Distant Worlds v1.9.5.6 Public Beta - 2 Update Available!

[Nanaki]

Hopefully future patches could improve AI handling of spies.

Just finished the first game of DW (1.9.5.6 beta2)ever that had no crashes. Stock game, no mods, hard, aggressive AI, 700 stars on an 8x8 with 12 civs. I have only had two games that I was seriously challenged in and this was the best. Good work, but the AI is still a bit klutzy. I still need a png dedicated to space forts so I do not have to see medium starbases as the default forts, too.
Also, I do not use spies as I consider them to be implausible and a cheat. So, the AI gets a freebie there. I also ignore all leaders.

What happened to this patch? Any update?

I hope some modders wishes (like Icemania's and mine) are incorporated into the patch right now. That sure would explain the long silence.

I just installed the steam version and selected the beta opt in option in the properties menu. The 1.9.5.6 version is displayed when I start the game. I wanted to know if I had the 1.9.5.6.beta or 1.9.5.6.beta 2 so I had a look in the game directory for the change log. It appears that I only have the 1.9.5.6.beta.

I downloaded the beta 2 update and applied it manually. When I try to start the game I get an error window that says that Distworldrez.exe cannot be found.

I've uninstalled the stream version and am going back to a manual install. Does anyone know how to:
1) have steam install the latest beta automatically? (It is currently installing the 1.9.5.6.beta, not the latest which is the 1.9.5.6.beta 2.); and
2) start the game after applying an update manually to a steam installed version?

So, the latest beta patch still isn't on Steam and no one has heard from the devs for nearly a month. What's going on here? Did Matrix stop handing out paychecks or what?

Being August, don't you think there's just the tiniest chance that some of them are on holiday?

Erik wrote a message last week about the upcoming patch ^^
