Ahoy Pathfinders,

In our continued effort to make Atlas the best game possible, we’ll be deploying another maintenance patch to tackle many of the latest issues you’ve reported regarding the last major update.

The servers will be going down to deploy the update tonight, 11/16 at around 7:00 PM Pacific Time.

We are still working on getting the playatlas.com website up and running again. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience on this manner.

While not complete, we are grateful for all the feedback we’ve received from the community and ask for your continued assistance in making Atlas the best it can be. As always, we appreciate your support and ‘til next time, may your skies be clear, waters calm, and sails full in whichever way you roam.

Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! :)

New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.752_Pathfinding_Efficiency

In the past, whenever I've talked about the efficiency of pathfinding, I've universally been speaking about CPU usage or "number of paths calculated per second" or something along those lines. This time, I'm talking about RAM efficiency -- how much RAM is used, how it gets reused, and so on. We do a lot of pathfinding on a lot of threads for a lot of reasons, and that data can be absolutely enormous if we're caching it for too long. Similarly, in the past, we've had major CPU load caused by not caching it enough.

What I've done at this point is kept the caching to the level of "this current slice of time for this thread," whatever that means. Sometimes it means "this frame" when we're talking about the UI. A lot more frequently, it means "this simulation step," when it's something for the simulation itself (aka, for 100ms). Even vastly more frequently, it means "this run of long-range-planning operation," which is something that happens intermittently for each faction every few seconds and lasting for usually part of a second, but up to several seconds if need be.

The TLDR is that the amount of CPU computation should be roughly the same as before, but the RAM usage is reduced by around 300ish MB on midsize games with a fair number of factions in a slightly larger than average galaxy. It may also be a fix to yet another memory leak, but I can't be certain. It is a solution to an annoying thread-contention issue that I still don't understand the full nature of, but have decided to work around in this particular case by just making everything so much more efficient in the first place.

This build sees a number of other bugfixes, and more of SirLimbo's AMU settings being implemented into the base game as options.

More to come soon.
Enjoy!
