AfterWorld Survival Forum

* New skills activiation.

This fix is mostly for newcomers without any progress on skills, so nothing fancy.

Another problem - many players can't make post on forum

Can they see the forum? Login? Read?
Any error messages or something that could help us to resolve the problem? Are they able to post a new ticket to helpdesk?

AfterWorld: Survival has been updated to version C220.

Changes/fixes:

• Fixed a couple of visual issues with female avatar
• Fixed saving customized key bindings
• Improvement in loading object in the background
• Implemented new shader caching mechanism which should increase the overall responsiveness of the game
• Fixed a couple of visual bugs on terrain at certain territories
• Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause a crash
• Implemented advanced error handling to catch errors and bugs without hard crash
• Minor optimization of the terrain and forest rendering (at big distance)
• Minor improvement to the network code for connections with big latency (e.g. from "another side of the world")

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
We was able to replicate that crash (finally!) on one of our test PCs, so thats a "good news".

As soon as we locate what is causing, we will release a patch with a fix.

Lately, we have received a couple of similar reports about runtime errors.

We would like to get some feedback on this.

Please post here your findings and select appropriate options on the pool.

The main points:
What OS are you using.
If running Windows XP - do you have Service Pack 3 installed. Do you have installed all latest Windows Updates.
If running Windows 7 - are you on "x64 Edition" or the regular 32-bit Windows? Do you have installed the last "Platform Update for Windows 7" (KB2670838)?

AfterWorld: Survival has been updated to version C218.

Changes/fixes:

• Scanners are now remembers used frequencies before it got closed (valid until game restarted)
• Scanners are now remembers the last found resource (non-claimed) (valid until game restarted). It is now possible to close the scanner and use weapon/HK (if needed) and return to the interrupted mining session
• Scanners are now showing the distance to the resource location (see poll)
• Disabled sound effects from the extractors until a proper fix is implemented (was bugged and caused problems)

The poll:
Do you need that "distance hint" for the resources you have found?

AfterWorld: Survival has been updated to version C217.

Changes/fixes:

• Added SNIs for the new skills (from C216)
• Fixed "loot icon", so it now properly shows the looted amount, not the total from the inventory
• Fixed how the lat/lon coordinates are displayed on Map Control Panel
• Fixed the bug when the state of "Caps Lock" key was ignored
• Fixed displaying the price at the Storage Rent Terminal when renting a new one or extending the current
• Enabled "underground mining". All available resources are now can be found by using scanners and extractors.
• Minor improvement on processing objects' collision with terrain

P.S. This post will be updated when we finish updating servers and upload the patch.
Edit: Servers online.
