Critical bug in v1.2 Beta 1

Shipbuilder is broken

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey everyone!
I feel I have to create a post for those considering updating to the new 1.2 Beta 1. Unlike previous Betas released by Stardock (Awsome Support, BTW!), this one has a game-stopper, in that the ship designer now deletes all jewelry when upgrading. This means that the design you've spent an hour to create is only useable once, for now. As a new Beta is due from Stardock soon, I've no doubt that this will be fixed directly, but unfortunately there is this BIG problem w/v1.2 Beta 1 for now.

I believe this problem is going to be fixed in a 1.2 beta update today or something.

Thats not a "critical bug". The term critical usualy refers to bugs that usualy end the program or stop your machine.

I have my self experienced this bug but its not critical, just extremely annoying.

It saves ships to wrong folder, I fixed it on my exe, but yeah, Stardock said they would fix it

Heroine4Life: Sorry about misnaming my post, but it's pretty critical to me! Point taken.

smjjames & ShadowTek.Net: I don't think that enough good can be said about Stardock's support. I'm an avid gamer, and will testify to anyone that Stardock is the best company I've delt with, period. Much has been said about this in the forums already, so I really can't add more!

Peace

i noticed this too, and would agree that it's more annoying than critical. restarting the ship designer or game seemed to deal with it pretty easily.

i got this problem when ever i loaded a saved game. My ship componets got placed in weired areas.
The best thing is looking atht the computor ships after a load they look extra f-ed up.

I tried to restart last night, but the issue remained. I've got some free time now so I'll see if my saved game loads & functions proper-like now . . .

This was a problem with the game thinking it was a metaverse game (leading to other bugs as well), but yes, that has been fixed for 1.21

How did you fix it? OOps just saw Codecritters comment. Nevermind.
