Stellaris Dev Diary 301 - Galactic Paragons is out, what's next?

by EladrinHi all!

Galactic Paragons and the first hotfix have been released on all PC platforms, and we're working on a balance and bugfixing patch that we're currently targeting for the end of the month.

Please keep on providing your thoughts and feedback. Based on the feedback you've all provided thus far, we are creating a plan for fixes and improvements.

While it's possible that we may release a stability hotfix before the balance patch, it will not include any design changes.

Cooperative Mode and Out of SyncsThe 3. 8. 2 hotfix took care of a number of out of sync issues, but there are more to hunt down.

The programming team is focusing heavily on clearing these up, so every bit of information we can get is helpful.

If you're running into frequent out of sync issues, you can help us out a lot by having the host add these startup parameters to their game:-randomlog -randomlog_stack=5 -randomlog_frames=3​Then, if you run into an Out of Sync, please post in the Bug Report forum and give us the Host's OOS logs as well as at least one of the clients that the popup mentioned.

(OOS logs can be found in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\oos near your save games. ) Any details you can provide about what you were doing at the time is also helpful.

This setting has some performance implications (which is why it's not on by default), but if you're running into OOSes reliably, it can really help us track them down.
