World War One: La Grande Guerre 14-18 - Game Update - v.1.0.8q Gold Edition - Download

version: v.1.0.8q Gold Edition

[Version 1.0.8q]

*************

New features:

>> PBEM play mode now generates a PBM file every time the game is saved. This file contains the informations about local player. So, every time PBEM players must share a common SAV file because the game went out of synch, they are no more requested to modify the SAV file because the driver informations are stored in the PBM.

>> Updated the PBEM Manual PDF accordingly.

The purpose of this new features is to allow a "host-client" PBEM play mode: a host is designated among players, he is the only player who executes the end-turn procedure and saves the game, then he sends the .SAV and .MAP to all clients.

Improvements:

- Game updated to version 1.4.0 of irrKlang sound library

- Added some outstanding rendering performace improvements in map window

- Only HQs and GHQs are now displayed in the mini-map

- Major Land Battle AI is now more reluctant to retreat when one combat flank is won

(*) AI is now much more reluctant to play negative or self-killing events

- Large river crossing tests (performed during movements) are now automatically successful because they caused loss of synchronization in PBEM or Multiplayer mode

- Added memory lock checks in game audio engine to avoid crashes caused by memory access concurrency conflicts

- Corrected the picture of Turkish general Nureddin Pasha, commander of the 4th army in 1914

(*) Scenario corrections:

- Fixed the Event "England delivers Sultan Selim and Reshadieh battleships to Turkey" (FRA_003)

- The 'Strikes' and 'Nationalist Agitations' Events cannot occur anymore before 1917

- Added 'Mutinies' Event for France and Italy, it cannot occur before 1916 and has little chances to occur before 1917

- Fixed the Event 'Commercial submarine "Deutschland" arrives in Baltimore' wrongly scripted (not mandatory)

Fixed bugs:

- Fixed a rare bug in land battle AI that caused an infinite deploy/undeploy loop in case of major battle when 3+ corps were deployed on one flank and only 1 corps on the other flank

- RP stock level is now downgraded by one point when corps are eliminated during land battle after CR_Eliminated or MR_Eliminated results

- New PBEM mode now automatically sets the EventsDrawn parameter off (Turn section) when Clients load a shared PBEM SaveGame file

- Fixed crash in battle logs window

- Fixed bug in events loading procedure that made uneffective all die roll modifiers for event checks
