13/22, 14/22 ... etc. and leave away the recurrent "Austria" as the frst part of the info.

Thus 15/22 Promise Local support Austria > [giveaguess] would become a completely displayed Promise Local support > Whoever, the symbols > or <> still would indicate whether it is mutual or one-sided treaty or effect.

Another very useful addition to the diplomacy screen would be to add a feature that we can put together our own individual list of countries which we want to have displayed. Those in which we are currently particularly interested for whatever reasons, so that, looking for example for Turkey, I won't have to scroll through all the states listed under the tab "Unorganised" ever and ever again, but can just click on the tab "MyChoice" and see all my direct neighbours or whomever I had temporarily assigned to this list.

All the bugs I had been suffering have now been solved. Good job!

The turn time is still super long ofc but that's just PoN I guess

[Pocus]

Yes sadly even if the game got some speed up since last official patch. I'm glad the major issues are now gone. We will see if we can fix the others minors issues reported before closing for good this patch, it has been a long wait for many players.
