GC Patch #109.6 - Event Rewards, Convergence.
*Summary
Detail
GC Patch #109.6 is live.
New: Event Rewards
Taking part in a galactic event now pays a currency called Event Points and there is a page to spend them on, under Options - Event Rewards. Artifact stacks, infrastructure research levels and Galactic Credits are granted the moment you redeem. A homeworld terraform, a homeworld removal and a week of the event reward ship are marked Admin and applied by hand: open a Help Center ticket and your points come off when it is applied. Your balance and every grant and spend against it are listed on the page. Points do not expire and they survive a restart.
The Convergence has ended
The event hub is closed and the faction war fleets are gone from the game. The result is kept permanently under Information - Events: the winning faction, the final tokens and power destroyed on both sides, every war fleet, and the empires who contributed.
Fixes
- Withdrawing from the market no longer destroys what does not fit. Only what fits is credited, the remainder stays listed on the market, and the page tells you how much was left behind. Expired listings that come back to you follow the same rule.
- The mineral income display on the Income page was being trimmed at a figure far below your actual storage limit, so it showed incorrect mineral numbers past the old 2 billion limit.
- Mission completion works again - the Click here button on a completed mission did nothing, on every race and every act.
- Forms that stopped submitting after #109.5 work again: the target fields and Confirm on both attack screens, Confirm on colony upgrade, choosing your race in Options, editing your federation details, and the investment form on a project.
- The summary of what your turns produced is back at the end of turn.
- Reporting chat abuse has been rebuilt: a Report button on every post, a form that submits, a Cancel, and paging back through older chat. The five-a-day limit is now counted over a real 24 hours.
- Empire and federation names written with special characters display properly across the federation pages instead of showing raw character codes.
- Your federation no longer counts applications from players who have since joined a different federation as still pending.
- Forum sections now open on their live threads, with archived ones a click away under Live plus archived. Back to the Game returns you to your Command Center.
- You stay logged in: the idle limit is now an hour and a half rather than thirty minutes, a game restart no longer logs everyone out, and Firefox on Android no longer drops you on Session expired shortly after your phone locks.
