Debug information for each stardock app follows ....

I was able to finish the game by going back, loading an old save, and continuing. Which brings me to my next problem: Metaverse submissions don't seem to work. I submit with a name and e-mail, and it takes me back to the opening screen. I check Metaverse, and I'm not there (yes, my score is over 1!). It has never worked for me, and this is my third try. What am I doing wrong, or is it a bug?

~SDC~

Sorry for all the posts, but the "String not found" bug is back: the minor civilization IFed shows "String not found" if you access the information on the civilization from the diplomacy screen.

~SDC~

I just lost a colony ship to the void. I was loading a colony ship and about to launch it, when I decided to check something else (I forgot what) and when I got back, the colony ship had disappeared.

~SDC~

If you have the turn button get stuck, try opening the planet data screen, then hitting done.

As has been mentioned before I believe...

...when using the latest version I get a crash to desktop if I try to adjust the sliders in the diplomacy window.

Yeem

22 pages.....geez...can we reset this thread?


~SDC~

I posted a thread in the wrong section.....GC Stategies....sorry wasnt paying attention I guess.

Anyway seems the default govenor lets u build unique items allready built and the speed modules on the starbases dont seem to work...at least multiple star base modules dont add up.

~SDC~

Hm... After applying the latest patch, I can't build Excalibur class ships any more. They show up in the military building list, but are never completed (i.e. the progress bar stops at "Next month")

Anyone else noticed that?

The Cultural Rebellion icon (skull & crossbones) doesn't seem to go away after the cultural gap between your civ and another has been closed. Not sure if it's a bug or not, but a couple GGers have mentioned this, and it seemed... odd.

In one game, I was at war with the Yor. They had an alliance with the Altarians. The Altarians then declared war with me and I knew I couldn't handle both, so I offered peace terms. The thing is, I didn't have to offer anything else to get them to agree, but herein lies the bug, I was able to request all the money or influence points I wanted and they'd still agree to the trade.

Crash bug (only experienced since latest build up?)

Version 1.02.041:

Tribute continues after a minor race is eliminated. Should you be able to send a minor race down to -3000 from tribute, either?

For the inconsistancy of the AI refusing a money-for-money trade that is in their advantage:

Would it be possible to eliminate the ability for both sides to offer money in a single trade deal?

Like, check which side was offering more money, and update the trade terms to match it? I.E. Humans offer 60 BC to Drengins, then add a term requesting 50 BC from them. The trade terms would simply show the humans offering 10 BC to the Drengins, and not requesting any BC from them.

I realise that even this is not so simple however, because of the ability to offer money for different lengths of time. Maybe this elimination could only come into play when both money terms were for the same number of months.

For anyone who is getting crashes,

If you don't have SmartException installed, please get it from under Free Stuff. It will generate a report that will help us to find where the crash occurred.

I am having two issues.

The first is I had a Terror Star and one Dreadnought grouped together and the units were limited to the 1 movement rate of the Terror Star as intended, but then the game crashed (not certain why) then when I restarted the last save my Terror Star and Dreadnought were no longer grouped and the Terror Star could move 10 movement points per turn and the rating was 10/1 the Dreadnought was 10/10. Though this was cool to have such a fast moving Terror Star it was definetely a bug.

The other issue is whenever I win a game and I click on the Social tab in the list when you have won causes my game to crash everytime. I will grab the program mentioned above in post #542 to attempt to grab what is happening.

Version 1.02.041:

Galactic Domination Philosophy doesn't actually do anything.

BUG REPORT:

Crackling of sounds which occurs only for the "evil" sounds or "bad" events.

Possibly another SB Audigy issue?

I've been stuck at a 95% plus cultural victory for about 10 years now!! WHat gives!!
Doc

This has probably been posted before...but I can't read all 22 pages!

I've noticed that when I take systems with planets that have 'trade goods' or wonders that I don't seem to gain the effect those items give after taking control of them. Is this 'working as intended' or a bug? It would seem that once I capture these items I should gain their benefits?

As of the last patch, the tribute bars (artifacts or something on them, dont scroll properly either) and the Leave button (says string not found) the trade screen are messed up.

I have the smart exception report for my crash, what do i do with it now?

I hit the submit button, but it did not seem to do anything.


~SDC~

Same as Wargear: SE is running and captured the error, but the "Submit" button does nothing. I posted the notepad version of the exception on this forum (and e-mailed it to Carielf).

~SDC~

I haven't read all 550 messages, so please forgive me if this's a known bug. The last planet of the Yor Collective just defected to me culturally, and when I go to check on that fact in "stats" under the diplomacy selection, the game crashes to the desktop. This is a replicable error, and I can send you the gamefile.

Jim

Research bonus for planet event (underwater domes etc) is either not given, or, if it is given, it is not listed
in the planet detail screen. I checked if it registered as a global bonus, but it's not showing there either.
I suspect it is not given at all because other research bonuses show up just fine.
