Release of 0.5.4 is coming on June 19th, which is quite a bit later than intended. There was originally supposed to be a release right after 0.5.3.1 when binding agents were supposed to be done, but that didn’t happen. In fact the last thing to go into 0.5.4 will be the binding agents. Here’s an early build for testing, this still has quite a few serious binding agent bugs, so keep auto save on to not lose too much progress. We hope that the upcoming last week before release will give us time to fix at least some of the most serious bugs.
As always here are the downloads for the release candidate:https://dev.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/api/v1/download/13172
Windows: https://dev.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/api/v1/download/13174
Windows (32-bit): https://dev.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/api/v1/download/13175
Mac: https://dev.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/api/v1/download/13173
Note for patrons, you can download the latest BOTD to get the same builds as the RC through the launcher.
Here’s the known bugs with the binding agents:

microbe colonies seem to be moved to a certain direction even when not pressing … anything (ghost drift), I think this is probably caused by some physics problems as sometimes I can really wedge into a cell when binding to it and the random movement and collision jittering all over gets worse in that situation.

Causes these errors for me:
```
ERROR: remove_child: Parent node is busy setti… ng up children, remove_node() failed. Consider using call_deferred("remove_child", child) instead.
At: scene/main/node.cpp:1219.
ERROR: add_child: Can't add child 'Microbe2236' to 'DynamicallySpawned', already has a parent 'Microbe'.
At: scene/main/node.cpp:1162.
```
So it seems like some kind of detach, other detach ordering problem.

sometimes the cell gets detached from the colony even when it shouldn't (especia… lly when loading a save)

I don't get this crash anymore, but some people seem to do (might be framerate r… elated):
```
ERROR: _notification: Condition "!get_viewport()" is true.
At: scene/main/node.cpp:99
```
Note: that error message is from older Godot version, but current version still prints that "!get_viewport()" part in the error.
When adding a third cell to my colony I got this crash:
```
ERROR: _notification: Condition "!get_viewport()" is true.
At: scene/main/node.cpp:99.
ERROR: _notification: Condition "!get_viewport()" is true.

Perhaps this is related to (as in the node detach / re-attach ordering is causing problems): https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/issues/2309
I tested a fix to move the colony creation that was in the physics callback to be called through the Invoke mechanism for me that didn't fix anything but maybe that is worth another try?
Please focus on reporting serious crashing or gameplay issues. Also we’d like to know how the new storage balance changes feel, as we can still tweak those for the upcoming release.

Moved the post here as the release candidate feedback and crashes is meant to be in this thread, only once the 0.5.4 release is out, then separate bug reports should be made.

Game will occasionally crash whenever I try to disband a colony.
What file + line in Thrive causes this error? The Godot debugger generally also displays something like this for these kind of errors:

Continuing the discussion from 0.5.4 Release Candidate Testing :
Nope don’t continue in a separate thread, as I said all release candidate testing feedback needs to go into the one thread.

but what happened, please look into it.
That’s the hard part. Godot doesn’t tell you the callstack for those errors, so it’s very hard to debug them.
Looks like Godot broke their mac packaging again. Could you try the workaround in here: Make release script set execute bit on mac export · Issue #1527 · Revolutionary-Games/Thrive · GitHub

it did’nt work. it said the same error.
I don’t have a mac and my experience using a mac is limited so how much I can help is limited.
Perhaps @Nunez2196 can help more?

that allows you to open an app that’s flagged, not one that’s corrupted.
The corruption message is a lie, at least in my experience apps that aren’t properly signed or don’t have the execute permission set, will return the exact same error.

Are you sure, i’ve downloaded some flagged apps, and they said that it’s flagged, not corrupted.
I’m pretty sure the error message with the Thrive executable not being marked as an executable was that corrupt warning. That’s all I can say without me personally having a mac to test and develop Thrive on. Right now the build process is that Godot makes a .zip file that our build script just adds a few files to, so Godot’s packaging is likely at fault here…
