Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Message Board  

I also did this, but the Answer was : They have only the EPIC Version, i was wondering because Trainers for Steam Versions were released before.(My Update Request was canceld)

We do not own the game on STEAM. No idea why they are putting out EARLY ACCESS versions on STEAM of higher version than EPIC where the game has already been out for over a year, but we dont own the STEAM version and this is plain weird and silly.

Probably going to wait until they drop out of "early access' on steam and release a final version of this game over a year old already and put the final version on all platforms.

For clarification, Galactic Civilizations IV came out on EPIC first in 2022, then YES we updated THAT game on STEAM since April of 2023.

People seem to be asking for update to trainer for SUPERNOVA expansion ON STEAM which we do not own that expansion on STEAM, only for EPIC, where it came out originally and wasn't available on STEAM until recently.

We updated the trainer for SUPERNOVA on EPIC recently, and WHY the STEAM version is "early access" and higher version number and different, I have no idea, but I actually don't like being in the middle of some developer versioning release mess that they aren't syncing up these two platforms or are NOW releasing updates to this game as if they are still in early access when the game has been out actually since 2022 April on EPIC as a full release, with SUPERNOVA being an expansion, not some "early access" thing.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on? This is stupid, and weird.

Maybe the developers will chime in here:

tl;dr Think of Supernova as Gal Civ 4.5. Different game then the Base Gal Civ 4. Has been in EA on Epic since it "released". Been in EA on Steam once they were able to put it there. Supernova is supposedly the same version on Epic and Steam.

Gal Civ 4 Supernova is in EA on Epic, as well... You just have to go to the page of the game (store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/galactic-civilizations-iv-supernova) and scroll about halfway down to see the barely one paragraph note that it's EA. Epic doesn't list EA titles like Steam does, so it's never shown anywhere else in their launcher, etc.

The only diff is that they waited for the Epic "non compete" (read: we give you a little extra money if you only put it on the Epic store for a year), before they could put anything on Steam.

So... in a nutshell.

Gal Civ 4 came out on Epic.

Later they decided to make a separate game, instead of it being an add-on or DLC, called Gal Giv 4: Supernova on Epic. They released it in EA.

Once they were able to put Gal Civ 4 on Steam, they did, then they put Supernova up later, which is in EA.

So it looks like the Supernova version is replacing the normal version all the way around.

So any version of a trainer that's worked on Gal Civ 4 Supernova on Epic has been, unintentionally, made for an EA game that should be releasing around middle/late October.

4 patches in 8 days.. it's getting STUPID

this game is been in early access forever and even put out a supernova version and is BACK in early access on STEAM?

steamdb.info/app/1357210/patchnotes/

It's never left Early Access.

GalCiv 4 and GalCiv 4 Supernova are two separate games. GalCiv 4 was reelased back in May of 2022. It's been updated some, but that is a fully released game.

GalCiv 4 Supernova came out in Early Access in April of this year. It is a separate game. It *should* be called GalCiv 5, but for some reason it isn't. It's a stand alone game that's an upgraded version of GalCiv 4. Supernova has different features and updates that will never be rolled back into GalCiv 4 based.

GalCiv 4 Supernova releases on October 19th.

So y'all really need to have 2 different trainers. One for GalCiv 4, and one for GalCiv 4 Supernova since they are technically two different games with two different version numbers.

We already have this.

.... but the way that the game devs handled this is clearly a giant cluster**** as no one seems to know what the hell is going on other than a need to patch the game multiple times a day.
