*** RELEASED 4/25/2023 *** One of my favorite changes in GC4 was the fact that a lot of the techs provide free ships when you unlock them. It definitely sped up the early game and was a fun reward for research. This update brings some of those changes to GC3. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Fixes Typo fixes. Fixed some invalid prereqs on some of the MegaEvents. Balance</stron

[quote who="pandreor" reply="1" id="3879988"] Sounds good. Any chance of a fix to custom races not getting the starting bonus scouts, or are these left out for balance reasons? It's not something easy to mod in for personal preference, given the .faction file format. Thank you. [/quote] Yes, I've been trying to figure out a good way to do it that doesn't require redoing all the starting ships setups. Im still noodling on it.

We have a fix. Thanks for all the help isolating this. The problem actually in the Diplomacy screen, its in the UP screen. The UP doesn't clean up everything it needs to after making all those bink windows. Which causes issues when something else tries to create multiple bink windows at once (the diplomacy screen). The fix will be in the next patch.

Wait a minute.... I think i got it. It also takes a ton of other civs in the game to lock. I think I have a repro, checking it out not.

Im trying to repro this and I haven't been able to. Anyone with a save that repros would be appreciated (the save above has expired). Im doing lots of UP meetings and then hitting the diplomacy button right after. Maybe it's a specific UP resolution that passes that causes it? Im trying different ones, but no issues yet.

This will be fixed in 4.51. (if you install the test build you can try out the fix).

I'm checking this out. Thank you for reporting it.

[quote who="pandreor" reply="1" id="3875422"] Will this version be made available as a beta? Also, any chance you got to look at the issue with some races (Drath and Korath IIRC) getting the new starter scouts, but losing their survey ship? Custom civs are not getting them at all, you still have to choose either survey or scout ships to start. Also, much smaller issue if Synthetics are getting cities, but in the 4.5 thread somebody mentioned an issue where if you make a civ bo

[quote who="pandreor" reply="2" id="3873206"] Hi. I just started on the beta, going to take a while to explore it. PC, Windows 10, all DLC, fresh reinstall after deleting every folder from before. Right off I can see a couple of problems: New: No starting scout ships for the Drath, Korath, Phamysht, and a few other races. They also don't show up on the civilization picker screen. Old: Yor: They hav

After working in the shadows for so long it is great to finally be able to announce a game and hear that you are as excited as we are for Galactic Civilizations IV. We have an amazingly talented team here and I wanted to introduce them as you may be chatting with as we go through early access and release. == DESIGN & PRODUCTION == <s

That will probably only work the first time you run. We just put an opt-in patch https://forums.galciv3.com/504161/galactic-civilizations-iii-patch-if-you-dont-have-crusade

Foreign languages are available in the Epic version, "Test Branch" build. This is a separate game install version than the normal game where we test out new functionality. You will see it as a separate game in your Epic library. On the "Test Branch" build go into options, Interface and select the language you would like to play the game in. Please let us know if you have any issues.

We are updating the Opt-in today to fix the issue where you are unable to load old saves. Note: this will break saves from yesterday (from the prior option update)

Thanks guys, I'll check out the crashes on loading saves.

The optin has been updated. The big changes in this version are that you can select languages in-game (this was important for Epic players because the epic client doesn't allow you to install different files based on the language). It also adds the ability to play music/sfx if the game is installed to a non-ascii directory. This is the last of the bugs dealing with odd directory names so we should now fully support them.
