Update about upcoming version, 0.7.0.6!
Authentication
We are continuing work on fixing the account verification system, and with 7.0.6 there will be a fix for those SLG+Steam users who may have ended up with 2 players on a given server as a result of this bug.
Account Linking
We have disabled account linking for now while we continue investigating the issues it has been having. Previous SLG accounts can still login and play the game outside of steam for the time being, and we expect to re-enable this feature once 7.0.6 goes out the door.
Game Invites
If you purchased extra game keys from the SLG site and have still not been able to give them out, please contact support@strangeloopgames.com or Rain Farmer on discord and we can hook you up while we debug the issues around them.
Single Player
We are preparing a balance pass for single and low-player population servers, which allows for faster skill gain and different methods to gain skillpoints at an accelerated rate. This will make singleplayer much more viable and less frustrating, but also can be used on larger servers if you wish to have a shorter meteor time, for example.
Server Performance
This hotfix will also contain a number of performance tweaks to the server, to alleviate lag spikes that could occur when the simulation and other tasks were being computed. If you are a server operator and want this specific tweak early to test, please PM me on discord.
Connection Issues
We are continuing to look into issues players have connecting to both friend games and other servers. Most of these should be related to auth going down occasionally, but we also are improving the error handling and some of the guides for setting up a server to with fixes for some common issues.
Thank you for playing Eco and we look forward to seeing you in game!
