More than a hotfix, but we’re calling it one anyway!
- NEW - Texture Quality Setting
- We’ve added a new setting to Settings → Graphics → Rendering Device to adjust the texture quality of units in the game.
- Adjust this if you’re on a laptop or on Steam Deck, as those systems use Shared Memory for graphics and will crash if you run out of it. This is the #1 cause of crashes for players on these systems.
- Custom Portraits
- Updated default custom portrait directory for the legacy AI artwork so users can select pictures from previous versions.
- Made various custom portrait bug fixes (e.g., garbage elements showing between menus, custom portrait selection not ‘sticking’ between menus/sessions).
- Updated to allow you to use custom portraits for AI players.
- Fixed bug where the map generator would incorrectly count planets.
- Fixed bug that allowed quicksaving in tutorials.
- Fixed various save game compatibility bugs.
- Fixed the Map Search bar not working in the Change Map dialog.
- Various localization fixes (more incoming).
