Update to Version 1.2 Live

Hi Folks, I wanted to thank you for bearing with me as I track down lingering issues in the 1.2 Patch. It's been a big process upgrading to Unity 5 because not everything works the same in Unity 5 as it does in Unity 4, and StarDrive 2 is a huge game with a lot of places for things to go off the rails. So I am sincerely grateful for your patience and your feedback, and I'm working hard to knock out any issues as you report them. I'm patching these fixes right into 1.2 today - the version number won't update on your end, but when you see SD2 download a little something something today, it's just patching these fixes in: [list=1]

Fixed an issue where beam weapon sounds weren't being mixed properly in 3d (so they were always a flat volume regardless of distance to the camera)

Fixed an issue where the Draylok Battleship could be invincible

Found some excellent performance enhancements for the combat map

Fixed an issue where fighters that lost their mothership were not properly being removed from play after a while; this should fix any issue where you had a tough time mopping up after a battle

Fixed an issue where combat in orbit of Toxic planets would not have the proper planet appearing in the background

Pre 1.2 saved games should work now

Swapped out the materials on a number of planets that would appear in the battle map. We'll have a number of prettier planets now.

Fixed an issue where a fleet could engage a fleet that was far away from it if it was close to it relatively recently; the fleet was not updating its list of known nearby contacts.

Fixed a rarer bug that could cause the game to become unresponsive - like you couldn't close a quest window or progress the turn

Fixed an issue where subspace projectors were not properly applying speed bonuses
