Since they finally decided to exit early access I decided it was time to download my drm-free game. Of course it crashes during loading. And in sympathy, Firefox on my tablet crashed as I started to type this!

Outstanding! Long live technology making our lives simple and care free.

I think the game has a few teething problems, but they have issued several hotfixes in the last week and seem responsive to reports of issues. They have promised support and free content for some time and we may even see some DLC. The planetary development system is a game by itself. They have included some templates so that you can just tell a planet to build a whole program of buildings (ag planets, R&D planets, etc). This should help with MM in large, long games. I am having trouble with the ship design/build windows right now.

Backed this 4? years ago. Since they finally decided to exit early access I decided it was time to download my drm-free game. Of course it crashes during loading. And in sympathy, Firefox on my tablet crashed as I started to type this!

Consistency is often under-rated, don't you think? :hug:

And their comment on downloading the drm free version is that the would contact me after major updates. I didn't realize they would offer only minor support for that version.

So I recently built a new Win 10 computer and tried Predistination on it. Still crashes. Anyone get the DRM free version of the game to run?

Predestination just got a fairly significant update with hints about future work.

Awesome! Glad to see they're still supporting/improving the game.

Is it any good? It's 50% off on Steam so I might just grab it

It is worth a look. I have not played enough of the recent iterations to say more - not enough time. I WILL be playing it sometime. It has several different twists to it and is worth a look, I think.

They supposedly fixed a problem with DRM free versions back in June but still haven't sent me a link to download the fixed version. They are apparently working on a new game and had put this one on hiatus for a while.

New patch out.
