Patch 1.5.28


We're sorry this patch was released later than anticipated. Technical issues and last minute fixes prevented us from releasing on the originally intended day, to ensure you have a stable game experience.


FIXES

• Fixed an issue of the UI becoming unresponsive
  
• Fixed several instances of the turn getting stuck
  
• Fixed compatibility issue with Intel Iris chipsets; the game should run properly on Surface devices now
  
• Laws rewarded by quests are properly displayed in the Law screen again
  
• Riftborn Hyperium Outpost action works again
  
• AI should no longer make demands when asking for a truce
  
• Vodyani can now build Arks with Meditation modules (fixed faulty DLC check)
  
• Fixed localization key displaying in some diplomatic messages
  
• Umbral Choir Population Collection bonus now applies its Hacking Speed bonus
  
• Ionic Crystals properly apply their System Development Bonus now
  
• Vodyani Factory of Faith no longer creates Ecstatic status at 5 or less Approval
  
• Special node names use the full name list name list instead of duplicating names
  
• Price of Perfection now properly applies its damage bonus

We have also made some changes that will hopefully ensure that the correct version of Mono and other necessary supporting software will be installed on MacOS Catalina devices, (hopefully) allowing players to run the game without manually updating these.

thx for the patch but what about the balance patch?

[The-Cat-o-Nine-Tales]

As we have said before, this patch and the upcoming patches are all about bugfixes, not balance. While we understand the frustration with the balancing of certain parts of the game (the Spear of Isyander probably being brought up most often), features that do not function take priority.

I am personally hoping that we can make some tweaks to the balance, but most importantly I want the game to be stable and functional first.

Thank you for the patch. Good to see devs polishing the game. Agree that broken/bugged aspects need to be prioritised, but would welcome after that a review of the game balance. Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are referring to Nimble Giant Entertainment. nimblegiant.com

Hello The-Cat-o-Nine-Tales,

There is one more STEAM related bug: The Awakening DLC is missing from the "Complete your Collection BUNDLE"
Could you please add it to the ES2 bundle steam offer?

[Drunken Sailor]

Nice to see that the game still have uptades comming, just bought the complete pack last week. Please, improve the alliances with the IA, is pretty annoying when you are about to take a system and the IA who you are allied with truce with the opposing faction. Thanks, love the Endless Universe.

I notice that too, now I'm not sure with getting this expansion because of the balance problem people are talking about.

I appreciate every patch to the game. I do hope though that the fix for tooltip not displaying all bonuses & maluses is going to be included in the "series of patches", because despite being a seasoned player, I would still like to be able to view all tooltips with all the information at any given time.

[Sizzlor]

Im very happy that the quest laws work again. I enjoy my stacking industry bonuses. Not too sure how the spear of Isander is imbalanced though. The few times I ran up against it I blew it up for science. Still Im glad this game is still getting some love.

NimbleGiant is, in a way, the successor to NGD. When we worked with them on Awakening and the Endless Legend DLCs, they were still known as NGD.

I'll be honest, I would not hold my breath if I were you. They had already been trying for a long time when I joined Amplitude, and kept trying for a long time after I joined, but I don't think anybody ever managed to find a fix for it or even a reliable way to reproduce it. We'd love to fix it, but being unable to recreate the problem on the spot makes fixing it really difficult.

I'm happy to see patches again. Thanks!

Hello to the developers!
I'm glad that you bring the game to mind (with all the DLS, I caught bugs one by one)
I want to express my great respect for this creation

And also, so that you know - I am ready to buy all the DLS that you will release. The last addition (Awaken) - and the truth is weak. And not even just a weak one - the game for this fraction is just enraging!

In addition, when I tried to make the achievement “shared vision” (with the transfer of a half-galaxy to Isander), I caught a bug and could not complete the quest. Given that the card took about a full three days, I got furious, downloaded the trainer and hacked the achive. I was very angry. To understand - there were 25 of my systems in the galaxy, and more than a hundred of Isander.

But I repeat - the game is just a gun. Release add-ons. I will gladly buy them all.

(Isn't ES3 planned?) _
