[Dev Team] 2.2.7 patch released [checksums ea03 and b1a8]

[Jamor]

Hi all,

Just want to drop a line to inform you that 2.2.7 is now the official live version. It fixes a few gameplay and stability issues that came up with 2.2.6. The changelog is short so I'll just leave it right here without a spoiler cut:

#################################################################
######################### VERSION 2.2.7 ###########################
#################################################################

###################
# UI
###################

* Fixed species ethics wrongly displaying the same for all empires in the empire selection screen

###################
# Bugfixes
###################

* Fixed assimilation
* Fixed Machine and Hive world terraforming removing rare deposit types
* Fixed crash in tech progress tooltip while in observer mode
* Crashfix when invalid leaders are left in a country's leader pool
* Fixed broken localization for crisis purge jobs in non-English languages

Also, we're updating the stellaris_test branch to 2.2.7 as well. It contains all the same patch contents, but is required to be opted in to if you want to crossplay between Steam and GOG/Paradoxplaza versions.

Please note stellaris_test is an opt-in patch. You have to choose to activate it.
Steam library -> Right click on Stellaris -> Properties -> Betas tab -> choose "stellaris_test"

The checksum for the test version is b1a8. You must be on this version if you want to do multiplayer with a non-Steam user.

Any news regarding a 64-bit upgrade to the engine?

We are planning to, but we can't commit to a definitive timeline yet.

Good, now for some reason all my rare resource buildings are gone.

When a new patch hits you gotta disable you mods or wait for them to update.

edit - 2.2.7 is a minor patch, because it changes very little over what 2.2.6 did. Many mods will not be broken by 2.2.7.

While that may be true, I was replying to someone whose buidings were vanishing, which I am fairly sure is an outdated mod issue.

 

[Darkrenown]

Oh I see, that could be true too.

But my ivory tower is so comfortable!

Still i am using the 2.2.7 normal and default branch and these flags are missing. They appear if you use the 2.2.7 test branch. Isn't suppose that the flags where already launch for all to use outside of the beta branch? I like them, some of them are the right ones i was wishing to have and use in my empires

We said since that we still need help testing multiplayer on the beta branch, and for this reason the flags stay on the beta branch.
The beta branch is functionally identical to the normal branch right now, with the exception of the multiplayer where we use our own backend for compatibility with other platforms (GOG and Paradox Plaza), if you want the flags you can try it out
