Re-Awakening Hotfix Beta

[The-Cat-o-Nine-Tales]

Hello all,

We have just released a beta branch that should fix the Pending Turn with certain Academy Expansion settings, the desyncs in multiplayer, and several other less severe bugs.
You can access this version by selecting the patchpreview branch on the betas tab of the game's properties. Once we are confident these fixes do not cause unexpected major issues, they will be officially released as a patch.
Many thanks to Ninakoru, CaptainCobbs, and Knofbath for their help finding the fixes to these issues.

So awesome! Thanks for polishing up this game!

[Esch1lus]

thanks a lot for your effort

[Skummeh]

Looks like most of these are from the Community Fixes mod and it's great they are being applied to the base game by default. Thank you all for getting this done!

[Nabukadnezar]

Thank you, you're awesome.

Yes, indeed. Cobbs, Knofbath, and Ninakoru have kindly given us the right to integrate these in the official release, and I am very grateful for that. We'll see to adding them to the credits in the special thanks section (though I think they may already be there)

[Tachanka]

Good news!

[CrazyMan]

[Elitewrecker PT]

It's an automatic patch.

There are issues with loading a save game, it just gives an error message then crashes

Since we made major changes to the structure of the metaplot quest, old saves may not be compatible.

vodyani quest on turn 5 is impossible now on hard or above with any combination of weapons using the whole fleet?

so we just have to start over now, or will y'all make the patch more compatible?

[webkilla]

since this update, when I play the game (no mods) - regardless of what faction I play, when I reach around round 120-130, the game just... freezes.

If I reload the latest auto-save, it'll just freeze. If I load the auto-save from the round before, it'll freeze again when it reaches the next round.

WTF?

[SilasOfBorg]

Does this hotfix fix the Riftborn Singularity bug ( https://community.amplitude-studios.com/amplitude-studios/endless-space-2/forums/114-bug-reports/threads/36571-possible-riftborn-singularity-persistence-stacking-bug?page=1 ) ?

Is this even still a thing? I can't find any evidence that it has been fixed, but it seems like a total game-breaker if the Riftborn are present.
