Hey Commanders!

Oracle predicted you guys could experience issues with the game after the Star Kings Release. We're rolling out a patch to your games that is aimed at addressing some of the critical issue the community has reported.

It's great seeing everybody enjoying the Star Kings Expansion and the new Galactic Empire mode, and I can't wait to see the Empires you create. Without further ado I present the Triceratops Hotfix. Enjoy commanders!

Is Score Victory completely disabled or is it just allowed to disable it in the planet options (which was the request by many, and keeps the choice to the player)?
Score Victory is completely disabled. We know and understand that players would prefer the option to customise it themselves however it's not in the planning for the foreseeable future. Our first focus is on addressing critical issues related to Star Kings & the Galactic Empire before we look ahead at other patches.

Comment regarding the crashes since Hotfix
Hey Guys, We've indeed seen a large uptick in the amount of crashes that occur since the hotfix went live. We're investigating what is causing them. Hopefully I can get to you with new information later in the day.

Yeah, currently playing in open beta because I wanted to get started on galactic empire mode and heard that current live version doesn't save progress for it. Ctd happened when I got attacked by one of enemies eight stack army. Reloaded save and same attack didn't cause ctd. Sent the crash report for it.

The Open Beta & default Branch are both on the same version at this moment. The save issue is Steam Specific so we only list it in the Steam Patch notes.

Just to be clear, the auto-crash reporter that pops up on a CTD, is that useful to you guys, or just a steam thing?

That's ours, however in most cases i.e. normally when the game crashes on occasion and not all the time, you need to copy the name into your Bug Report. Otherwise we can't track it down or won't know which is yours.

My friend and I are loosing option to build residential sectors in MP and the ability to target units with condemned to drained. We abandon our first gane because of that. Launched a new one, check and check, can build residential, can create drained. Now turn 25 we cannot anymore do any of those. Frustrating.
 
You cannot build residential sectors in mountains, maybe that is the problem?
Thanks for pointing that out. We'll check. I doub that is the case given the number of attempts, that'd be quite the coincidence. How about volcanic then?

Edit: It was the mountains! Thanks. Remains the problem of not being able to create drained.
