Would like to mention gamebreaking feature you've introduced:

Vodyani heroes have ability that gives 1 flat FIDS / level to everyone in empire. That resulted in every of my population unit producing extra 26 FIDS, way too much for a single ability. Had to abandon the game, becouse it became waaay too easy).

Can't reload savegame

• Summary / Title: Can't reload save
• Description: executable error after status: "game launched"
• Steps to Reproduce:
•  1. Load save
• Reproducibility: 5/5
• Expected Behavior: To be able to load saved gamr
• Version: 1.0.16
• Note: Particular save contains Galaxy of the lasrgest size, with all races in game at turn 164
  
• Attachments:
• Cravers First.zip

Workaround:

1. Verifying local file integrity does not help
   
2. Reverting Beta batck to latest patch resolves the issue
   

Even after the release, new content is still coming out, taking in consideration what players would like to see, love it!

I have a question : I heard Amplitude was a French studio, but I don't know if the entire team speaks French. Would I make the devs' job easier if I wrote French translations below my posts?

Just asking!

Hey Float,

So I have just reloaded your saved game on 1.016 (been playing the build with friends tonight), and it loads OK. Turn 63 game where you play horatio, right?

I strongly doubt that some systems can reload a saved game, some others cant. The saved game cannot be corrupted only for some computers. There may be something wrong with your install of 1.016. I suggest checking the files or even considering reinstall.

Cheer,

Hey Satoru,

Not yet, no. This build contains lots of optimizations, fixes/improvements, and some new stuff we will announce next week :)

Good hunting!

HI, I've reached turn 142 with this preview build.

here are my thoughts so far:

I'M PLAYING ON SERIOUS DIFFICULTY. COLOSSAL SIZE MAP. 8 A.I. PLAYERS

the good:

- game performance has increased tremendously! I am playing on colossal map size (that's really a big one) with 8 A.I. players and at turn 142 it's really smooth!

- A.I. are building better equipped fleets and do reaserch command points as it should! Turn 142 thay already have 22 Command points (at least some of them)

the bad:

- voydiani A.I. are broken. The A.I. playing this faction has still 4/4 command points and basic ships

- some bugs with missions (late will report)

the odd:

- I have rarely seen any A.I. fleets in this game....... I've explored almost the whole map throwing many small ships here and there... what is happening??? When I declare a war on empire, they immediately ask me for truce almost every turn......

I attacked the unfallen and was taking one system after another... turn by turn. then suddenly they defended their system with one very powerful fleet and destroyed mine (much weaker)

I will play more and report everything new!

Great news on the peformance.

We will look into the other issues.

Cheers,

Hey Float, I can load an old game, alt-tab, and start a new one. Have you tried the standard troubleshooting things, like verifying game files and whatnot?

I can't even start a new game with this one!

Hey AmpliMath, 

I verified the game files and reinstalled the game, twice. I am also unable to to start a new game (https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forums/65-general/threads/26986-preview-version-1-0-16-test?page=1#post-242054) and the game is crashing while alt-tabbing from the main menu (https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forums/65-general/threads/26986-preview-version-1-0-16-test?page=1#post-242054).

Had none of those problems on the previous patch and by changing the branch back to 1.0.11 all is working fine again, including the savegame.

I'm also on an old AMD apu/gpu so maybe some related issues are creeping back?

Yes this is definitely weird, unless one of the optimizations (we did some stuff on the improvement of influence circles) is not working. I have looked at the diagnostics file, but I see no error and it feels cut short, maybe because the game crashed. Can you send the Output_log file of the crash please?

Cheers

Where should we provide feedback (not issues, just general good/bad bits) about this build?

I guess here is fine! Since the build is tested by a fraction of the community, we are good until the build is pushed to everyone.

Thanks, we will look into both your reported issues. It does not feel specific to the evolutions of 1.016, it could be older.

Cheers
