The odds of a 2.6.4 bugfix patch happening seem... slim.
Haven't bought Federations or distant stars due to the bugs still present in the game. I was almost going to, until I saw the station upgrade bug, the allied military ai bugs, the inability to declare liberation wars as a federation bug, and so on.
And I won't be buying or playing seriously until they're fixed. I'm not asking the earth. I'm not even complaining about sector ai or lag. I just want the game to actually function.
And I have a bunch of friends who cba to keep as close a watch, waiting for my go ahead to buy dlc too. They agree that until these bugs are fixed, no money.
Robots that are released from servitude should no longer occasionally decide to use their newfound freedom to purge themselves.
Cannot agree more.Guys, I'm sorry to be the first to jump in and start complaining, but are Ethics ACTUALLY FIXED?
Reason I'm capsing is, it's the third announcement you guys have made stating they'd been fixed, and they still failed to shift towards the expected quotas.
More importantly, suppressing factions doesn't do a thing: my suppressed Spiritualist faction gets bigger than most other "minor" factions (aka the minor Ethic faction, and other minor factions like Xenophiles or Xenophobes that pop up due to bordering events, diplomacy, etc).
Edit: to clarify, I haven't tested it after this announcement yet, so I'll give it a shot later today through the Peaceful Unification origin, then Void-Dwellers for 100 years, and come back with the results. D:
That's a pretty significant bug.Why was it a bug to be able to replace shipyards?
Now if you replace the shipyard it no longer gets replaced and stays as a shipyard. You just can't built ships anymore. Or dismantle the broken shipyard because it is apparently in use even though i never build any ships.

01. This has to be translated into "hasn't introduced any completely new major issues", right ?Since the beta patch hasn't introduced any major issues, we've decided to put patch 2.6.3 live today/now
This has been the single biggest issue for me since the release of this expansion, and it STILL isn't fixed?No fix for CBs in Federations yet?
I hope this isn't the last patch before 2.7. There are major, major bugs in AI that need to be addressed:
the 2.6 AI energy budget changes have broken AI planning:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...pires-not-floating-500-energy-in-2-6.1360205/
... in particular, that seems to have affected AI not upgrading starbases, a HUGE balance issue that PDX has not commented on:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-3-fix-the-ai-starbase-upgrade-issue.1371095/
on a related point, sector management AI doesn't know what to do with the resources you give it, unless it's a monthly contribution -- the automation is broken, meaning players must micromanage ALL their planets:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...completely-broken-even-in-2-6-3-beta.1373618/
...when you put it all together, with the new military AI, you just get stagnation in the endgame where the crisis doesn't know how to kill AI empires and AI empires are too incompetent to fight a crisis (year 3304):

2.6.4, please! Just a few more fixes! We don't care about new features right now!
the problem is every new release also causes more problems.I'd personally rather they focus on making 2.7 a good release rather than continue to play whack-a-mole with bugs. Especially when it seems half of their 'fixes' cause more problems than they solve.
I bought Federations and consider it a good purchase; but I'm starting to worry more and more that this game is headed the way of HoI4, which had major issues releasing new content that was broken back the last time I played.
