We've updated our UI system. The biggest feature is a new option in the settings that allows you to scale the UI up to 200% of its normal size. So if you're using a very high resolution or you want to play on your television you should be fine now.

Other improvements include:

• Better text input (copy & paste, navigation in text fields)
  
• Hotkey for “End Turn”
  
• Hotkey for “Display unit info permanently”
  
• Option to disable the auto chat-login

Let us know if everything works!


We had some performance issues on OpenGL Systems (Mac & Linux). We tweaked a couple of things and the performance should be noticeably better on all systems, but especially on Mac and Linux.

• High quality settings: Only minor improvements here
  
• Medium quality: You should notice a substantial performance improvement here
  
• Low quality: Substantial performance improvements
  
• (New) Very low quality: This is a new, very fast set of settings

On our low specs Mac test system the performance went up from ~15-20 fps to 30-40 fps in Medium quality. Depending on your system your experience may differ. Please let us know how the performance changed.

• AI for air raid defense turrets and guard towers fixed
  
• Fixed tooltip hide/unhide units
  
• The unit info now shows the amount of mines a unit carries
  
• Buildings no longer hinder movement
  
• Now units turn their turrets when attacking (where applicable)
  
• The "Next Unit" and "Sleep" Buttons no longer open the transporter screen
  
• Fixed a bug when a mine was deployed next to a hidden unit
  
• Fixed a bug where hidden units had been visible for the enemy while they were moving
  
• Fixed a bug when loading savegames from the main menu
  
• Loca updates for it, fr, es, rus
