1.5100x Update in Beta

Jam updated the game engine. It is under unstable presently on Steam. Please post issues here.

After playing for about an hour the game became unresponsive for a few seconds and then unloaded itself.

It happens when I arrive at one of my colonies or OSBs. The Colony/OSB box at the bottom of the screen appears, but clicking on it does not give a response and then the game unloads itself.

This is a problem I have experienced with v1.5008 as well.

The label space for the Colony/OSB name is sometimes blank; appearing as a black rectangle. It happens randomly as far as I can ascertain.

Mining beam is still very difficult. Jam is looking at this.

Any changes from 1.5008 that we should test?

I had this happen today after a jump from Ceres to MP. Got weird graphics during jump then it crashed and shut down.

Is that similar or different from your crashes?

New build will be up shortly. Seems to carry over the 1.5008 stuff. So everything needs to be looked at as we go.

1.51002 comes with option to turn off bloom, makes it so much better:

Left side is bloom off, rigth is with it on.

For me that is a great improvedment, I will probably switch from 1.4 to 1.5 now.
Would prefer the fog around the ligth sources also gets removed, but that is not as big an issue for me

Mining in 1.51002, bloom off. Mammoth MB 11 in Veritas:

This is a screen where temp is 2005, but some of the blue area is pasted on from a picture where temp was 2160, and blue color is excatly the same. You can see crosshair is off where the split is

I had no weird graphics, everything looked normal. Took me by surprise that clicking the OSB button failed. Then shut down with no message.

This used to happen on my old machine and I thought it was a memory thing, but me new machine (2 weeks) has 2GB more memory so probably not that.

Having spent a couple of hours roaming around my colonies and OSBs I thought that the random gas skimming had been fixed, but a short trip to TC17 to install Computer and Electronics modules at the TC16 gate proved otherwise, sadly.

This may make this difficult to fix as now it does not seem to happen close to the Inner 9 system, maybe; all of my colonies are within 100ly or so of the Inner 9.
