AfterWorld Survival C212+C213 release notes [2013-01-10]

[AW "Dr.Butler" SSB Officer]

AfterWorld: Survival has been updated to version C212.

Changes/fixes:

• Fixed all "NE" (Newcomer Edition) items, so it can now be repaired and moved to the storage
• Made some adjustments/fixes to some tutorial messages
• Fixed critical issue, which was causing server to crash under certain circumstances (including the Teleport usage by TravelBot)
• Fixed the check for maximum activated level when trying to extract skills to SNI (was checking for level 9 instead of level 10)
• The "Skill Advancement Terminal" is now using correct texture/label
• Added button to PDA to check how many clones left in reserve (if less than 10 clones left, an additional message will be shown on login)
• Blocked ability to call for resurrection while in Medical Room (clone recreation center)
• Updated messages when clones are purchased (for yourself and for friend)
• Feature: If you click on someone's name in chat while having Shift button pressed, the citizenship ID is added to the chat edit box and it will be auto-replaced with the name when sent.
• Added an additional check for Video Card compatibility during startup, so the additional message is shown if the Video Card doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements. This is to prevent a silent crashes during game startup
• Updated/renewed grass/flowers/etc textures

Notice:
The Participation Agreement will be updated with the release of next update, at the time when the "bonus items" will be given out.

P.S. As we have found a big issue, decided to release an update to version C213. The changes included with the patch:

• Fixed a critical issue, which caused BSOD on some computers running Windows 7 without SP1 (very rare case)
• Fixed "Low" quality mode, so it now renders the world in a more "correct way" than it was before
• Corrected some typos in the NPC dialogs

FPs went from 47 to 57 for me. 

and did you turn up the mob meter.  10 mins in game and it seems nmuch nicer spawns of mobs

[Hugo "Lossehelin" Santos]

well done. hopefully the stability will be good enough so that you can focus in adding new features

[Nicholas "Razz" Zern]

Indeed, Fps. Mine is up to 80+ currently. max 255, min 70,2. Fluid as ever!
Good Job!

By the way, in one of the recent updates we have introduced an ability to "limit FPS" via Options Control Panel (a special technique to provide a smooth game play when FPS jumps from low to very high).
If you have power-full enough Video Card and don't want it to be too hot (our engine renders as fast as possible without limit by default), you set a limit manually.
Choose the most suitable for you. Actually, having 30 FPS is more than enough to have a good and smooth picture.

Yeah PC dose not heat up so much works good.. well done good job

[dale "dalewj" ofj]

 i have been using AWS to heat my house this winter.  Ahhh maybe ill have to buy some wood now   excellent option

First i was excited then dissapointed; i'm glad that fps increased for everyone else, but for me it went down.. C211 i had 21 fps outside, 31 fps inside. C212 i have 12 fps outside, 21 fps inside.. i suppose its been a miracle AWS works on here (its a laptop) and a 5yr old one at that, but it is strange to me.. hm idk. I will need to get a PC sometime, but i don't know when that will be.
