Update 1.34.226 - Improved Compression & Misc. Improvements · Demise of Nations update for 12 September 2022

Update Required: if you are running a version of the game older than half a year you will need to UPGRADE the game if you login to the server. Older versions cannot handle the new image compression algorithms. Please upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Compression Images: Image data is now better compressed. That includes everything from map images to avatars to awards etc. Reduces network I/O.
Compression for Maps: Map files are now better compressed reducing download size. Please update your map and upload an update so your map is smaller for others.
Official Maps: updated all the official maps with the latest compression (the file sizes are now smaller to download).
Balancing: fishing boats are slightly weaker. Update your map with the latest template.ZIP if you have published a legacy map and re-upload.
Multiplayer: invite option for friends to SOLO games is now gone (for obvious reasons).
UI: FPS or memory consumption display can now be turned ON/OFF anytime (without exiting the game).
Graphics System: changed to using the ANGLE wrapper for OpenGL starting with just Windows 10+ (instead of Windows 8+).
Keyboard: shortcuts 'M' and 'N' for chat removed as they interfere with other key bindings. Use ENTER (or ENTER+SHIFT) instead.
Manual: manual updated explaining that "Blackmail" is not acceptable behavior.
Manual: explained that multiplayer games can potentially be deleted by the moderators (e.g. ganging in non-gang games, farming of rating points etc.).
Manual: explained in more detail that circumventing the spam filter via modified binary might result in appropriate actions against a player.
API: added more details when the API for "play" and "game" gets queried.
API: functionality "ro-enrol" added to query users as to which "play" and "game they are enrolled in, including their status (e.g. if turn was entered).
API: manual updated with latest information how to access "ro-enrol" for plays and games.
Language: latest translations added - Thanks :-D
Language: renamed "Eye Candy" to "Level of Detail" (for clarity).
Maintenance: Mac OS X signing certificate updated (till 2027-02).
Maintenance: updated to Google Billing 5.0.0 (from 4.0.0).
Maintenance: updated Droid to version 13 (API 33).
Internal: internal mail notifier for server status updated to port 465.
Bugfix: the team tournaments (e.g. clan championship) did shuffle the players after the 1. round by mistake.
Bugfix: tutorials updated so they render correctly.
Bugfix: tooltips in menu screens also show when scroll panel is activated.
Bugfix: election result for "recognition" (victory) would display the numbers wrong if some of the factions that voted were eliminated. There doesn't seem a bug in who won or not, i.e. just a display issue.
Bugfix: asking to join a war against an eliminated faction would result in a declaration of war against the already eliminated faction.
Bugfix: custom keyboard mappings weren't properly saved resetting them when the game was restarted.
Bugfix: map does not continue scrolling when the game window is out of focus.
Bugfix Crashes: making sure UI doesn't crash when elements are layout while they are removed at the same time (Advanced Tutorial).
Bugfix Crashes: when snowy picture was null in town view.
Bugfix Crashes: when trying to centering the map but no valid player was given, i.e. 'null'.
