The experimental Beta Builds analysis

[Stan]

Hello
I was just wondering before I get to far in Vanilla does the other noted builds add length extra content, difficulties and which one would you recommend with less bugs as possible. Or are they even worth considering. I would appreciate your take.
Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding.
Best Regard's Stan

Experimental 5.0 lets you finish the game. There are bugs, but I none that stopped me personally from finishing.

[Stan]

seriously?
is 5.0 the final or close to it?

Can´t progress endgame right now. Im in Phase 4 where every 2 weeks a city get attacked. all research done, There was research that should let me infiltrate / attack the base that launches the attack, but i dont get that option. Am i missing something, or is it a bug?

[Stan]

You need to complete UOO1 mission to reduce panic globally + getting more time before the next bomb strike and try to capture Ethereal alien.
You can also capture him on the battleship.
It will unlock operation endgame.

The experimental build is ver. 5.5 now and will be released on stable branch in a few weeks.
5.0 version is the first you can complete the game.

The final milestone should be 6.xx and will focus on balancing, tunning the content, fixing bugs and Community feedback (suggestions).

There´s no date for final release yet but I guess around middle of the year..

Thanks Mr. Tester

I have done the plot research for the mission, but there is no mission or another research after the little cut scene dialogue. Do I need to do something specfic to unlock U001 mission beside the research?

[Stan]

Is the New Branch Stable enough to play now before I get too far since I'm new and just did the go gather intel 1st mission too guys?
Thanks.

Thanks.

You can complete (or at least I could) game till the end but there are some small bugs here and there and probably some balance issues and missing text etc.

If you dont mind waiting a few weeks for stable branch I would recommend this but it´s up to you.

Try to post picture of your screen.
Just note that you need to launch the mission by pressing the button (down the screen).

In what phase are you now?

[Stan]

6.0 will have full mod support i guess?

i mean thats almost the most important part, if we look at X1.

[Stan]

Well then Wilhelm, 6.0 might also bring about a Community Edition right? I'm thinking.

I have 50+ hours in the current game. It was fun. I am waiting for the 5.0 to go main branch.
