Update 1.888 is ready for download and includes the following improvements:
- Invincibility cheat now available in demo (create a pilot profile with the name imacheater).
- Object movement now time based for improved movement accuracy regardless of framerate.
- Faster missiles (200% faster) with greater ranges.
- Rare bug causing 'severe exception' error on some systems during startup fixed.
- Sometimes a score message was lost in multiplayer, now fixed.
- Current player score displayed when score message sent.
- MDTS auto-aiming gunfire accuracy improved when firing at a target from behind.
- Multiplayer scoring accuracy improved.
- Multiplayer reliability improvements.
The overhauled object movement system now provides more accurate gameplay in both single player and multiplayer, regardless of framerate. This improves gameplay accuracy in multiplayer substantially for players using slower systems. Players using old or low-end 3D video cards such as GeForce 2's, first generation Radeons, GeForce FX 5200's, or other similar hardware will experience much more accurate multiplayer gameplay in this latest version.
The game now automatically detects and corrects any invalid player ID situation. If player ID packets are lost, the game will automatically restore the ID's to maintain stability and integrity.
