Game crashes at start 11 days ago

No errors in output_log.txt. Windows Event Log just saying the game crashed with an invalid address access. Happens right after I click play in Steam. I tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Steam Discussions pinned thread and atached all diagnostics there.  However, just wondering here for increased visibility - is this common? Also, have the devs abandoned official customer support, i.e. is there a way to make a ticket somehow?

Custom Vodyani factions assimilation 5 months ago

So I'm tinkering with custom factions to make a Tyranid like faction in es2. At the moment I have the essence mechanic with unfallen visual/quest and depletion extreme foreman trait. What I can't find an answer to is the assimilation of minor factions. You don't get the trait from hunting grounds nor razing purging the system. Since I have the endless war trait I cant diplomatically assimilate them. My question is am I locked to only been able to raze their systems and not gaining any traits ever or is there a trait I'm missing to be able to. Please and thank you for you're help. Ps please hurry the hive mind is hungry

End turn stuck turn 57/58 as Nakalim 8 months ago

Came here from https://steamcommunity.com/app/392110/discussions/0/4293691425577594833/. My game is stuck on turn 57/58 while playing as Nakalim. When I hit end turn it never completes. I can use the menus, but my turn never comes up again. I tried clearing all the notifications, loading several autosaves before the bug, but haven't been able to get past it.

After ending the turn I waited 5 minutes before exiting to desktop. usually turns take about 10 seconds to process. Win Pro, x64, i9-13900K, 64GB RAM, GeForce RTX 4080, 2 TB SSD (1 TB free), had to implement the OPENSSL_ia32cap workaround for the game to run at all, drivers are up to date.

I wasn't able to upload the files using the forum interface, but they're available at...

ES2 Academy Attack Master Fleet docked bug 10 months ago

hi! i am currently playing the patchpreview update on steam. in my play session, i used the diplomatic option of spawning an academy fleet and i also received an academy fleet as a quest reward. i docked these fleets in different starsystems by disbanding them, with the expectation that i'd be able to create a fleet from those ships when i needed to. however, this wasn't the case and i can neither create a fleet from these ships or scrap them.

because i would really like to continue session, is there an easy mod fix for this bug?

otherwise, perhaps the disband option shouldn't be available for the academy fleet if there is no way to later retrieve them.

thank you

Synchronization problem. Endless Space 2 a year ago

We played together with a friend. We played a few games (two or three) without problems, but a few days ago terrible synchronization problems started. Desynchronization occurs almost every turn. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can play 4-5 moves before the synchronization. Please help solve the problem!

Horatio Cravers splicing bonus a year ago

Some years ago the Horatio (Gene Hunter) bonus for splicing Cravers was changed from a +5% stacking FIDS bonus per pop to being a flat non-scaling +5% FIDS bonus. i.e., a planet with 10 Horatio pops used to get a +50% total FIDS bonus, but would now get a +5% total FIDS bonus. I've finally dug around in the files to find the responsible code, and it seems to be the following lines in SimulationDescriptors[PopulationModifierTraits].xml:

<SimulationDescriptor Name="ClassPopulationAssimilatedPlanetDepletionFIDS" Type="ClassPopulationAssimilated">
<Modifier TargetProperty="BonusPopulationFIDSPercent" Operation="Addition" Value="0.05" Path="ClassPopulation"/>
<!--<Modifier TargetProperty="BonusPopulationFIDSPercent" Operation="Multiplication" Value="$(PopulationCount)" TooltipHidden="true"/>-->
</SimulationDescriptor>

... where the multiplicative part of the bonus was commented out. This change has been bugging me ever since it was made, because I just can't understand the logic behind it. I can understand an argument that it was too overpowered, but surely in its current form it's far too underpowered, being far worse than any other splicing bonus in the game. If it was never intended to be multiplicative, then 5% is just too low. Was this intended to be a bigger change that was left only half-implemented? Was it a mistake that was just never reverted? Why was it changed in the first place?
