I have not played it since release but I still have it installed on STEAM so I'll start it up soon and try it again, hope you're right!
This is good news. I had faith, despite nearly refusing the play the game until it reached this stage. Glad to finally get to a place where I can get some value from my $60 investment.
Well I bought this game a couple months ago figuring this day would come. I didn't buy it out the gate since I rarely do that anymore after several sad lessons at my expense. So yeah, I waited a couple months, made sure they were committed to fixing it and then I bought the game a couple months ago simply to show my support for this genre and the fact that I was pretty confident that they'd get to this point, eventually. Have to say I am very happy to see this milestone reached for them. This is due to the fact that imo I've never seen a company get more stones thrown at them and continue to plug away at a product on nothing more than pretty much a promise that they'd fix it. Respect to them for that and all the people that pushed the game to this point...yes...even the people screaming for refunds. Now let's never repeat this ordeal again please...yeah right. 
:happy:

All clear but still near total lack of informative tooltips and still the same old GUI lag. And still no scenarios.. nor proper tutorial ;p It is playable and even a bit fun (waiting for mods to fix the balance) so it's not all that bad But seeing that Kerberus announced this silly dungeon crawler in SOTS universe that means less people working on SOTS2, no?
The Sotspedia by the way isn't in need of tuning.. it needs a complete redesign. It offers 0 correct information.

I 2nd this. Game is actually playable now, but definitely not complete. Still not in a proper "release" state.
Maps?
It would be nice if the new maps release allowed you to set how many stars you had in a system. Perhaps the map system could be revised into a completely customizable thing. Also you said that it is up to release par for game playability, but it still gets laggy after more than 30 minutes playing and expanding. What gives?

On what system are you playing? I've played as long as 9 hours straight without anything like that, and an average game is 3-5 hours in one sitting for me. That's on either of my systems (one AMD + ATI HD 4670 1Gig w/4Gig Mem and one i5 + Nvidia GT 550M 1 Gig w/6Gig Mem).
Most people complaining about lag don`t even have the recommended specs, which are way to low anyway.
Just checking in the forums today and found this news! Amazing guys, well done. This must be a special month as Fallen Enchantress 1.0 comes out later today! Two long journeys with great teams and incredible results. I am a very happy panda!
I have the I5 processor @ 3.33 ghz and 4 gb RAM with a ATI radeon 4800 series graphics. I do believe it is up to par.
And I was being retarded when I said lag. What I meant was that the time between turns while it's processing the AIs is way to long and lengthens every turn. It would be nice to be able to have a quick turn processing time. My comp is fine it's the game on this one.
And yes I know that even some of the better games that are turned based get that way toward mid-late game. Civ 5 does it to me but only near the end. SOTS 2 does it from about 30 minutes out and continues to take longer and longer the further out you go. It's just annoying.

On the surface it sounds like it, but what is running in the background, what are your temps at, do you know if your system is throttling down. Also what resolution are you playing at (1600x1200 on my desktop and 1600x900 on my laptop). I have everything turned on (except blur which I don't like) and windows (I like full screen), also I don't run x64 on my laptop since it doesn't like Optimus. Just trying to figure out why you seem to have lag and such after 30minutes and I and many others are not. My i5 btw is a second gen -- Intel Core i5-2430M Processor (and laptop to boot) and it runs SOTS 2 better then my desktop (Phenom 9950 BE quad core). My desktop is 2.6GHz and my i5 is 2.4GHz (with boosting to 2.8Ghz when dual core is active and 3.0Ghz at single core). My temps are in the mid-50's for my desktop and mid-50's to 60's on my laptop (depending on external temp and if I have my laptop cooler underneath turned on (fan). Like I said I've played for hours and hours on either machine without any lag or slowdown, so I wonder.

I play this on a core 2 duo laptop (running at 3.1GHz) with an old 5X series Radeon mobile card in. Never had any lag at all.
Not saying people don't get it, but not something that's ever hit me.
On my desktop with a (2500K at stock and 570 GFX card - 8 gigs ram - win 7 premium 64 bit) it is also properly smooth, and that has a TON of stuff running in the background.
Scritty
So far so good
Pretty happy with the latest patching. AI actually fights/plays much better. UI is better. Good job on those patches, keep it up.
Anybody look to see if scenarios were active yet?

All clear my eye, having read this, figured I would give it another go, 5 DIFFERENT games in a row crashed, and hours of MY free time wasted, this is on a clean system with more than enough grunt and memory to handle the game; quite simply it is still buggy as hell. I also read that many systems still do not work as described in the manual, making training some techs pointless.
