Hi all, We've spent the last couple days absorbing your feedback on 1.9.0 - Boulle, and have got some bugfixes for you. We're going to release it now as an optional beta version, allowing those who are interested to try it out in the live environment. As usual, when we've made sure the fixes are solid and no new issues have been introduced, we'll roll it out at as the official version. Here's the list of fixes: - fixed broken tile graphics in colonization and resettlement screens - fixed issue where the humanoid frontier outpost model was incorrectly swapped with the mammalian one - reverted a previous GUI fix that caused anomaly windows to display blank or cut off - fixed issue with human preset and custom empires not spawning at all, as well as the Space Platypus, because that's a travesty - fixed off-center turret positions on military stations - fixed the Technocrat VO name not displaying properly in the voice selection screen in Spanish and Russian - fixed some low-repro possible crashes - fixed the Plantoids Species Pack being rendered with remarkable brevity in the launcher as simply "Plantoid" - fixed a crash that happened when you shift-select a fleet and a spaceport, then try to click on the spaceport in the list of selected items Please give it a try and let us know how it works out for you. 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 "1.9.1_beta"
