This update has now been postponed until Monday 18th.
Wished you didn't remove the hardware accelerator option since it worked best for me.
nothing to get excited about BUT also nothing to get upset about either, these updates that don't include anything that has been asked for or promised largely go unnoticed (unless they cause new bugs) so its a case of move on, nothing to see here
I have mine turned off via disabling HW acceleration from the Adobe Flash settings menu. Right click within the game screen and choose 'settings'....

Yeah um.. can someone here, preferably a mod, tell me in wich ways exactly the animations have been improved? For months it's getting worse and worse.
When loading the game with DirectX one could get missing buildings, missing building animations, and in general could experience slow loading. The developers have worked on improving loading animations with DirectX so it runs smoother now.
And @thanatos, that should be correct, that is the current intended behavior of the TH checkmark.
