Sandstorm v1.12 Release Notes: Improved UI, Ship Power Display & Badass Drones! | Forums

[Ubi-Deb]

This time round we've made some small improvements and fixes for a smoother Sand-Cruiser battle experience!

Improvements and additions

• Now you can monitor your ship's power and watch in egotistical pride as it grows stronger with each System change and upgrade!
• The soundtrack has been revised to bring you the best post-apocalyptic wasteland audio experience yet!
• Alytes' Kamikaze Drones Booster has been boosted to be even more deadly. No more Mr Nice Drone
• Know when to strike with each weapon! Battle UI has been enhanced to show each individual System's energy refilling

Bugfixes

• Fixed an invisible ship issue.
• Resolved a disconnection issue appearing under certain circumstances.
• Rectified some graphical issues which would make some ship parts invisible when rotating the ship in "gallery mode".

Extra fixes solved February 24th, 2016 (no app update required)

• Fixed an issue related to the ship parts customization that appeared when upgrading more than one level at the same time.
• Fixed another issue related to repair that appeared when the game lost connection or when the app went idle to the background.
• Fixed a bug with where Tesla type weapons weren't blocked by Shield type weapons under certain circumstances.
• Weapons Rage booster now always works properly when randomly selected after another Booster type in the same battle.

I notice 3 mayor bugs in pvp. 1. Opponents health stays at 100 percent graphically. 2. Drone system gets stuck in max out, so it won't spawn more drones. 3. Sometimes it doesnt even show if anything is hitting ur opponent. I don't know if that lag?

Thanks for your reports and welcome to our forums, Lordnag!

1, Yes, we are aware of this issue, and we're working hard to solve it as soon as possible.
2. We have an issue where when you deploy the maximum amount available of Attack Drones and use the Kamikaze Drones ship booster (the default one in Alytes and randomly available in other Sand-Cruisers when reaching certain levels) , the system gets stuck and doesn’t allow you to release more Attack Drones during this battle. We’re working on it, will be fixed in a future game update.
3. Yes, somtimes the game has a good amount of lag. It's because one of the players has a good amount of latency, probably because are playing through 3G (this type of Internet connections have way more latency than wifi) or because is saturating the bandwidth of his/her Internet connection with some other app or game, that is running in the background of the tablet or smartphone, or even in other device that uses the same wifi, like a computer, console or another tablet or smartphone.

Thanks again for helping us to improve the game!

Hi all! We recently solved a few issues in our servers (no app update required) :

• Fixed an issue related to the ship parts customization that appeared when upgrading more than one level at the same time.
• Fixed another issue related to repair that appeared when the game lost connection or when the app went idle to the background.
• Fixed a bug with where Tesla type weapons weren't blocked by Shield type weapons under certain circumstances.
• Weapons Rage booster now always works properly when randomly selected after another Booster type in the same battle.

I'll add them to the OP.
