Optin updated. See original post for details (oh so many changes!).

"soon" is "now" :)

[quote who="hetman" reply="3" id="3730393"] Looks awesome. Is there any rough timelines on when we might expect this to be out? [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] Is "soon" too rough? :) We're waiting on QA to make sure there are no obvious showstoppers. Once it's clear, we'll put it up.

[quote who="Starkillr" reply="1" id="3730339"] Not sure if you fixed this as part of the Arcturus fix, but the Maelnari trading ship is stuck in the star and is inaccessible. [/quote] I think so. I'll double check with our designer

Hello, We have prepared a substantial patch for you. While there's something for everyone, here are some of the highlights: Updated ship components As a rule, early game components are cheaper, whereas late game components are more expensive. Late game components are generally more effective. Planet min

Hey folks, We've have reports of people crashing on planets (especially the graphically heavy planets such as Venus). Although we can't reproduce the problem internally, we may have a workaround fix. If you are crashing on planets, would you be willing to try out a private build? Here is how to access it: Select Star Control: Origins in your Steam Library list Right-click and select Properties Select the BETAS t

[quote who="Razordreamz" reply="1" id="3729268"] Same thing happened to me. I just started over for fun, so we will see if this happens again this play through. [/quote] When did you start your game? We had a fix for this that went out last week.

[quote who="Taslios" reply="5" id="3728979"] Silly question, but do you need to start a new game to see these changes or do the retroactively apply to in progress games? [/quote] Not silly at all! Most of the changes are retroactive. That is, you don't need to start a new game for the most part.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="2" id="3728959"] With the opt-in I can no longer tell which systems I've visited on the star map. Before the opt-in the faded stars were pretty obvious, but now I can't tell the difference. [/quote] Are you talking about the text labels?

What do you have your virtual memory set to? What are you graphics settings?

We made some crash fixes in the latest opt-in. If you're still having trouble, please check it out: https://forums.starcontrol.com/491406/star-control-origins-v102-opt-in-1002

Hello, Greetings! We are working on a balance and stability patch for you. We've increased the number of resources found on select worlds and made the drones a bit less deadly. Also, we've fixed some crashed related to landing on planets. Please read below for details: Gameplay Quasi-Degenerate

Can you send me your run log and settings files? Both can be found here: \My Games\Star Control [email protected]

[quote quoting="post"] I paid for StarControl way back when - - - I have downloaded from "Steam" twice - uninstalled and re-installed. I have checked "Requirements" "firewall" checked all game requirements on steam and this Game will not start or Run on steam. Followed all the Steam suggestions and checked the Steam settings. Everything else runs fine but this one will not. Can your company look in to this for me??? [/quote] When y

[quote quoting="post"] I've been playing for a few days, and had gotten used to making use of the automated saved games that appeared to be done every 10-15 minutes. Next thing I know, there's a period of 4.5 hours without a single automated backup. Why the discrepancy ? Is it only certain events that trigger a backup ? I found myself in an unwinnable situation and wanted to go back 10-15 minutes in the past to reconfigure my ship and saw to my su

[quote quoting="post"] Hi there, when I just installed the game I noticed the main screen is bugged to me. I have not: new game/load game/options, but all with AU/new game/text and I can't see all options on the screen. Tried resolutions, not fixing this. Even in game planets have Ui/earth/text instead of just Earth. The second problem is the game crashes when I try to enter any planet. I tried help from your website known fixes, but there are no problems with UI texts, just crashes. Eve

Hey folks, Just a quick balance update before the weekend. Have a good one everyone! Merchants respond to galactic mineral market pricing

[quote who="SeniorOp" reply="16" id="3728224"] So, How can I check whether the patch is installed? [/quote] On the main menu, it should say v1.01.53103 I'm seeing the lines on my build here. What graphics setting are you on?

[quote who="SeniorOp" reply="13" id="3728206"] OK, thanks. I guess I just have to wait for Steam to get around to it ... because it's not shown up yet. [/quote] You may need to restart steam to get it to pull down the latest.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="10" id="3728176"] The campaign difficulty from the Options menu is Easy. I am not using the fleet coordinator. I just replayed the battle again and managed to win while losing 6 ships, including 3 Mu'Kay. Maybe I was having a really bad day yesterday. BTW, while attempting to load my save I hit escape while the AMD ad was displaying (before the intro video started), then when I loaded my saved game instead of seein

Patch is live folks.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="6" id="3728167"] Before installing this opt-in I had released the Xraki and defeated their Juggernaut headed to Earth, at the cost of 3 of my own ships. After installing this opt-in, I have now lost 3 entire 14 ship fleets trying to defeat the Juggernaut heading towards the Pinthi home world. Did the opt-in significantly change the difficulty level? Even after adding two fleet defense modules (at +20% each) I lost badly. And I'm playing on th

[quote who="Isox2121" reply="1" id="3728001"] Any method to get the opt-in if on GOG? [/quote] No we don't have opt-ins on gog.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="2" id="3728006"] I opted in, loaded up my saved game, and immediately got a bunch of the missing Steam achievements. However, I think I'm still missing: Earful Carnivore If Earful is awarded for fully resolving the Drenkend attacks on the Mu'Kay and all other non-three ear species, I've done that. And I'm now sure I've collected more than 100 critter meat for Carnivore. Although those would, like the others, be retroactiv

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3727722"] Are the other missing achievements (besides the first contact) also being fixed? For example, I should have gotten the following during my campaign so far: Ovoid Earful Ice Road Spacer Flu Shot Uncomfortable Took the Bait And I think I should have gotten these, but I wasn't counting, so I might not have gotten to the right quantity yet: Kzanti Killer Carnivore [/qu
