<blockquote>It took us some time, but here it is. Again, this is mostly bug fixing. No new major functionality has been implemented. But the list of bugs fixed (and some balancing changes) is not that short either. For those of you who don&rsquo;t know the drill: Download the new version (its a full package, not a patch). Extract to a new folder. Optionally run the extractor. Finally, copy your saves from 0.96 into 0.97 if you have any. As always &ndash; report bugs on the forum.

new patch for Star Ruler on the forum as well.

Is Star Ruler in a playable state?

 

This patch seems to improve the stability a lot. They found and fixed several major bugs that had been causing crashing. Each patch keeps adding features as well.

 

I like Star Ruler. I made sure to not remove it from inventory first(as so many 4X games these days seem to be released barely finished and then to make it worse are barely supported), but with all the effort done to support it, I think I'll throw them a bone, as it is a different and enjoyable enough experience compared to the usual style of 4X game. Reminds me a bit of Hegemonia crossed with Homeworld more than sterile SOSE ever did.

 

EUIII Heir to the Throne also received a patch in the past week I believe.
