The first post-launch patch for Galactic Civilizations III is now available on an opt-in basis. This patch enables custom races in multiplayer and fixes various data bugs and crashes.

Read the full patch notes here.

To enable the patch, do the following:

  1. Select Galactic Civilizations III in your Steam Library list
  2. Right-click and select Properties
  3. Select the BETAS tab
  4. From the dropdown, select opt-in and click Close (if you don't see this option, restart Steam)
  5. Steam should pull down the changed files; if you ever want to go back, do the same as above but select default

Thank you for your support, and happy conquering!

"Features

Enabled Custom Factions in multiplayer (with fixed to make this stable)"

This is great and all but my buddies still can't see imported custom 1920x1080 pixel leader foreground/background and imported 128x128 leader profile picture and custom faction emblem in multiplayer. All of these show fine in singleplayer and I can see them fine on  myself in multiplayer despite my buddies saying that they can only see "X" marks.

I am at least glad that that I can show off my custom designed ships but please make it so that in multiplayer games to share the data/pictures of the My Games/GalCiv3/Factions folder between players so that they can all see our wonderful imported custom alien leader, not to mention Captain Picard, Darth Vader,ect...

Would it be possible to squeeze in a fix for the faction/fleet power ratings?

Given the numerous reports I think we can consider that as a confirmed bug, and one that can have pretty bad effects on the game.

Have been playing single player for a few hours, no problems with the opt-in so far.

This game is so addictive... Thank you Stardock!

I cannot start a multi player game with custom factions.  It crashes at the custom ships part of the launch.  Help, please, help.
