Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.31 (Hot Fix) Change Log

from Sins Forums

Now available via the Impulse client - a hot fix for Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy that should resolve the reported issues with gameplay bugs.

 

Version 1.31

  • Fixed error with the TEC Envoy's Settlers' ability.
  • Fixed incorrect red/green coloring on several InfoCards.
  • Fixed several typos in the string file.
  • Lowered the speed and maximum for AI relationship bonuses.
  • Fixed the Shield Pact - it should now properly block phase missiles.
  • Fixed the Phase Pact so that allies can now use each other's phase lanes as intended.
  • Fixed AI error which caused enemy AI players to offer certain missions during Locked Team games.

 

Thanks to all of the feedback from those who reported issues with the v1.3 release of Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy.

Objects begin disappearing. I don't know, there is a thread by Sinperium that explains his problem. It could be unique for all I know. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/410576

I personally have no computer, as my comp died. May it rest in pieces. So I can't see for myself if his problem exists.

Anyways, before my comp died, it did something rather similar, and I attributed that to its failing nature. (For Diplo 1.21)

Maybe it wasn't unique.

TEC hangers now have 80 (was 40) base damage with the weapons ability upgrade

The AI build super weapons like mad now, and Really early =X 10 mins into the game and they have the super weapons? Vasari I could see, make 8 labs and get the tech, then spam the black market for credits

I know vicious and cruel, and perhaps unfair AI get a research speed bonus in addition their economic handicaps.

I had some troubles with movement around gravity well too: queer behaviour on route marking, not simple to explain. The problem was on 1.3 version, I have to check on latest version 1.31.

Basically I was on a planet, wanted to go to another one passing on a planet that had a connection with gravity well: the game marked the blue route between the starting planet and the mid one but, instead to continue to the final one, marked the route to the gravity weel, then the return to the mid planet and finally to the destination one.

The ships did not follow the marked path then, but went straightly from starting planet to the destination one crossing the mid planet without any jump to gravity well.

Hope it is clear: if not I can try to explain better the issue.

Aw shucks. You guys rock!

Since this hotfix I get a minidump error when the AI completes any attack planet mission I send them. This did not happen before the hotfix was released. Anyone else having this problem?

Oh, and if you are still going to update the hotfix Yarlen (which I certainly hope) please fix the upper two laser gun turrets on the Advents Relevation Class Battlecruiser cause they don't shoot(I will keep asking you to do this till it gets fixed :grin: )!!!

Reply #18 from Sins Forums Top

We won't be fixing the Revelation, so stop asking. :P

If you can reproduce your minidump with a save game, please zip up your dxdiag, save game and dump file and email it to sinssupport@stardock.com. Thanks. :)

Alright, i'll send it right away, thanx for your reply :)

-I've send it

-Already got a reply from the support team, they say they are looking into it :X

It appears the TEC Envoy still casts Worthy Cause on your own planets.

Odd. I still barely see superweapons from the AI.  Any AI.

Thanks for the huge update!

 

I still see the 5 second or so freeze (sporadic) when I complete a mission for AI even after hotfix. This freeze didn't exist pre-1.3. My guess is maybe the game is re-calculating possible missions after a mission is completed and that causes a delay?

 

The problem of AIs only bidding on you for pirates seems to be (mostly) gone after hotfix because of the AI relationship bonus nerf.

 

The thing is I never liked the concept of AI relationship bonus. For me it's just an AI cheat for no reason that breaks immersion. Do we even need the AI relationship bonus now that supposedly AIs can ally better? What is the purpose of a relationship system overhaul if we will still have an AI relationship bonus?  I think it should be removed because it kinda breaks the Diplomatic Victory game.

 

Reply #24 from Sins Forums Top

That it can make dilpomatic victory games harder is certainly true, but it is basically intended to keep human players from exploiting the AI's lack of beneficial relationships with other players (so now the human player will not be able to become friends with all AI players and let them fight it out).

It kind of adds to the game I think  :)

Reply #25 from Sins Forums Top

I know why it's there. I am just saying it (technically) should be unnecessary given AI players can ally with each other which is what this update attempted to achieve. AI players aren't at an inherent disadvantage compared to the human player except that they are AIs.

 

Extra challenge is nice but extra challenge through a cheat isn't so nice unfortunately.
