Patch NotesEdit

AddedEdit

FixedEdit

• C crash that would occur when you captured the final planet a race owns.

• An issue where canceling a colonization order on a planet would not immediately update the button on the planet selection info window to reflect the cancellation.
• Issue where you could not right click the advanced orders buttons in the ship orders panel.
