Patch for v5.20

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Important! This is a database patch so if you upgrade you will lose your saved game. Don't upgrade if you want to keep playing the same campaign.

This patch can only be applied to version 4.2 or later. To apply the patch just unzip the Aurora520.zip into the installation directory, overwriting two files. As usual, please treat this as a beta release and don't put a lot of work into new campaigns for the next few days until I get chance to see initial bug reports. I have been playing almost 100% live poker for the last six months so my free time is fairly limited. Therefore it may take a day or two to respond to any problems with this release. Apologies in advance <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" />

The database contains my current campaign as an example game. Just delete it if you don't need it.

Dammit, I just knew I shouldn't have started a new campaign two weeks ago  

Seriously, though, thanks!

[waresky]

Woa!

thank Steve

[NickS]

As a new player just discovering Aurora, now is as good a time as any to express my gratitude.  Thank You!

Huh, you put in narrowband sensors after all? I thought you were just going to reduce the effect of resolution. Do they work as originally planned?

[laz]

I've researched narrowband sensors, now where are they on the create research screen?

Are you looking on the page to design active sensors?  If they're not there, then this probably means that Steve actually didn't put them in, rather he accidentally left an extra line in the researchable-techs table of the DB (similar to the maintainence-production-rate one that was confusing lots of people a few months ago).

You have to research Narrowband sensors first.

Well, i have in my first game with the 5.2 patch, but i don't see anything about it in the design panel for active sensors, nor a specific design for it. I have missed something?

By the way, thanks for this update of your excelent game Steve. Its free, and i have passed more time on it than most of the commercial ones i bought big bucks. Damn this game is addictive.

Ps: Sorry, my english is not very good, but it is not my first language.

I updated 4.91 to 5.14. I did the 'update to 5.14' thing ingame.
One day later I found out there already was a 5.20 Patch, so I installed that.
Weird thing is: the 'update to 5.14' option is still available from the dropdown menu.


Also, indeed, the narrowband sensors seem not to be in the game, except for the research line. I've researched it as well, but there's no option to be seen anywhere in the sensor design window.

Oh forgot to mention, I did use the 5.10 patch on 4.91 first, before updating it to 5.14

[Kaiser]

Hi, I've a problem...
with 5.20 patch when I add same sensors, for example 2 geological survey sensor and 1 other sensor or I add armor rating, the "brief summary display" in class design page, disappear. With 5.14 it work very well instead.

My order of installlation is:
1)setup.exe
2)extract 4.91
3)extract 5.10
4)extract 5.14
5)update 5.14 by click.
6)extract 5.20

How can I resolve this problem?

[waresky]

Ciao Kaiser.

penso sia un BUG.

hai postato anche nella sezione bug?

Unfortunately, although I removed narrowband sensors I forgot to remove the tech system. You can ignore it as it has no game effect.

The update to 5.14 shouldn't be there but I forgot to remove it. You can upgrade directly from v4.91 to v5.20.
