Opt-in not downloading

July 1, 2016 10:59:23 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I can't seem to get the Hotfix to install.

I've enabled the Opt-in in steam, and it shows [opt_in_update] next to GalCiv3 in my Game Library.

I've also tried the following tip but it didn't seem to have any effect: https://forums.galciv3.com/469949/page/1/

There is no currwent Opt-In patch it went live a few days ago. Opt-out, reboot steam and it should get the current live version if it hasn't already.

I see there was an 1.8 hotpatch #3.  I'm experiencing the turn not advancing bug.

How do I check to see if it is installed?  My bug didn't go away. But I don't recall the game getting an update from steam within the last week...

When you load the game it tells you what version at the main menu.

Verify your local files.

The main menu shows 1.8 regardless of what "hotpatch" is installed.

In Steam R click on game go t properties.

Rest the mouse over the GCexe and get the  version number.

The opt-in and the live version are currently the same.  If you switch between them, steam won't see any difference and won't download anything.

This really doesn't answer the question... If you have this game on Steam, how can you update it to HotFix #3?  Either manually or automatically.


Steam doesn't update it.  is this something Stardock has to push through to Steam on their end?
