@trepidimous thanks for the report, should be fixed.

Should be fixed currently

Looks like people nw.js team are still working on Apple Silicon support.

We keep an eye on them. Obviously, we can't start updating our builds before they finish.

This is a very minor update containing the following:

• Added new property StructureInvaderCore.spawning. It's identical to StructureSpawn.spawning.
• Fixed attackType in room event log for Creep.rangedMassAttack (see the issue report)
• Some other minor fixes and tweaks

This update is supported in private server version 4.2.11.

@pruby should be fixed now

@systemparadox The implication may be quite practical. For example I once found the blog post about pathfinding in the Factorio devs blog, they split the world onto square chunks (which we have out of the box), do reverse pathfinding over chunks, like Game.map.findRoute but keeping the closed set, and then use standard A* (not even JPS!) with a custom heuristic function to use the saved closed set of chunks search as a guide.

@crazydubc As far as I know, calling js functions from a native module is heavy. The heuristic function is called for every point being added to the open set, which is a lot. The total overhead likely would be too high for a pathfinder with a custom heuristic formula to be useful in the game.

If someone wants to give it a try, please remember that it's a part of the driver component which is open-sourced.

@systemparadox we'll see what we can do

We recently experienced technical issues at our hoster.

We managed to find and exclude from service affected parts of our infrastructure and successfully recover all shards of all servers at a cost of slower ticks. This is not a regular behavior of game servers, we continue to work with our hoster on the whole infrastructure to be fully recovered.

The expected date of when we hope to sort this out is January 11 or January 12.

Sorry for the inconveniences caused by this emergency!

This is the expected behavior, not an issue. We have to keep it this way to prevent safe mode mechanics to be abused.
