Minor Bugs with 1.1

from GalCiv2 Forums
1. Not seeing an explanation of where my military production is coming from when I mouse over the numbers while in planet tile view. This typically happens when I have ongoing social production, and I do see a little black box. (About big enough for one letter, perhaps.) When I have unused social being put towards military, I don't think I've ever seen this issue. About 95% of the time when I have ongoing social prodution I just get the black box.

2. Not seeing an explanation of where my social production or tech numbers are coming from when I mouse over the numbers on the planet tile views. Ever. No black boxes, nothing. Not 100% sure if this was supposed to have a pop-up similiar to the one explaining military production, but I would assume so.

3. Music randomly cutting in and out. I don't have it turned up loud so I almost missed this one. Not 100% sure when it cuts out, but if I go to speak to other race's leaders I'll notice it suddenly cut back in. I know this isn't a problem with my sound/hardware, as I don't have this issue in windows/other games.

4. "Time until production" numbers WAAAAAAY off unless I exit the planetary view and re-enter the planetary view. I could understand if this was a something that only happened if I bought a factory and then qued up a building to be built, but it seems to just randomly pick numbers even if I haven't built new factories that turn. I click on something, click build, look at the number, and if I don't like it I can just exit and re-enter planetary view for a new one! After that, the number it has there is usually the right one.

4.a. Not really a bug, so I guess I'll repost this in a suggestion arena - it would be nice when clicking on an item to see a 'time until this would be built' number without having to tell my planet to build the item first. *edited for spelling*

So lonely. So very lonely.

Am I alone in these graphic glitches or what?

There is. In the box telling you what the building will do (how many SP it produces, etc), it also has a weeks of production time.

1. I've never even tried

2. Ditto

3. I haven't noticed this, but my sound is often too low for me to notice. Although I've noticed that the Iconian diplomacy video glitches occasionally, accompanied with a corresponding blip in the sound.

4. Yep. I think it's when you start building a new building on a planet that has no other buildings in the queue. The game forgets to stop redirecting Social spending to military, so it gets the estimate wrong. You don't need to exit the screen to fix this though- just flick Social focus on then off again, and it'll sort itself out.

Actually, both Alfonse and Draknost are correct based on my observations:

1. When I have no current social build projects and my social spending is funneled to military, the time to build a new social project shows up as "never" unless I actually click to build the item.

2. When I do have social build projects going on, I do get the preview of the time to build a new social project in the box describing the capabilities of the building.

I second Draknost's desire to see the build time in 1. without having to actually click to build it.
