5.605 Multiplayer Optimization

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.605_Multiplayer_Optimization This one has some notably new options for multiplayer, to allow clients that are over-saturated with data to basically do less diff-checking in the background and thus reduce the incoming traffic. This mostly applies to really heavy games with a ton going on in them, but Badger was able to get notable improvements (like 50% reduction in network traffic) with some of the options -- and then other times there was not really any improvement at all. So the options are there, with clients being able to try them out if they run into issues on a specific campaign, and we'll see how that helps. There are also many updates to the Sidekicks mod, and a couple of minor bugfixes. Enjoy!

What's New?

We still have a lot of work to do on the game, and we're undergoing some major work with our beta testers before heading to Early Access, but a lot is already awesome:

The game is crazy moddable.
It's multithreaded to take full use of modern computers.
The new 3D graphics are working out great.
The UI has already been dramatically improved by the introduction of a tabbed sidebar in the main view, and streamlining of several other mechanics that felt very difficult in the past. More to come, there.
We’ve got art for over 130 distinct units (not counting different mark levels), and there's more to come.
We’ve got over 1500 lines of spoken dialogue from more than 25 actors, focusing primarily on the human side at the moment; we have a few hundred lines of AI-side taunts and chatter, some of which is recorded but just not processed yet.
There are hundreds of high quality sound effects for a varied battlefield soundscape (with distance attenuation if you’re far away, and positional 3D audio if you’re down in the thick of it), all routed through a tuned mixer setup for optimal listening to all the various parts.
We have a set of music from Classic that is over four and a half hours long, and the new music from Pablo is partly in, but mostly set to be mastered and integrated within the next week or two.
There’s also a ton of map types, many of them new, and with a lot of sub-options to make them even more varied.
And a whole lot more.
