As the patch is now released this sticky is no longer necessary

Thanks for everyone reporting bugs and providing feedback on Humankind. The devs are reading all the feedback.

There is now a beta patch available that has a ton of fixes, balance tweaks, etc.

The list is very long so I've put it in a post below

The beta version of this patch is available on Steam on the branch beta_1.2.116. To access it, open the Properties of Humankind on Steam, go to the Betas tab, and select version Beta_1.2.116 from the dropdown menu. Steam should update your game to the beta version, though if this does not happen immediately, we recommend restarting steam or verifying the Humankind game files.

I don't really know if this is a bug... but about halfway through the game the AI started instant killing my units. It didn't matter if I had an overwhelming advantage, their units would just instant kill mine. It became impossible to win wars, or really do anything meaningful on the combat side of things.

We were at around the same technology so it wasn't a tech issue. They had slightly stronger cavalry but we were both using the first gun units.

Idk, I think it's a bug.

Otherwise everything was working great. the UI felt natural (although there was an instance where the 'claim wonders' popup blocked the window that actually showed the wonders)

You can hover on the enemy combat strength to see the bonuses they have.

Quite likely they got +7 strength for 10 turns due event (Ferocity trait). I think this event is a bug itself as +7 is increadibly high value, better than anything else including fortification bonus.

You add this patch on xbox game pass?

Postat inițial de Nats:

Can these patches be added to the Xbox Gamepass version please, still on a three week old version over there.

Is the AI bee-lining for special tiles during auto-explore fixed in there at all? Is this a bug or wad?

This is a beta patch that's currently only on steam

XGP and the MS Store in general doesn't have a great way for developers to do beta patches. Even MS itself uses an "Insider Hub" app that manages all their own internal beta opt-in projects for XGP and games like AOE4. Even then, AOE4 did most of their beta testing on steam too, where you signed up in the hub but were sent a steam key anyway

Once this patch is out of beta, it should get uploaded to XGP/MS Store

Is this available on Epic games version?

Currently this is only available on Steam

Epic's beta process is more kludgy than Steam's. Basically the only way to get a beta is to functionally give the beta out as a separate 'game' to people. This isn't too bad for games in Early Access stages, where you expect a lot of changes to builds and users can choose to be on either the 'stable' one or the 'new upcoming features beta' one. That model doesn't really make much sense once you're out of Early Access.

As its a separate 'game' as far as Epic concerned, its also difficult to distribute as you then either have to give out keys for it, or give everyone access to the beta version of the game

This ends up being confusing because, it shows up as a separate entry in your library so new users can end up running the beta version of a game instead of the mainline one.

PLEASE! For the love of god, whoever the community manager is! PLEASE STOP PINNING THREADS!

The front page is completely unusable now because NINE OUT OF TEN POSTS ARE PINS.

Don't you think there's a problem if we can only see one user-made thread on the front page of the forum!?

You can click the "50" button at the bottom which then will show 50 threads instead of the default 15. Even if a forum only had 1 sticky, I never use the default 15 thread view

The stickies are functionally necessary. Another user was kind enough to post about this beta patch as well, but their post was buried like 2-3 pages down even in my 50 thread per page view. I mean its great everyone is posting here and giving great feedback. But something like this thread can just disappear into the ether without stickies.

That said we're looking into seeing what we can do to maybe doing some organizational changes on the forums. That might change how many stickes are on a single page.

Postat inițial de Bridger:

Agreed. When you pin every thread, nobody looks at them.

from my experience in other forums, most people who don't read pins, don't read them in general, it usually doesn't have to do with there being too many. The issue is more about forcing people to read stickies, not about reducing the number of them (though obviously there can be a point where there's too many)

There's definitely a lot of varying opinions on what does or doesn't work with stickies. I think at one point there was a trend of making the steam default forum a 'stickies landing page'. Though that seems to be less common now.

[Nats]

Just put all the pinned threads onto a sub-forum, that's what everyone else does .... general discussions should be for that - discussions (well arguments mostly).

[Adidas]

I think the one people want to read is 'gave the option to play a game where civilizations stay the same throughout, but adopt certain 'values' without changing names etc'. That's the biggest problem people seem to have with the game.

Turn still hanging. Issue not fixed.
Can't upload my savegame somewhere? Or are you able to access my cloud save?

[TowerWizard]

Not sure I like the changes to science victory. It seemed like the easiest way to win before, now it would be even easier, especially if you avoid most or all of the unneseccary techs. It mighjt make players think "this tech is not needed to win" so they ignore them as it takes time away from winning (unless the tech is very good).

[TowerWizard]

Also, harboprs should allow you to build next to it, just like the hamlet does.

Note turn pending bugs are not a single issue but multiple problems that exhibits the same symptom

You can upload your saves, player.log and dxdiag to the G2G forums

[CHROME ツ]

Lost internet connection. This happens to multiple of my friends all the time. The game is completely unplayable with this issue still ongoing.

[Chewbacca]

where is the option to disable pollution ???
Endgame is still unplayable...

[TowerWizard]

Also, please fix the achievements. I have gotten some that I did not unlock. After you have fixed them, create a way to reset them in-game, so I can get them legitimately (or maybe reset them for everyone).

[Mallear]

still stuck on the startup loading screen at 80%. did all the fixes listed....
