Beach day on Abydos - Open beta patch 3.2.1
Hello everyone! After we spend some beach days on Abydos during our summer break, we are happy to release version 3.2.1 for the open beta today.
This patch fixes a major bug in the Stargate Galaxies GC causing the game to be frozen when playing as Goauld or Wraith. Four new unique ground maps have been added (including the iconic Abydos!) and many custom maps now feature indigenous Rebel Jaffa or Tokra. Further, many enemies have been added to most of the new planets and factions now all have better expansion progression in the early game. SG1/SGA will now go on respawn cooldown if ANY member dies in tactical (the old script didn’t work reliably). Many minor issues have of course been addressed as well, see below for details.
Please note that your old saves of the Stargate Galaxies GC might no longer work and that some of the changes will only apply to games started after the update.
Let us know on Discord what you think about the latest changes.
