Hey all,

The open beta focused on network related improvements is now going live. Thanks to everyone who participated and thank you for all your feedback!

Changelog for update 33

Update size: 527.5MB

Network related

The update is focusing on network related changes
We now have network options in the start menu and ingame menu. One can choose packet throttling and compression. Packet throttling is good for those who have poor connections and want to reduce network overhead. Packet throttling is off by default. Compression costs CPU time but when enabled reduces the network traffic. The poorer the connection, the better the compression becomes. Compression is on by default.
Drop-in synchronization is 5 times faster.
We’ve optimized the use and size of the largest and most used network packets. Everyone wins thanks to this, no matter what type of connection you have.
To summarize, the changes will be better for those who have latency, packet loss or slow connections. The network related changes will also benefit those who have trouble-free connections.
