My expierienced Bugs Beta 4

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Guys,

wanted to contribute a bit ^^.

Bugs:

- Game hangs up in Endgame, Turn is not possible to finish. It happened in Every Game so far, i hit TURN and the ships go on but afterwards nothing more passes. Also nothing can change this (eg Command ships at other positions or stop them). This is the most disturbing one. Turns 200+. If requested i could provide a Screenshot or if you need additional data.

- Every time I load a game it hangs some seconds, and makes weird sounds. max. 60 sec.

- When processing several things at the same time, the game may also crash (invading and battles) often happens because I do my rounds quite fast.

- Weird ships like a Paladin with 0 Equipment occure in the Shipyard and are able to build. (Possible with every ship, I have like 5 ov every version in the building options)

- The Game always needs to be shut down via Task Manager. I can exit, but the process is still running and using ressources. Must kill the process in Task manager.

- Also it eats Hell ya of Ressources... Playing on Intel 3550i5 4*3,3GHZ , 8 GB ram and those two are running on nearly 100%. With Anti Alialising on 8x, gets better to 70% when turning it off. Also prevents random crashes of the game (0x). Resolution 1920*1080

Sooo now ... I know its not that detailed. If you need it I can send screenshots (try to recreate scenes) or other infos. Just tell me

For me...

 

I'm playing on the 2nd largest map and the game freezes regularly and has to be killed in task manager.  I consider it a miracle if I can play 4 turns before it freezes.  Game performs well when it's running but the slightest thing like zooming out can cause a freeze.  Now my game seems to want to insta CTD while going thru the colonize planet dialogs - happened 2x on the same planet.  I have a beefy and up-to-date PC and no problems with any of my scores of other games currently installed.  This is getting to the unplayable stage for me since I'm sick of replaying lost turns.  I wish I could crank autosave up to save multiple times per turn.

 

Side Annoyance - it's annoying when the build list for planets switches to soil enhancement (or the like) mode and you can't place anything else without getting out of that mode.  On a new world that's not something I'm going to build early but it's constantly "getting in my way" of doing what I do want to do.  I think it would be preferable that this type of improvement NEVER auto engage and only be manually doable.
