How do we get it?  I just tried launching (from my Steam "Play" button).

  • In my Games bar, for "Galactic Civilizations III" (my only entry), the "[opt-in]" suffix vanished.  (I had the 0.41.2 opt-in.)
  • I didn't see any download progress or pause.
  • Once launched, the Main window still says "Ver 0.41".

Should I delete all local content and force it to re-download?

I don't think they released it for us to test yet. They may or may not... they didn't do it for all the Fallen Enchantress beta tests.

Yes, it isn't released yet. We are planning to release it on Thursday.

And you are so right, I should be playing the 100 player game today. Crazy Stardock making me work! ;)

Not fixed:
