PATCH 1.5.8

[The-Cat-o-Nine-Tales]

UPDATE

Hey everyone,


we found a potential solution to the issue with the old saves, but it's still undergoing tests. In the meantime, we want to give you access to it through a beta branch:

Open the properties of ES2 on Steam
Go to the Betas Tab
Select PatchPreview

This will put you on version 1.5.9, which should be able to load the problematic saves.

Nice update :)

[Sir John]

Not being able to vine Academy systems was quite a pain. Good to hear its fixed.

[Lord_Chencho]

This game is still kicking. Nice support!!

[I>U]

Shouldn't Librarian's lore questions be free at all? I mean, what person in a MP game would even ask about Horatio being perfect and what person interested in lore won't get frustated over such question actually having a price?

[Renesco]

Still can't scrap or sell citadels or behemoths

Vodyani still have the bug where the arks can't be built with a meditation module fitted

I'm changing my steam review to negative because these bugs have been around for me for over a year now.

[Space Argonaut]

[NineInchNail]

Same for me. Game crashes when trying to load any save game. Very disappointing.

You can (still) switch to Endless Space 2 versions:

a) 1.4.21 or
b) 1.5.3

in betas tab. Worth a shot.

-> right click on Endless Space 2 in Steam games list
-> properties
-> betas tab
-> choose version 1.4.21 - backup or 1.5.3 - backup

Thanks. I didn't know there are older versions available there. I always thought it is just for beta versions. It worked for me. At least I can play now. I just hope they will fix this bug soon.

I dont think that is how review work. You need to cry else where.
