Opt in 1.5.1 Patch

[Jamor]

Hi all,

We've spent the day making an optional 1.5.1 beta patch to address some day 1 issues. Details here:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...nks-released-not-for-problem-reports.1010281/

Please give it a try if you like. We welcome all feedback and will continue to work when we get back to the office. Have fun playing over the weekend!

Great, I was just about to start a new game! Is the achievement bug fixed? I don't see this in the patch notes although other ironman stuff is mentioned.

 

[Dalos]

Thank you very much! Does this also work for old ironman games or these are "lost"?

First two lines...

I fail to see how an icon and a forced save on exit equals achievements working again.

* Ironman now saves when exiting to main menu
* Ironman games now properly show an icon to mark them as ironman

 

[Dalos]

Because they just fixed the icon...

Suppose it's connected to the flag that mark game as ironman game.

Sorry guys, the achievement thing proved to be heavy and we didn't want to risk pushing an untested hacky fix right before the weekend. We're going to get it next week if we can, and the fix we expect *should* retroactively unlock achievements for those who've got them, as long as the unlocking conditions are still valid in your save.

 

[Dalos]

So it's really just an icon? I apologize, then... :O

Thank you for your response! That's okay I guess, better the game is running a bit better than a new huge problem due to an untested hack. Have a nice weekend!

Don't worry, no harm done. I just knew that it was to good to be true that the hotfix would come on right as I started the game and so I was a bit cautious and asked.

I don't see anything in the beta patch notes about fixing the policies but that makes it so xenophobes can't allow slavery if they are also egalitarian. @GAGA Extrem said it was working fine in a beta build, so did that fixed policies.txt not make it into the beta patch we're getting?

Looks like 3 of the issues in noticed (Uplifted Random, Hivemind Processing, Ironman Saving) are already fixed in that hotfix.

The hotfix probably used a different branch. Quite possible that that specific change wasn't merged in, since only major issues were addressed.

A shame. I hope the new policies.txt at least makes it into the Monday patch. Looks like it's hive mind this weekend, and probably more messing around with everything that isn't xenophobe.

Does that mean the achievement notification pop when the conditions are met in one's save and that you do not have to do a new fresh game?

 

[Bobylein]

Cooool! Was just frustrated by the faction bugs, good to see that you are so fast with a hotfix beta.

Edit: Doesn't fix bugs from 1.5 saves Well, start over I guess.

 

[Ex Mudder]

20 years in, just colonized second planet... and no factions have appeared yet. I'd usually have 2 by this point in 1.5.0

I would also like to know this too, I do not want to waste a whole game knowing that I have to restart a week later for achievements.

So far no uplifted species in new starts.

Hmm, seems like a major issue in my book as it invalidates certain playthroughs, but oh well, I'll keep using the hack you sent me and hold off on patching until this is addressed

 

[henzington]

It's also a matter of making sure the fix doesn't break something else
