Note on Game Patch

Dynasties of India DLC Support

Performance

• • Major and minor CPU optimizations throughout the application.

• • Game speed should no longer drop as much when using CA:DE on larger games.

• • Selecting a large number of units at the same time has been significantly optimized.

• • It is now possible to use CA:DE with Age II minimized. When Age II is minimized it uses less GPU and therefore performance in CA:DE may be improved in some cases. By default CA:DE will now automatically minimize Age II when you focus the CA:DE window. This behaviour can be turned off in the main Settings tab.

• • By default CA:DE will now use more GPU memory if available. This value can be changed with sliders in Graphics settings.

• • Reduced RAM usage in some conditions.

• • Significantly reduced RAM usage when watching games with AI players.

• • Reduced and in many cases eliminated periodic stutters.

Chat & Event Log

• • Added unit trained, research complete, monk conversion and attack notifications.

• • Chat/Events can now be filtered - use Page Up to see the available filters. Left Click on a filter button to toggle that category on or off, Right Click to select only that category and turn off all others.

• • Chat messages will now indicate which players they were sent to.

• • Left Click on event icons will jump to their location (where relevant).

• • Replay date/time is now based on when the game was actually played, not on when the file was created.

Usage While Playing / Support for Live Spectating AI games

• • It is now possible to use CA:DE while playing if you have "Allow Cheats" turned on in the game options in Age II. This allows you to, for example, monitor key stats with CA:DE while grinding build orders. It also allows spectating AI vs AI games by adding yourself as a player to the game.

• • Known Issue: CA:DE cannot control the speed of the game while you are playing. If CA:DE gets behind the game it will start to use more RAM until you catch up, which eventually will cause a crash. To avoid this issue set CA:DE to max fast forward so it keeps up with the game as it is played.

Caster Settings

• • It is now possible to add a scoreboard to FFA games.

• • When going between games CA:DE will now attempt to keep the previous settings and score so long as one player on one team is the same.
