Hi all, We were able to isolate a key issue that was preventing certain people from successfully joining games. It's been tested internally and the fix looks very robust, so I want to make it available to all our open beta testers now. Here's what the latest build adds: Fix for certain users being unable to join certain other MP games, or crashing on join Fix for people who were unable to login to their Paradox account We encourage everyone to give it a try to help us gather useful data and optimize this MP system, but most especially those reporting the above issue in previous versions. We want to be certain we've fixed it for you, so please give it a go and let us know your results. If you are seeing any issues, please run Stellaris with the command line option "stellaris.exe -pdxmp_max_log" and send the log file to @Krille PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN OPT-IN PATCH. YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE TO JOIN IN ORDER TO TEST THE NEW VERSION. Here's how to opt in: Right click on Stellaris in your Steam library -> select Properties -> go to the Betas tab -> select "bradbury_beta" To avoid confusion we've deleted the old 1.7.2_beta branch as that one is now outdated. If you're already opted in to bradbury_beta you don't need to do anything, it'll auto-update the next time you launch.
