Patch Notes 1.15

Here is the changelog for the 1.15 patch. I think many players will appreciate both the fixes and the additions, and it also holds some good stuff for modders. · Fixed an issue with the Fletchette cannon and other dual-purpose Anti-Ship/PD weapons not damaging ships as they should. · Increased the 'time-out range' of all weapons by 25%. You may have noticed your missiles exploding prematurely a…

Patch Notes 1.14A

This latest patch does a lot of tinkering under the hood of StarDrive. You should see substantially better performance memory-wise and in the late game. You should also see much better play out of the AI due to economic tweaks. Their Core Strategic AI remains unchanged - it should be quite tricky as is. But now their Economic AI is much better, which means they will have more ships and better s…

To help clear that up, we wanted to make a post here to confirm that StarDrive is, in fact, a feature complete and comprehensive 4x game that receives regular updates. If you want to follow our development progress, then you can jo…

ZeroSumGames: Developer's update

Hi folks. I pushed a small patch out with some stability fixes and a few balance changes. · Fixed a potential crash related to a multi-threading race condition. · Changed the way StarDrive looks for your config file; attempting to fix errors where SD says "Can't find file Windows/System32/Config.xml". Somehow SD can forget its local path so I am forcing it to remember. Hopefully. · Fixed an iss…
