We'll be doing an opt-in for 1.71. I don't have a date yet, but it will be sooner rather than later.

You may need to restart steam to get the update. The issue we fixed was unrelated to the queue. Can you be more specific on what problem you are having?

[DarkEvangeli]

there is one situation where i unlock a upgrade tech for a module and the starbase would automatically add the new mod in queu and crash the game after pressing "turn". i found a way to counter it by making sure before the tech for the module is unlocked there is enough construction points for the starbase/s. I'm pretty sure of this since after the crash and did this it was fine and also i tried not finishing the tech and did not crash either and tried to finish it on the next turn without the construction points and it crashed again. although i found a way to workaround it it becomes more of a hassle than micromanaging the starbases before the update.

Do you know what tech you unlocked? Also, if you have save right before it happens, can you submit a ticket with the save attached? I would like to see this fixed.

Any word on 1.71 opt-in would be nice to fix the precursor event bug from coloniing too many worlds (which is fairly easy to reach on larger maps)
