Version 2.828 is now available for download. As usual, the installer can also be used to update older versions of the game. It can be downloaded here:
http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... nloads.htm
This update includes the following improvements:
- 3D radar updated to reflect distance as well as direction via blip size scaling based on proximity.
- AI controlled capital ship pre-jump point placement scanning accuracy increased to reduce potential jump point collisions.
- Under certain conditions while travelling in deep space, a station license for a player built station could be lost, now fixed.
- Certain contract actions in multiplayer could result in effects on single player reputation levels, now locked.
- Rotation input adjusted to provide a more linear result throughout the full range of variable control.
- Variable input control reversed for inertial forward/reverse thrusters and aligned for linear input.

Very much appreciate the last one.
Though the toughest part must have been point 3.
If there would be the term "improbability-bug", this one surely deserves the predicate.
Great job.

I can't download.

But - I had connection problems to the web site off and on last week or so and a trace route showed a hop down in the path.
(it was affecting other sire for me also).
but try a tracert to the main site and see if you see any problems (timeouts).

I had this too, some days ago with a beta built of 2.828, that's why I started to use a downloading software, to be able to resume a suspended download. But this time it's worth, I can't even start the download. I'm just thrown between these 2 links:
http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... nloads.htm
and when clicking the download button I land here:
http://www.starwraith.com/index.htm
and from here I click "download the game" and land on
http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... nloads.htm
again, ad nauseam. The downloader isn't even running. Hard to believe it's only me...

Its ok I'v got it going now.
worked as soon as I disabled "internet download manager".
Which was strange because the same link works fine with IDM on my other computer.

Same here, but with FDM which is pretty new to me. I suspect that probably 2 instances of FDM where running cause when I thought I had disabled it the download finally started: with FDM active!

This build has been updated to fix a value mismatch in the text.dat file (line 1133). You can either download the update as a whole, or a replacement text.dat file is available in this thread: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11409
The Steam version has also been updated and will auto-update next time you log on if you are using the Steam version.

I assume this is the line where 15 should be changed to 25?
Yup ... okay ... just now went to the link (at first I thought it was a DL link to the .exe file).
