Galactum Meridian 0.2.1 Patch Notes
Released: September 1, 2026
Steam BuildID: 25065797
Localization
- Added Simplified Chinese support across the interface, glossary, tooltips, scientific information, directives, and gameplay systems.
- Added Simplified Chinese coverage for Field Studies, including objectives, terrain information, instrument readouts, evidence details, and expedition dates.
- Added Simplified Chinese coverage for World View site summaries, planetary status information, moon context, and Field Study loading messages.
- Added persistent language options for Automatic (Steam), English, and Simplified Chinese.
- Added appropriate Chinese font support, wrapping, and compatibility with the existing interface and text-size controls.
- Preserved English fallback text where localized content is unavailable.
- Kept localized presentation text separate from campaign save data so language changes do not alter expedition progress.
- Improved date handling so supplied campaign dates remain visible when structured calendar information is unavailable.
Interface and accessibility
- Added a directly visible Exit To Desktop button to Options And Help.
- Fixed excessive vertical spacing in selected-planet information after loading a saved game.
- Improved the Star Map world-marker legend at enlarged text sizes.
Gameplay and progression
- Fixed the Research Atlas failing to refresh after research was earned while the Atlas was closed.
- Newly earned research balances and eligible upgrades now appear correctly whenever the Research Atlas is reopened.
- Fixed Vespera I opening Field Studies potentially requiring capabilities that the recommended probe did not possess.
- Vespera I’s recommended probes can now complete their intended opening studies without creating an unrecoverable deployment blocker.
Save compatibility
- Existing expedition saves remain compatible with this update.
- Language settings remain machine-local and do not modify canonical campaign state.
- Existing save/load, backup recovery, and cross-language save behavior passed regression testing.
Known issue
- We are investigating player reports of stuttering when entering or viewing certain planets. This update does not yet contain a specific fix for that issue.
Please continue reporting bugs, performance problems, and localization feedback through the Steam discussions. When reporting performance issues, including your affected planet, resolution, graphics settings, CPU, GPU, RAM, and Windows display-scaling percentage will help us investigate more quickly.
