Planet naming bug

This is my first day I played with my Ultimate Edition. I've started a new game on a tiny map. 

The problem: I send my colony ship to my next planet (class 4) but I can't name my new world. My planet will be colonized but without a name.

What can I do?

 

Best regards

You can rename your planets at any time by clicking the button in the right side of the name bar in the lower UI.

This also doesn't function. I can't rename my planet. I have sent my save file to support@stardock.com

I found a workaround:

 

1. Click on your Home planet

2. Click on the "Rename" button

3. Click on the "Done" button

4. Send your colony ship to the planet and colonize

5. Type in your planet name (while typing in you will not(!) see the name. it will be left blank. )

6. Click on the "Done" button

Now you can see the name on the map.

 

I hope this problem will be patched away. Are you working on this?

Maybe it is related to it?

I'll answer on behalf of SD. No. Stardock are well into developing Fallen Enchnantress, so no patches for GC2, i would guess, ever.

This is not a know bug, in the games 5 year life, it has never (AFAIK) come up before. Are you using a game resolution other than your desktop one? Doing so can render the locations of some buttons somewhat. I can't explain it but it's an issue i used to have when using a very specific game resolution. It would appear that a game button is no longer working, but in fact the UI is screwed up by custom resolutions.

I'm sad to hear that. The buttons are functioning well. I use the exact same resolution for the game that I use for the desktop.

I'm reaching here, but try deleting your prefs.ini file, located in your my games folder.
