Steam Patch 10 June - Official Server Will Be Down
Doing a patch to address the chatlog bug where "GAR Player" shows up instead of the correct player name who is chatting. The Evolutionary Games server will be down for less than an hour at around 4pm EST.

Note the the game version is updating to 1.259, so if you still have the 1.258 version you will have wait for the Steam Cloud to propagate the client changes. It usually doesn't take long.

Steam Patch 09 June
Changes / fixes in June 10th Steam patch:

- ping now correctly displays in multiplayer
- fixed font size disparity on Item Pickup Context Menu
- version no longer appears as beta on start screen
- background music track order randomized

Retail Access for SteamGifts and Groupees Bundle
Those who receieved GAR early access via SteamGifts, Groupees Bundle, NoxiousNet, etc. should now have access to the retail version of GAR. Note there will be two versions of GAR in your Steam library - "Galactic Arms Race" and "Galactic Arms Race (TEST)". Both have full game functionality and can connect to multiplayer servers but different save game data due to Steam Cloud saving.

The change should propagate on Steam in a few hours. So if you have any problems or questions let us know in the forum:
