So, in the patch notes, is this comment:

•Reduced the science trade route multiplier from 2 to 0.5.

But, when I started a new game this weekend, I noticed that I was still getting 2x science over dust in my trade routes. So... what is this comment about?

I noticed the same thing, afaik steam auto updates unless it's behind and currently on the wrong version.

Aye, Steam auto updates unless its in offline mode or you've set the auto to manual update. Last time i checked the multiplier in my game was working as stated in the patch notes. Will double check tomorrow.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, where is the multiplier displayed?

Research from trade is twice that of dust, so I assumed that was a x2 multiplier vs the dust at 1. I can't see a value displayed anywhere.

I can't remember exactly without looking at the in-game screen but somewhere in the top right corner. There should be a place where all Modifiers are shown.

I can confirm this.

I have ES off Steam version 1.0.38, verified game cache integrity to be damn sure it is all up to date, and trade still provides twice as much research as it provides dust. It displays as such on the individual planet screens and on the empire trade overview screen.

I thought it was just an error in the bug notes - a late reversal of a balance change that didn't make it - but it sounds like we've got a good candidate for the bug forum here.
