We now have a feedback thread here. Please use the above thread for your feedback everyone and thank you for helping us test this build.

How To Handle Space Bugs So you want to help us deal with space bugs huh? Well, there are plenty of them. Here we will give you some pointers on how to best help us. Go to give feedback You can also create your own unique threads and link them here. But include at least the basic details here! <l

[quote who="nokmirt" reply="2" id="3815444"] Awesome! When will 0.5 be released? [/quote] Not this week. The test branch will be updated next week though.

Yeah you need both ideology and culture points to unlock particular boons.

But I sent you a trade offer... Thank you for your kind words Teland. The trading is something that is going to be an ongoing thing to tweak with the AI. I'll pass this post along.

Just remember we plan on launching a big update each month. So don't get too attached to any one run whilst we're in alpha.

Would you prefer it if the nameplates conveyed additional information?

This build is now retired. Please update and verify. Next build

This is now on the LIVE branch for GalCiv IV. Please update and verify your files!

Thank you for the feedback everyone! We are reading it all.

It is now available in testing. Feedback thread here: https://forums.galciv4.com/505921/

Going to lock this thread now. We are releasing 0.45 very soon and will have a dedicated feedback thread for the version that goes live. It will start with the testing branch before going live to give us a chance to find critical bugs.

I find this argument a little poor honestly. For two main reasons: 1) Epic is still a privately owned company and whilst Tencent owns a cut they don't have a controlling share. 2) It's harder to find companies that Tencent doesn't have a cut in. From Discord to Reddit, Blizzard to Paradox they're everywhere. Of course it's your choice where you spend your money but if that is the issue for you then you're gonna find vanishingly fewer games to enjoy.

Please don't make multiple posts in the same thread for different questions like this. The UI is being worked on still. As for sys requirements you can find them in our FAQ. The game is NOT optimized yet. But if you can GC3 you should be fine running GC4, the biggest bump is in GPU requirements for the new graphics. https://www.galciv4.com/faq

[quote who="MagiK1" reply="34" id="3810001"] Does the existance of GalCiv IV mean Gal Cive 3 availability will disappear along with our digital bits to play the game because some 3rd party launcher decides it needs for sever space? [/quote] GalCiv 3 isn't going anywhere and in fact we will continue to have updates.

Yeah the current tech setup is by no means final. The big issue is making a "tech tree" that works with the more dynamic way you can get techs and aren't always exclusive or might require multiple prereqs etc. This two lane system you're proposing is interesting but as always this also comes back to scope creep and if it's worth maintaining two different systems for what is just one aspect of the game. I'll run it by the team though.

[quote who="ops862" reply="6" id="3809735"] Thank you all for your replies. SchismNavigator. Stardock 'appears' to "maintain independant downloaders, managers and various apparatus to handle payment processing etc." for it's other software but not GalCiv ? Falconer. I remember being shocked in my early days at Steam at somehow receiving a readout of the information Steam had collected on me. Which included the exact hardware and ALL installed software de

Just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who has been posting in this thread. You're helping us make GalCiv IV the best game it can be!

Probably not. It's just not viable for developers to maintain independent downloaders, managers and various apparatus to handle payment processing etc. It should be noted right now on EGS you can launch the game without launching the EGS client. But you do still need the client to download the game and update. The same is true of our games on Steam and even GOG has its limitations. This is just the way games are sold and distributed these days.

This is so great I'm going to pin it!

Interesting idea.

[quote who="The-MadMan" reply="14" id="3809036"] I know I'm in a very small minority, but Epic Store is a non-starter for me. I'm a Linux gamer, and the Epic store is a major PITA to use. I am, however, a major Stardock supporter and own multiple franchises and DLC. Subscribing to the thread for when GC4 becomes more available for my needs. [/quote] I've run EGS via Lutris on Manjaro before and was able to install and run GalCiv 3 on it. To be

[quote who="FightingFarmer" reply="10" id="3808998"] I wish someone with Stardock would reply because Epic is currently having a sale in which you would get a $10 discount if you bought the game but the sale ends on the 17th. This game I would not buy on Epic without a confirmation that I would get a Steam key when the game comes to Steam. That is because of the Steam workshop and its mods.
