Nick Thomadis Posted Wednesday at 03:49 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:49 PM Hello all, We usually offer betas prior to the release of a major patch which includes new ships and 3D content. Now we make an exception because we have prepared something that should please the majority of the game's community, The most frequent complaint of players was the occasional long loading times in the campaign. So we have addressed just that. Please read: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1069660/announcements/detail/4678766374094571649 You can place your feedback in this thread or on Steam. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a marked improvement in campaign loading times. the pre-made designs are another matter entirely... it would be nice to be able to paste these into the shared designs so I could make them better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an excellent idea. Only problem is the PSPACKED_(year) files are binary blobs and thus not moddable, which means that this whole system is incompatible with any mod that touches parts/techs/balance/whatever, because the designs only work for vanilla part weights, vanilla shiptype data, vanilla tech stats and tech<->year mapping, etc. At the very least, please store these in json in the TextAssets so that modders can edit the ships. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Северная Posted yesterday at 04:39 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:39 AM I am pleasantly surprised with this branch. It took 34 seconds to load a 1930 campaign and each turn went by instantaneously. The battles are much smoother. I can actually play the game beyond 1920 now. Really well done man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuikaku Posted yesterday at 06:20 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:20 AM It's now much harder to do some stunts that worked before in battle. Nice improvements! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted yesterday at 06:26 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:26 AM I started a game in 1890 on Hard as Great Britain with auto generated designs and have no Battleships. I suspect the issue is that the design the game has generated (14200) is larger than my capacity to build (13500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) More performance is very welcome, but is it possible to add (for us modders and mod users) an ability to toggle the new pre generated ships off? We can then make our own pre-generated ships through the existing shared designs feature without fear of vanilla designs getting into the mix.

Only one AI nation in 1907 has BB/BC in my game (Italy). The Soviets ONLY have TB. It’s very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have it in our mind to do, yes, once we stabilize the beta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Ive started another game as GB in 1890 and this time I do have Battleships. In this case the generated design is 12800 tons with a capacity to build up to 13500. My other game has reached 1900 but Ive submitted a bug report as certain nations still dont have any BB's according to the politics screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougToss Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago This was a great opportunity to have the AI at least start with realistic ships that closely follow historical designs, maybe even per country, but these are... not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw62 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Performance has definitely improved. Formations are Borked, however. Ships in reverse order or all scrunched together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have it in our mind to do, yes, once we stabilize the beta. I made an in-game report, and I’ve replicated the issue three times. After the AI gets rid of their starting BB, they go into a mode of not making any. They focus on TB in particular, like it is not unusual to see them with 150 TB and a few cruisers, or sometimes they do cruiser spam. But I have had it where there is not a single BB among them.

Zuikaku Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Crew training is now much more costly than before. It is even far more costly than research. Is that intentional? Maybe that is hampering AI from building battleships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t understand this post until it just happened to me. I loaded into a battle and the ships “exploded” from being balled up together, all going off in different directions and trying to recover. It was a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im seeing the same plus sometimes ships in the same Division start over a thousand metres apart. Ive made an in game report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
