Reply to New Steam achievements for Snathi and Mercenaries in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="2" id="3628975"] So if I want to get the Mercenaries campaign achievement, I guess I should abandon my current game, wait for the next 1.7 beta, and then start the campaign over again? Thanks. [/quote] If you want the achievement, you can pause your game until the next release. You don't have to restart an in-progress game to get the achievement.

[quote who="Kibou81" reply="4" id="3628938"] It's not a crash, it's the issue where some AI player's turn never ends and you can't continue the game. It's an issue that occurs randomly, so unfortunately, you can't reproduce it from a savegame. I'm asking about the fix in 1.7 because I'm not that keen on installing a Beta version. If there is a fix in there and good reason to believe it might help, I'll give it a try, otherwise I'll stick

We will be adding the achievements for 1.7. We have to add them first to steam to test them before putting out the next version of the game. The new achievements should be fully supported in the next beta of 1.7.

[quote who="lycan371" reply="22" id="3628625"] Hi, One thing that must have been mentioned somewhere but I can't immediately find is that the favourites selection in the shipyard list gets lost each time you reload a game - obviously it should be retained. Cheers, Jon [/quote] Thanks Jon. We've already fixed this internally and it will be in the next release.

[quote]3. I know the devs are aware of some of the random crashes to desktop (usually in late game), audio dropping out, and the strange bug where you get into a quick combat and the lasers flash and other weapons slooooooowly drift across the screen making the game unresponsive until they apparently traverse the map. Minor annoyances, but they do detract from the experience. [/quote] If you get a crash, be sure to file a ticket with a save and dmp file so we can look into
