Patch notes: Ancient Empire hotfix, October 13
Update your client: the launcher downloads v1.2 automatically when you press Update.
Client stability
- Fixed a crash that could happen when your HUD changed while a right-click (radial) menu was open: switching ship stations, being incapacitated, traveling between planets, or quitting the game.
Starships and atmospheric flight
- Fixed ship stats (speed, armor, shields and others) sometimes showing as 0.0 after calling, storing or launching your ship, or after switching between ground and space.
- Your ship now keeps its correct stats after you board it from the ground.
- Call Ship now reaches your ship from up to 1000 m away (was 256 m).
- A parked ship now stays put when you log out or travel to another planet, so you won’t come back to a missing or duplicated hull.
- Behind-the-scenes fix that stops flight updates occasionally firing twice, for steadier flight and landing.
Quests
- Kashyyyk, Trandoshan line (Chawroo / Zssik): the Blackscale ambush could fail for good if you died, logged out or zoned during it, leaving the quest stuck. Talk to Chawroo again and the ambush restarts. Already stuck? Speak to Chawroo to pick it back up.
- Fixed quest encounters sometimes spawning further and further away from you when the first spawn spot was blocked. They now appear close by as intended.
Chat and mail
- Fixed chat channels, tells and in-game mail going down after a server restart or crash. Chat now starts and restarts along with the game server.
Server stability
- The server now detects a crash or a stuck startup and recovers on its own, and no longer gets stuck on startup while the database is still coming up.
- Login connections to the account server now time out and retry properly instead of hanging.
