Planetary Annihilation: TITANS gets Steam P2P multiplayer and more content to come

The developers reviving Planetary Annihilation: TITANS have announced another update in their work to improve this grand-scale multi-planet RTS.

In a Steam announcement they said: "Our priorities are stability, playability, and transparency. So, recently we have released several silent bugfix patches which have resolved a large number of issues and crashes. This will help us build a more stable foundation on which to build some major content drops we have planned". They said more info on content drops is to come sometime soon.

They're going to be opening up a "LABS Public Testing Environment" opt-in Beta for players to test upcoming stuff, along with a big change that's live now to the way online play works. They've ripped out the old server system, and replaced it with Steam P2P which should also solve some issues with people trying to play together.

On the Linux side, they're still trying to figure out the issues with the newer builds not running on Linux. So for now, they've added an opt-in Linux Beta with a previous release that does launch (I've verified it on Fedora KDE 44). You won't be able to play ranked or with other operating systems but all Linux players on that branch can play together for now.

Hopefully soon they'll get their build system fixed up so the Linux version can be properly up to date.
