Over the last two weeks we've made some meaningful improvements to the game's networking performance, which should be of benefit to everyone, and particularly for people on higher pings and slower connections.

If you'd like to learn more about what we did, you can read the available Forum Post on the subject.

We announced the 32bit Windows client was being deprecated a few years ago, but the new 64bit version is now getting close to broader testing.

Initially, the new version will have some modest improvements, like an all-new high performance patching and launch system, faster load times and some usability benefits.

In the longer run, however, this Test program will be evaluating a lot of new technology for the next-generation game renderer and engine updates.

For anyone interested in Testing the new version, please check out the related General Forum post for more information.

We've shipped 27 major patches since the last Newsletter in April, and about 35 total this year. This includes a number of substantial quality of life improvements:

• Mission-based NPCs no longer aggro if the ship they're defending is hit with a repair gun.
• Fixed issue with changing Capship Access rights not being applied to all of a player's capships if they are in the same sector.
• Fixed issue with ship collision responses against the turrets of other ships (being exploited to forcibly move player capships).
• Updated/improved localizations for Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, and German.
• Fixed issue with restored character missing capship access keys.
• Mission list filter setting is now saved per-character, and defaults to 'All' for new characters.
• MacOS updates including threaded shader loading, third-person improved fixes, other bug fixes already released on other platforms.
• Fixed issue with the MacOS version crashing on ARM macs running in Vulkan fullscreen mode.
• Buddy location sharing is now off by default for new buddies.
• Buddy and Guild invites now expire after 30 days and cannot be re-sent for 7 days after expiration or rejection.
• Guild invites now continue to be available for acceptance for the entire 30 day period, persisting across player logoff.
• Buddy and Guild invites are only sent once while the invite is active for a given character.
• The Ignore feature now blocks Buddy and Guild invites from ignored characters.
• 2D box selection around group members on the HUD is now yellow for easier visibility.

..Plus a great deal more in bugfixes and other tweaks.
