Beta 1.72 seems stable

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've played through well over a hundred turns without any crashes so far, which was never possible for me with the previous 1.7 beta. It appears that the main crash issue has been repaired, for me anyway.

Is 1.72b available somewhere? It's not showing up on Stardock Central, even with betas enabled.

beta 2 is 1.70a[b].001 in SDC. Can't remember beta 1's number. You might also want to make sure your on US-1 server as US-2 doesn't always get the latest right away.

I've had some crashes, but nothing like the previous beta. These are sporadic, and as long as you save often, you can play...

Also got a new PC, and enabled force to use CPU. Needless to say, I'm having an amazing game. The AIs all did well in the colony rush, beat me to most super projects, and are actually doing pretty good at designing ships.

I've now played hundreds of turns without a single crash. All has ran smoothly.

For me it only crashs on ship to ship combat, and I'd say 1 out of 50 at that.

So it'll run fine until you get into a serious war. At least that's what I'm seeing. I've gotten into saving pretty much every turn. Again it is a beta, and as long as you save often it isn't too bad.

It has crashed with me during the fleet battle screen with multiple High powered ships.
