When I traded for the Tech that enables using and trading the Diplomatic Points, I thought I was supposed to get 100 points to start with, and I think that I did not get the 100 points.

Are you on the test version? That's the one that .60.

I have a stuck turn in a new game with version 0.60.208431a that is repeatable.  It is the type of stuck turn that can be "fixed" by going to the main menu and opening the Victory Status.  It happens twice in the same turn.  The second time is after the first has been "fixed".

The save that shows this problem is available here.

To see the problem, do the following:

1. Load save.
2. Go to next turn.
3. Answer No to colonize planet.
4. Go to idle ship and choose pass.
5. Go to next idle ship and choose pass.
6. Go to third idle ship and choose pass.
7. Game will hang with Krynn Syndicate showing at bottom right.

To Remove the Hang:

1. Bring up main menu.
2. Click on Victory Status button.
3. Game will start progressing while Victory Status screen is loading.
4. Click on Done to exit Victory Status.
5. Game will hang with Xeloxi showing at bottom right.
6. Repeat Victory Status steps to remove hang.
7. Game will continue without a problem to your turn.

I meet a alien civilization and am getting the choice to research the translator tech, but it never comes available to research. Is this happening to anyone else? 

Pirate ship breaking its tether and chasing my probe all over the sector.

In GC4 pirate ships are “tethered” to their shipyard and can’t go too far from it.  Shortly after loading a save in my current game in 0.60.208431a I saw a pirate ship that was well beyond its tether.  It looked like it was chasing one of my automated probes, so I took control of my probe and began moving it to verify the pirate ship knew where my probe was at all times and would chase it anywhere in the sector.

I reloaded the save that I started from and used console commands to see what was happening.  The pirate ship may or may not have been beyond its tether, but it was already chasing the probe, which wasn’t very far away.

The “chasing a ship wherever it goes without being able to see it” has existed since GalCiv2, so I’m not concerned about that.  This is just a bug report about the pirate ship breaking its tether.  The chasing comes “naturally” after the tether is broken.

To see this in action, load the save here.  The probe, pirate ship (Sniper-49) and shipyard are located as shown in this screenshot.
Use the appropriate commands to see what is happening in the fow, play the game a few turns, and watch Sniper-49 chase the probe.  After that, take control of the probe, and move it left to the far edge of the sector.  Play more turns and watch Sniper-49 follow the probe all the way to the left side of the sector, which is far beyond its tether.  Again, it’s Sniper-49 breaking the tether I’m reporting.

Any timeline when .6 will move to the regular version? I want to start a new game but I’m waiting to test out the new version after freezing my last game. I’d download both but I only got a 1TB hard drive. Although if it’s gonna be 3 weeks or more I might download both.

I do not know if this was on the list of fixes, but applying the Chimeric Biomass to a world still does not work in 0.6.  The following screen snapshot shows a world where I applied a Chimeric Biomass.  The class of the world increased from 18 to 20, but if you count the tiles there are only 18 and no undeveloped tiles.

Where do I get it? My Epic launcher only shows v0.55 alpha

I got 23 hours into a game and it is moving so slow it is almost unplayable. I am on the 2nd to largest map. It says you only need 12gb of RAM and I have 32. Does anyone know what goes on with a big map from a computer science perspective? There has to be something else causing this. I am not sure if it is my computer or the game. I have a top of the line 2021 gaming laptop. 

This is the most recent changelog for version 60 that I have seen.  It's one iteration behind, probably not enough big changes for them to do an updated changelog yet.

Galactic Civilizations IV 0.6 Changelog

I'm running 12 AI at the moment. I haven't experienced any issues other than dumb AI play, i.e. sending unarmed transports to invade one of my planets unescorted. 

I noticed that the lag time gets bad when my colony counts surpasses 200. Maybe it's more about the colony count in the exact size of the map.
