Greetings - I downloaded the 2.0- Public Beta, however, just after the Phoenix Rising screen it shuts down. I checked the files and it seems many are missing (for example XMLs). So, I thought perhaps I needed to have V1.2 downloaded and then add the V2.0 to it...which I did, however, V1.2 is ALSO missing many files and the same shut down right after the Phoenix Rising screen occurs. I have the GOG version. Any suggestions or ideas or...? Any info would be much appreciated.
Replying to Phoenix Rising v2.0 Public Beta

Yeah there should be a wrap-up patch for the ModDB version soon. It will become quite difficult to support it moving forward though, because that version will not be getting the save crash fixes the Steam version does. That means larger GCs may be impossible to support for non-Steam versions in the future.

Hi evilbob. Are you planning to role out a bug fix patch for the non Steam version sometime?

Yeah. I'm starting to notice that, but it's not really a choice for me. I need to be able to see the strategic level of things. I can, and often do, abandon entire sectors to solidify my position in the galaxy. I harden specific entry ways to my sectors with their entire military output and use those hardened concentrations to deal with all the incoming threats. Knowing where to turtle absolutely requires map-awareness on a scale that the much smaller view distance didn't allow.

While that setting can help with larger GCs, any regions of close together planets will be very overlapped and difficult to move troops between.

Not sure if it's a bug or not, but my camera in galaxy seems really, really close in. I'm going to look through my .xmls and see if I can find a view distance variable for that, but I figured I would mention it here. I'll edit this post with the variable if/when I find it.
EDIT: Hmm.... after playing with the <Max_Galactic_Zoom_Distance> setting (default was set to 66) in GAMECONSTANTS.xml it seems like that setting is being ignored. Even creating a new game (to get around the settings being coded into the save files) the camera is locked to the default zoom.
EDIT 2: Was able to fix it using <GMC_InitialPullbackDistance>. The default setting was 1200, I set mine for 3,000.

After the success of the demo, I have decided to move forward with a public beta phase, released via update to the Steam version of the demo. This will introduce the full set of galactic conquests that are currently work-in-progress. You should expect more bugs than the demo version, but also many more opportunities to try out new parts of the mod.
Known issues:
Missing text
Poor performance in some GCs
Missing CSA units
Unit filter buttons may sometimes display an incorrect state if pressed rapidly
Sandbox missions may show incorrect information
Changelog from demo:
Full GC set (Work in progress)
New filter buttons: click to hide different classes of space units/research
Updated tech trees for Rebels and Empire
Fixed some weapons not firing from muzzles correctly
Space colonies now correctly show up in battle results
Please report bugs here or on the Steam discussion page.
