    Hello, Engineers! This week's minor release comes with some important general improvements. Issues fixed include a number of audio issues like wheel sounds playing even when a vehicle is not moving and choking sounds being heard by all players. Also, the Doppler Effect should now be heard correctly through your sound device of choice. Additionally, there’s some modding improvements; mods can now use WAV format audio instead of WXM.

    Also, the game will now pause when you open the steam overlay, and will properly ignore keyboard input while the overlay is open.

    Behind the scenes, the team is busy working towards some exciting major updates for the game as we approach the fourth year anniversary of Space Engineers. Stay tuned...

    Fixes:
    • fixed crash when players were attempting to render and fast moving ship with respawn station
    • fixed crash when modifiying their save .sbc files and attempting to go into setting in-game
    • fixed crash when certain Mech blueprints being destroyed would cause crash
    • removed certain ships from random encounters that cause sim speed drop
    • changed the large tube component model size
    • fixed loading screen background not scaling properly for all resolutions
    • fixed ESC button being registered when entering the steam overlay
    • fixed hitbox on astronaut being larger than intended
    • fixed GPS staying after looting the body before changing to a backpack
    • fixed blocks staying selected on DS when entering cockpit
    • fixed doppler effect not working for audio
    • fixed odd behavior for audio of first gatling shot not respecting distance
    • fixed grinder sound playing after grinding down block
    • fixed choking sounds being heard by all players
    • fixed wheel sounds playing despite the vehicle not moving
    • fixed audio files not being located for modded blocks
    Regarding decreased sim speed when using tools: This problem was already in the game for some time but was not visible due to other things. We are working hard on a fix but due to the difficulty of it we would like to ask players to be patient as the issue will be solved in the next Major update.

    I have heard of that by other players but haven't experienced it.

      This caught my attention, what makes those grids especially cause simspeed drop? Should not the root problem be solved? and not just removing those grids

    if i had to guess maybe the programmable blocks that gives them their low level AI has something to do with it.
    I've a feeling it might be the most biggest and most impressive ships for now might be gone. :(
    hope its not the mighty "Argentavis"

    From looking in the SpawnGroups file, It appears to be only;

    Armed Transport Charon (a note says it explodes on spawn)
    The Pilgrim's Curiosity (no note, but probably to do with the intrusion detection system it employed)

    I can imagine there are several problems like this in Space Engineers. Imagine them peeling back the layers of problems until they are able to put the ladder climbing animation back in 0_0

    Yeah, what the heck does this mean? Is it a fix for the projectors bugs currently plaguing the game, or something else?

    Fixes are always welcome, of course. Clarity even more so.

    The tools issue causes a Desync issue. also, can you all add a "if you ping is over a sertin amout you get auto kicked". i have people join with pings over 200ms and it causes the sim speed to just drop hard... Well back to crashing servers one at a time. but it doesnt seem to happen to everyone ro every server. LIke THE ONE THING USED TO PLAY THE GAME is the worse bug.... and it still hasnt been fixed why? can i get a refund?

    I'm hoping that will include some of the more popular and reasonable feedback suggestions.

    Oh, I patient.
    Also I don’t know if the problem from Steam or Space Engineers but for this moment is the single game have this problem. :
    I have many workshop subscribers (I download (mods and blueprints by example)) and when I edit settings’s world for edit mod list of a world and when I open blueprint list, I disconnect of Steam and the loading of mod list and blueprint list of workshop don’t load or there are loading but when I disconnect, I disconnect from the « server » (or other players of the game are show for me « players disconnect ») and defois the only way to fix is restart the game or Steam.
    Anyone have this or a problem similar ?

    From my experience with the EEM, it's ships with complex conveyor networks. But that may not be what they're referring to here.

    Hi, I think this is an issue with light round armor in symmetry mode, the round armor just can't get mirrored correctly. I and my friend have already had this issue for 3 weeks. I tried to remove all mods from a world and reinstall the game, but I still can't solve the problem.

    There seems to be a video on the major updates. I'm cool with that if the time saved goes into more inclusive list of optimizations and bug fixes. The more things listed, the more feedback on how well those changes were made.
    --- Automerge ---
    Edit.

    How about including the ships removed by name? There had to be a kill-list somewhere at Keen. Copy/paste?

    How many grids do you have in your game, and are you on a server?
