Thank you everyone who took part in PtaQ’s test event. Your participation and feedback was a huge help to us in ironing out issues before we launch the new engine. New engine release candidate (rc6) is ready for testing. Please feel free to give it a try and let us know how it goes, good or bad. This is your chance to check the game will run well for you before this gets released.

Updates since 2072:

Fixed: Units sometimes had a brief pause when they were given a new move command.
Fixed: Units would stutter regularly when following other units, i.e. with the guard command.
Fixed: Units would on occasion appear to perform a loop or veer off course for a moment before continuing their path when given a new move order or when following another unit.
Fixed: Units could get stuck on terrain while skidding on slopes.
Fixed: Ships could get stuck on shores.
Fixed: Units could give up and stop moving too early if they were given a move target that wasn't reachable.

You can test the latest release candidate by selecting “Engine Test”, under Config, on the Launcher, click Update, then click Start.
