Hi all, Jamor here, with the news that after a weekend in beta without new breaking issues being introduced, I'm putting patch 2.5.1 fully live right now. It contains a number of bug fixes for the Lithoids release. ################################################################# ######################### VERSION 2.5.1 ########################## ################################################################# ################### # UI ################### * The tooltip for Livestock now mentions that Lithoid Livestock produce Minerals instead of Food * Chat muting commands now work consistently between in-game and lobby chat ################### # Bugfixes ################### * Lithoid Empires with the Terravore civic should no longer occasionally end up blocked from social research * Fixed so that players get the correct visual representation of chosen parts for the lithoid ships * Fixed Lithoids wrongly getting unhappiness and growth penalties from negative food, this comes from negative minerals for them now * Graphics options chosen in game launcher should actually apply in game now * Launcher should correctly handle mods and game options on the Paradoxplaza version of the game * Fixed a crash when network is disconnected ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Save games shouldn't be adversely affected by the switch from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1, but just in case you do encounter issues, you can roll back to a prior version via right click on Stellaris in library -> properties -> betas -> choose the desired version. If you want to do crossplay MP between Steam and our other release platforms (Plaza/GOG/MS Store), you need to opt in to the crossplay beta, stellaris_test, by the same method. If you have a 2.5.0 MP game that you want to finish before updating, roll back to the crossplay_rollback version. We're going to aim to get as many bug fixes and improvements as possible as we continue work on Federations. Stand by for more information about that in future dev diaries. Also, the new Paradox Launcher continues active development in parallel. If you have feedback or issues with the Launcher, please let my colleagues in the Launcher team know in this thread.
