Sorry, it runs awesome. I wrote too quick.This is focused on critical crash issues and we think we've made significant progress on them.

This is pretty shabby treatment of your loyal Matrix customers. I buy direct from Matrix for two reasons: (1) To get more money into Matrix's pocket and less into Steam's and (2) because I detest Steam and the dependency it embodies. I will NEVER buy or play via Steam if I can go direct to the publisher. For Matrix to cut me out of the betas without going through Steam is a betrayal that has me literally shaking with anger.
As someone that's spent the last 10+ years being paid to test companies/developers products I could not agree more, this is a alpha build.sanch wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 4:28 pm+1solops wrote: Fri Apr 01, 2022 3:39 pm "To facilitate frequent beta iterations as needed, this beta is only available for now on Steam and GOG.

I have 30+ years programming experience as a consultant; my specialty being going in and cleaning up other people's messes. IMHO this was released 3-6 months before it was ready. When I first ran it I spotted 10-20 obvious problems before it crashed. It was essentially an alpha build, not even beta.
I do not use steam other, for the same reasons. Their terms and conditions are brutal; I will not accept them.
So I deleted the program. Maybe in 6 months or so, I'll try it again.
This save appears to be from March 15th, is that correct and you haven't tried it on any other versions between then and now?hyno111 wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:22 pm 1.0.3.1 seems to be incompatible with my saves. The State economy screen is broken and one colony have it's name changed to "Ancient slave colony" and gets an artifact without icon. Forgot to save before rollback and can't reproduce the Ancient Slave Colony one though.
It is there again.. The night lights shine through. Not all, but through some unpopulated planets/moons.rxnnxs wrote: Thu Mar 31, 2022 8:10 pmI will try to look into this one, because I wrote earlier (here) about this circles/crosshair (night lights) at the dark sides of the planets that were always shining through at a certain distance. Even if not populated. Every planet, every moon, all of them.Erik Rutins wrote: Thu Mar 31, 2022 5:12 pmThey've (the night lights) been doing that all along (night lights on populated worlds which adjust in pattern and density with the population size), you just need to look on the dark side of the planet. However, we found a serious bug with that system that could cause some of the crashes, hence this fix.Carewolf wrote: Thu Mar 31, 2022 5:10 pm Colony City Night Lights?
Is that a spoiler thing, or when are colonies supposed to render cities, let alone day/night cycles.
