1.1.6.5 Public Beta Update Available

[MaximKI]

Hey everyone, a new public beta is out now! See OP for details.

[Erik Rutins]

Please note that to fully experience the new and improved Hive threat, you will need to start a new game.

A new 1.1.6.1 public beta is now available on Steam and GOG. Changes are in the first post.

Is this the appropriate place to report a bug with the beta?

Since switching to the 1.1.6.4 beta patch, it seems that the (new?) display settings won't 'apply' when the game starts.

Game launches - screen very dark/dim.

I go into settings - do not change any - hit apply & screen looks bright and normal. I have save games, but the dark/dim screen happens prior to loading any games. This is a weird one because when I take a screen shot on my computer: it appears normal but my monitor shows it dim.

Edit: Even simply going into settings and then hitting cancel brings the brightness and such back to normal. I can try to grab a picture with a camera if you'd like.

[MaximKI]

Yes, perfectly fine to report here.

Thanks for the report - that's certainly a strange one and quite specific.

Ultimately, your settings do get applied right? There seems to be a delay effect when the settings apply. We'll look into it.

I have this problem since 1.1.6.1., by open settings the screen has the right brightness.

[scotten_usa]

No, the only way I can get the settings to apply is to click on Settings, then either Apply or even Cancel.

I took some pictures with my phone but it isn't helpful because my phone automatically improves the colors and contrast. I'll try to break out my SLR and see if that will produce a better set of photos.

A new 1.1.6.5 public beta update today, which should be the "Discovery" official update next week. It's available on Steam right now, we're trying to get it up on GOG as well but having some issues.

Excellent. Keep the updates coming.

I tried with a real camera and the pictures can't capture the dim/bright screen issue. I'm not sure how to show it to you guy, short of having you stop by my house

I've posted about this multiple times now but my fleets are STILL suiciding half way across the galaxy to refuel at Kasim with it's stupid automated stations around it. Has happened in essentially every beta version so far. Come on guys... I've even posted saves more than once about this bs. The fleet in my screenshot attached had about 40 ships in it ti li realized what was happening. Once more I attach a saved game to this post. Maybe someone might take a mementary glance at it some day...

Thought we had fixed that one, thanks for calling it to our attention again.

We've updated the GOG public beta branch with 1.1.6.5. For GOG users, please give this version a try and let us know if it improves your game.

At desgins at role there is also the size like small medium and large pls delete this size at role because of sorting roles. It's the same at new design select ship hull for example at freighters.

Still annoying.

All targets all fleets strentgh sorting is not working, you can test it also by the savegame above. The game is amazing! And unique!

I think the bombard infos at weapon tooltips should be better on the bottom of the tooltips. For better compare weapons.

Star marine barracks maintance savings 10% not count on ships (base not tested yet). But why maintance savings for this component? Delete the info in the tooltip.

Edit: Bought DLC on steam. Hope on new beta update.

Nothing fixed/optimized.

You start the game then choose new game, you select the galaxy, you select your empire, you select your government, and then you select your starting position either random, edge or center. And this center still not working and this setting will not be saved. It jumps always back to random other things like galaxy size get saved for other new games. Although I select start position center I will often start at edge.

Still not fixed in 1.1.7.1

[fruitgnome]

Not fixed yet.

Not fixed yet.

There is no need to keep bumping this old thread. We have logged previous reports and development is continuing, though there will not be any more public betas until January.
