Next Beta Update

from GalCiv2 Forums

I'm making a sticky thread to keep you guys updated on when we plan to release another beta.  Please do not use this thread to discuss features or report bugs.

Update 04.02.08:

Since Brad has been on a business trip all week, we're going to wait until next week to do another update.

Update 03.26.08:

We're planning on doing an update this Thursday, barring technical problems. 

Update 03.20.08:

Beta 6 is up!

Update 03.12.08:

Hi guys, sorry about the lack of news, but I've been sick with a bad upper respiratory infection since last Thursday and today is my first day back.  So we're not going to update the beta this week. I'll let you know when I find out when we're doing the next update.

Update 02.22.08:

No beta today either.  I spent most of the day fixing bugs I ran into while testing, and tweaking the code to automatically design ships for players, so the end result is that more time was spent coding than testing.  Rather than throwing a largely untested beta at you, we're going to wait a little bit longer. 

Update 02.21.08:

Hey guys, sorry for an additional delay, but Brad went home sick today so we're not going to put up another beta.  Also, we're looking into the issue some people are having where downloading the update from earlier this week seems to have corrupted their installation.  If you updated to Beta 4C and now get a crash when trying to start a new game, please e-mail your install logs to [email protected].  The files can be found in Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\Installed.  The files for Twilight are named gc2_Twilight.log and gc2_Twilight.xml, and you should send in the files for the other modules if you installed any updates for those at the same time. 

I'll let you know tomorrow if we will be trying to put up the update then.

Update 02.08.08:

Not this week.  We've all been swamped and the servers are getting pounded from the people downloading Sins anyway.

Next week is Valentine's Day so there will be no update next week either so that no one has to work late.

As far as I know, we'll keep to our standard release on Thursday schedule, so the next update would be on Thursday 02/21/08.

Now that you're back, what's your stance on the initial Thalan tech tree buildings? Since they are Galactic Wonders, if a custom race with that tree and the Thalans (or another custom with that tree) are in a game together...the AI builds that factory/research/farm etc building just as the game is loading up...blocking you from placing such a pivotal building.

I wouldn't ask too much about the other racial initial wonders, but at least the Thalan ones need to be super projects I think.

I don't want this thread taken over by feature discussions or bug reports, but I will answer your question.

I just asked Brad about this and he's going to change them to super projects.

Wont this lead though to potentially overpowered situation if you capture another planet with those already built? Like it is the case now with Hyperion line buildings?

So did Sins steal their entire dev team? It feels like it's one guy finishing the expansion on part-time hours or something.

Ah nevermind, got a response:

Brad was first-handing checking/overhauling the AI and Cari was bug-squashing as far as I knew...

I updated the thread but I'll bump it too.  We're not going to put up an update until next week because Brad has been out of town on business.
