One more before the weekend!

We have another patch today to fix the save game crash once and for all. (I hope.) This one made up 95% of the crashes that occurred in the last 24 hours, so we're feeling good about it. If you're still seeing crashing after this hotfix, please post your save in the bug report forum - it helps
a lot.

4.0.20 is deploying now and should make it to all platforms today.

Spoiler: STELLARIS 4.0.20 HOTFIX NOTES

Stellaris 4.0.20 Hotfix

  • Stability: Fixed a remaining issue with loading savegames crashing or freezing the game.

Have a nice weekend!

Edit: stellaris_test has been updated with this as well, with the faster save game transfer. We've added a toggle in settings so you can turn it on and off (defaults to fase), and if this weekend goes well we're expecting to include it in next week's patch.
