I went back to the previous release version 1.3.4.3 (non-beta). Verified game files on Steam so the game settings was reset. Played a game, then suddenly noticed I saw the whole galaxy without even noticing at first. Went back a few saves and checked when it happened. No galaxy map sharing deals ...

That sounds working as intended though? Unless galaxy sharing shouldn't work by proxy?


I've gone back to relese version and is testing if it is similar. I've played a bit before the new beta but It can of course be coincidence due to happy AI giving the option to share the map more than earlier ...

I managed to use an older save with about 25% galaxy explored and no galaxy map sharing deals. I played it on fast until I got the map sharing deal from the friendly Ackdarian. I saved the game with the prompt. Then I exited and loaded that game. Accepting the galaxy map share I got what they ...

I don't know if this is the answer to galaxy getting revealed. But AI empires seem to be really happy to share galaxy map. The latest game I went into a deal with a single AI empire with map sharing and got to see a big map portion where their empire was but not all. Years later I suddenly got ...

I'll check the autosaves. But I set them to autosave seldom. I like to play big maps and the default 5 min save later in game is to often for me. My games almost never crash so I live with the risk. If not, I'll test the new beta and see if same thing happens.

Short feedback after two games.

There seems to be a bug where the whole galaxy gets revealed, it happened in both games. First one around 2814 and in the second around 2825.

Galaxy map flags - I don't like it, makes the default map look worse and adds very little. I would instead improve the ...

Some great changes in the new beta, thank you.

Mortalen never, or at least very seldom perform well as an AI empire. As you said, playing Mortalen with military dictatorship or feudalism is generally a bad experience. I've run them as republic, and then they perform better, but as you said is a bit out of character.

Great to see! I really appreciate the continued support of the game.

During my current game one of my automated fleets cleared a well guarded neboulousa system. I checked the combat and found that there were colonizers from 5 different factions bouncing in and back out (retreating due to enemies). When I defeated the enemies they raced to colonize.

Congratulations ...

In my last game I played the AI starting burning all my money after winning the pirates over. The game started autobuilding ships like mad to fill up fleets getting all the separate pirate ships.It was nearly impossible to build any high cost facilities as the game never saved enough money to do it ...

When I started playing I changed some hotkeys to my liking. I don't do that anymore, because they get reset all the time.

Started playing a game as Wekkarus. Love the design of the ship and species, great work.

Since you not provide any metric or data or specs your post literally says nothing.
If you would add system specs, game size, game stage (mid-late-ect) with some CPU use numbers/screen you would add some meaning to your statement.
Just sayin...


It was not my intention to go into technical ...

I recently upgraded my 7 year old CPU and got a modern CPU with much higher performance and a lot more cores (got new motherboard, RAM etc of course). What surprised me was how the Distant Worlds 2 just scaled up and basically used more cores still at a fairly high load. I got the game set to use ...

Great news, big improvements on many fronts. And also nice overhaul of Zenox and Boskara.

Really like the design on both the species and the ships, with similar looking appendages.

Yep, it does that. The advisor has some secret path to the site I guess. : )

When at war with the AI, the AI often sends colonization ships to do annoynance outposts and colonies far inside your territory.

The UI is poor at telling me when these are incoming so I can stop them. I've managed to stop it sometimes, but mostly due to luck as it is hard taking notice of an enemy ...
