States of Power Patch Brings Dynamic Server Speed, Chat Fixes, and Crash Repairs

The August 27 update to States of Power addresses multiplayer stability and quality-of-life across chat, official servers, and a handful of persistent bugs.

What changed

Official servers

  • Servers now accelerate automatically when nothing significant is happening, then slow back down once real players engage in conflict.
  • A chat message notifies players whenever the server speed changes.

Chat

  • Feed filtered to show only real players.
  • Player names now appear alongside their countries.
  • Search has been improved.
  • The country list refreshes immediately after an ideology change.

Bug fixes

  • Several crashes resolved: one in chat, one triggered by civil wars in countries with zero cores, and one caused by invalid country colors.
  • An infinite money-printing exploit, accessible while the game was paused, has been closed.
  • Unit flags now update correctly after an ideology change.
  • Carrier fighters no longer detach from their carriers when a civil war begins.
  • The scenario browser sorting dropdown, previously hidden behind other UI elements, is now properly visible.
  • Multiplayer connections are reported to be more stable.

The dynamic speed system in particular changes the texture of long online sessions, keeping downtime brisk without sacrificing pacing during the moments that actually count.
