I just played a game on the latest (non-beta) level where once all of the anomalies were gone no new ones were generated. For over four years (over 48 turns), not a single new anomaly appeared.

Currently playing a game where I lost a large amount of planets to a Federalist movement. When I tried to recapture some planets this happened:

-target planet population 17 billion
-troops to attack with 4.5 billion
-invasion was a success
-planet population then spiked to 100 billion, and caused the moral to be 1

Shouldn't the new population of the planet be any surviving troops after the attack?

Here's a gazillion CTDs that occurred with the new 1.04b2. These all occurred on the aliens' turn. I have a few save games made right before these CTDs happened that crash immediately on loading if anyone wants them.

Here's a bug I experienced with the 1.03 standalone:

I call it Ghostship-Bug. In my current game I have a Corvette with -17/12 Hitpoints. It has 0 Attack and 4 Defense. I can fly through everything with it. Just like a ghost. The enemies ignore it, just as if it was not there. I cannot disband it.

I have a screenshot and a savegame with this in.

Please E-Mail me if you want to have the shot and the savegame.

My E-Mail is [email protected].

I healed it and when it reached 1 HP it became a real ship again and could be properly destroyed. It had 2 lives so to say...

I have 1.03A.057 and have twice seen a problem with the Bridge/Advisor panel when the UI switches to good. It still has the neutral UI and doesn't refresh with new info (all the info keeps writing over the old so it becomes unreadable). The only way to fix it is save, quit the game, and then restart and reload.

This happens with the latest patch:
I've noticed that when you're using the new integrated MP3 player that when the message pops up that a system has defected to your side, the accompanying music plays (as it should), but when you click the message box away, the accompanying music keeps playing until completion and then the MP3 player just goes onto the next song, ignoring where it had left off when the message appeared. It only seems to happen with the defecting system message, or at least that's the only one I've noticed.

:notsure: I downloaded the newest version so just to let you know. When I tried to click on a fire orange little ship to see who it was. I get dumped out of the game. Just to let you know..

I couldn't attack the I-League, they allied themself with me and I could not breake the alliance in the minor race menu. i.e. I could push the button but as soon as I left the menu the alliance was back. Also waiting a turn didn't help.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

I don't know why, but there is always a breakdown in a late game when the big gallactic meeting is. I had to get out of the galactic organization...! Afterwards it worked just fine.

And then there are some heavy troubles with a huge game I'm currently playing. Lots and lots of breakdowns without reason. I got to save every turn.

Autosave and previous save plus EVERT SAVE game I have crashes to desktop. Version 1.03A.057

Tried rebooting. This whole game is played using the same ver.

Here is the bottom of the debug.err file.

BREAKING ALLIANCES WITH MINOR RACES
Currently does not work. The button does nothing when
clicked.

please fix

I said just shift-clicking not CTRL+Shift. I think. But seeing as I sometimes am replying to posts as late as 12 midnight, I may have made a typo. Shift-clicking on the first and last entries of the event list in the lower right hand corner will clear all entries from it. Shift and CTRL clicking also work on the trade screen lists.

I fixed the bug where you can't break alliances with minor races in our build. I also fixed a UP issue crash and a crash in some end turn calculations.

For the crashes with save games: you should be able to load them with 1.04. I was previously able to fix people's save games by loading them on my build and re-saving them as soon as they had loaded, but in our internal build, the save games are newer versions and won't load in 1.03.

I had a quick look through the past messages and I don't think this was reported (if it was, then sowwy :))

I'm using 1.03A.057 and came across a repeatable crash to desktop.
I loaded up the save game from last night (all Alien AI's set to normal, medium size galaxy, loose clusters) went through the usual 'current status' screen, then the tech screen, then the planet build screen for the Defender that had just finished being built.
On the starmap was a little red transport, I assumed it was Drengin but clicked on it to see where it was going, and BOOM... dead game!
I reloaded and repeated twice. As soon as you click on the square, it crashes.

I got the 1.3 version on XP.

Something strange happened in my last game. The Drengin was the only race left.I had destroyed the Torian the turn before. When I attecked the Drengin I got a message that said something about: "You have attacked out ally, therefore we have no choice but to declare war against you." This is strange, since there are NO minor or major powers except me and the Drengin left...

AND another THING: I build a deathstar on a starbase already using a military RESOURCE. When I moved the deathstar, the resource followed the star... But suddenly, before or after I moved the deathstar to another sector, the whole resource vanished... I don't know if I lost the resource bonus or not.. anyways, STRANGE...

With beta 1.04.002 I've run into several lockups (not CTDs) when an alien race attacks one of my mini-freighters in deep space. Each time it has happened the enemy ship has been shrouded in the fog-o-war(tm) so I imagine this may have something to do with it.

moonmood --

The Drengin might be allied with themselves. I've seen this on 1.03A57. It's pretty goofy, but as far as I know, harmless.

Same here. Both (UP meeting and late game crashes) happen to me 1.03

Here is a CTD in version 1.04[B].002
I do have library mods installed.

When you disable "Alliance Victory", Galciv remembers this. However, it is remembered as disabling "Technology victory".

Version 1.03A.057

Political Party Bug

Playing game as Industrialist. Lost election to Federalist.

Bug #1) Had a -25% Research penalty applied when I lost. Still retained +20 Social and +20 Military.

Bug #2) When back majority, Research remained at -25%. *** This is a serious issue. ***

re: No. 515. After a bit more play, I came to the conclusion it wasn't the Drengin at all, as their mini transport is greenish, like the rest of their ships. So I can only assume it's a minor race transport.

Either way, it's basically a small flat featureless red/pink rectangle that is the SIZE of a small freighter... and behaves like one. And kills the game if you click on it.

Just thought I'd clear up my info

a player can check out where the major civs are before beginnning of the game using sector influence button!!!!

a feature?? not if i can not know where they yellow stars are i should not know where the cradles of other civs are
