Open beta patch available

Post by adherbal »

Beta patch 1.7.5 is ready to be tested. Note that this IS a beta patch so if you install it you must accept that it there may still be some bugs remaining. If you encounter any, please report them in this thread.

This beta patch uses the test server for MP games. This means you cannot play or continue any games on the live server after installing this patch. However we encourage you to engage in multiplayer games with this beta to test the new features and multiplayer map.

You can find the installer here:

http://www.slitherine.com/files/Orderof ... -1.7.5.zip

This installer should install the game into your game folder where you originally installed the game into.

For Steam users: The installer will attempt to install to the default Steam folder. If you have Steam installed in a different folder,you need to manually navigate to that folder.

The changelog for this patch:

- Custom camouflage skins for ground vehicles: Accessible through the unit information panel.
- Access to DLC manager in the main menu: Click the wooden crate icon in the top right corner.
- Captured units can now be repaired, but only at 1 strength point per turn.
- Spanish language added
- Bunkers and MG Foxholes can no longer be constructed adjacent to an enemy ground unit
- Mines can no longer be placed on exit points
- When upgrading an aircraft stored in a carrier, it can no longer take off during the same turn

- Strategic map has been temporarily disabled until it has been properly optimised (less memory consuming).

Thanks a lot for your support!

I'm running the Steam version. I found a graphics bug, do you guys have another thread for bug reports? Sorry but, I'm just feeling too lazy to look today.

I don’t want to install the beta patch, but I’m curious if you have fixed the switched icons in 1.7.0 of the ships where land-mechanised attacks have the submarine icon, instead of the gearwheel. The torpedo attacks of submarines got the mechanized icon.

while it says it found the default steam install, which is on D drive for me, it hasn't altered the build number and instead has made a new folder on the C drive, where steam isn't installed even, no worries will copy over manually
