SEV Beta History starting V1.0

[Baron Grazic]

Thanks for posting this SJ.
A good list of fixes, but the one that surprises me is 13. Fixed - Right-clicking on the Victory Conditions would cause an error.
Someone finished a game, and found this error? :-)

22. Fixed - The game now stores each empires specific screen layout and restores it on their turn.
23. Fixed - In a Simultaneous Same Machine Game with only 1 human player, there's no need to show
the Login window.

It's like he read my email!

Can the beta testers give some details on "8. Fixed - Speed up for computer player combat." ? How significant a speed-up are we talking about here?

1.15 has to be my favorite update thus far.

[Phoenix-D]

It'll be hard to tell, because some of the other fixes related to slowdowns as well.

[Raapys]

True, but are we talking like 'even faster than before 1.13' turn processing, or just 'improved 1.13 turn processing'?

[Captain Kwok]

Some good fixin's.

Thanx for the info. Is this patch still on track for release on the 20th or so? I'm planning on starting a new game with the Balance Mod, but I'll wait until tomorrow if the patch is actually due out.

Thanks!
