Distant Worlds 2 March 18 Patch Notes – Official
CRASH FIXES
– fixed rare crash when rendering empire territory
– fixed rare crash when scrapping advanced ship with tech bonus, but your empire has not yet researched a relevant project
– fixed rare crash when calculating military ship strength
– fixed rare crash when evaluating threats to a ship
RENDERING CRASH HANDLING
– more graceful recovery when texture or vertex buffer creation fails due to display adapter crash, reset, or change in performance mode. This should greatly reduce the number of DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crashes
DIPLOMACY
– improved diplomacy so that relations now more likely to rise to higher levels (top-level treaties) when you work at improving relations with a faction. Remember that you can directly set diplomatic strategy per faction, which will also help improve relations (Befriend, Ally, Close Ally)
FLEETS AND SHIPS
