I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I have a more precise estimate for the next Stadia Patch. It will release in the second half of next week.

The bad news is that this will be the "Fabius Maximus" update. That also means that the DLC will not be available on Stadia at this time. I do not know why the Stadia logo was present in the trailer, nor do I have an estimate of when the DLC will be available on Stadia.

Thanks for the info. Keep us informed.

Is it at all possible to elaborate on what is the issue that's making porting slow? It would be helpful for developers who play this game to appreciate the issue more and/or potentially help out.

I assume tedious certification process and no tools to automatically push updates.

I assume perhaps it's not the certification process because they previously referred to it as a "major bug". Plus, presumably the main hurdle in certification was passed when the game was initially released. 

Maybe it's in the porting process? Stadia runs on Linux and Vulkan instead of Windows and DirectX, so maybe there is an issue in porting the updates. However, Stadia made an announcement 6 months ago about rolling out a new "Porting Toolkit" to early adopters that should make the transition easier. Maybe the studio that Amplitude is contracting with can try that? https://stadia.dev/blog/less-time-porting-certing-more-time-creating-session-video/

I can imagine there won't be a reply, but about supporting the Stadia version... Any chance it will be dropped in the future? I feel kind of "anxious" about those kind of things. :P

Has it happened yet?

Hi cat,

Any news on this? I stopped playing because of achievements that didn't work.I had a game in which I collected all the stars and it didn't pop. You know how frustrating that is. Is kinda silly you need to get achievements in one sitting. Hope that gets fixed.

I just checked, and we don't have the patch update yet :-(

Hey Cat, 

any news so far? Can imagine that the frustration is huge on all sides with this topic...

But can someone please finally commit that the Stadia version will still be developed going forward? Incl. DLCs? I think we finally see and (need to) accept that Stadia development is and will be far behind other platforms...but I would really like to understand if there are plans to drop Humankind entirely on Stadia?! In the end a clear statement would be fair...will it "only" be delayed or at some point dropped? 

Thanks.

I genuinely hope they don't drop support entirely. 
I really trust them at their word that there's an issue that needs to be addressed before they can ramp up support for Stadia. The whole "cloud gaming" thing is new, and there's bound to be problems.

Did the December update drop yet or is it now a January update?

Remember the time it was a November update? Weeks and months have lost meaning here. One should ask 22 or ever.

Today I received a reply on a YouTube video that the patch 4.1 for Stadia should go live today!

Does the 1.0.4.1 patch predate the Fabius Maximus patch, which was 1.0.5.517, or are the version numbers different for Stadia?

Sorry, I am just an enthousiastic player. ;-) I hope it's as much updated as they can and most of all: that achievements work better. I have played multiple playthroughs for select achievements, only to not get them in the end.. blasted dozens of hours into the big void.

Ah, my mistake. Version 4.1 is the previously-mentioned follow up patch to Fabius Maximus (1.0.5.517) and is update number 1.0.5.549.

https://updatecrazy.com/humankind-update-1-0-5-549-patch-notes-officiial-november-17-2021/

I've just tested the game, and I can confirm that the patch has been applied. I checked that the colour pickers for Empire colours from 1.0.5.517 were present in the settings, along with the strategic cost changes for Chariot units from 1.0.5.549.

Thanks for the update!

Finally!
