Post by javaxubuntu »

Freeciv 2.6.0-beta2 is now in Google Play as a beta version. To install it, open the Freeciv app with Play Store, then in the bottom there is a "Become a beta tester" option.

Enable this option and install the app.
When you open the app, if you see "civsync.com; version 2.6.0" it means that you successfully installed the beta version.

Freeciv upgrade on Google Play and known issue

Post by javaxubuntu »

Yesterday, Freeciv have been updated on Google Play as a main release. There is a known issue when loading old games: all graphics have changed, and many people would find it ugly.

I've found some ways to turn around this problem:
  • Start a new game, the graphics will display fine. (And you can also enjoy the new hexemplio hexadecimal tiles)
  • If you want to finish your old game, you can use Freeciv 2.5 on your computer.
