Milky Way button doesn't do anything

[Zaflis]

Trying to press it from main menu, is it supposed to work for everyone or is that somehow regionally disabled or..? I get no message or anything when i click it.

hey at least i'm honest.

Works for me and shows stars and stats from other DSP users

It shows a screen where you can see stats for what I assume to be every possible seed in the game however they are working out server issues and its a bit temperamental as to if it will load but I did get into it earlier and tried to check my seed but it seemed to not have any stats.

ahhh gotcha. there are issues behind the scenes atm.

When I'm in the star map and scroll out far enough, it tries to load something, then bounces back to the cluster view. I'm sure they are working on it...

Where is this "Mllky Way button"? I don't see it. Does it appear when a certain research is done? {assuming as much}

The milky way button in the main menu doesn't work for me, and this happens when I try to zoom out in game.

you need to start a new game.
then milky way button from main menu and zoom-out from in-game will work.

I already did that since the update and just tried again now - still doesn't work

Nope, i did start new game after this patch hit. Main menu button doesn't work but it does when i zoom-out from map. That however is very unusable because it takes horribly long time of scrolling the wheel, and after long time you get the progress bar on top that if you pause scrolling even for a second then the scroll progress resets...

Edit: Now the ingame scrolling doesn't work either.

According to what I read (granted I understood it right); you have to have at least one Solar Sail or Dyson Node up and running, and cannot have any cheats or mods (they count mods of any kind as a cheat apparently) and your save data must be of Version 0.7.18 or newer.

Edit: The game Version you have is shown in the bottom left corner of the Main Menu Screen. It will more than likely say "Early Access x.x.xx.xxxx" there (x = current version number listed there).

As for the Saved Game Version, go to Load (not Continue), then select the save file you wish to run (do not start the save yet). On the right side of the Load screen it should list that save's details (below a thumbnail of where you were when saved); look for the detail that should have the header "Save file version / current version". The saved game you are aiming to launch is listed on the left side of the hash mark and the current game client version on the right side. If the left side reads a version less (or before) the current version then Milky Way will not work with that save file. You would have to start an entirely new game if this is the case.
