Moves left not shown for fleets

from GalCiv3 Forums

The tooltip of a fleet shows the number of moves left for the fleet. This will randomly disappear. The only solutions is to exit to desktop and load the game again. I noticed this in 1.0 two or three times. But now that I have 1.01 I already had it five times in two turns. I do not know what pattern there is to what causes it because it is not certain it did happen in my previous action already. I will see what my last actions were (attacking a pirate I believe the last time), maybe other can see a pattern.

Not knowing the number of movement points left or having to restart twice a turn makes the game unplayable for me, so I hope this can get some priority.

Edit: Hit points are also not shown when I hover over the individual ships.

as far as i was able to determine the problem is caused by getting a tech that modified a ship stat

i assume when you get a tech that modifies ship stats all the tooltips get updated and the update is pulling the old format tooltip

You're not alone, i see this as well. I had not picked up about the new tech though.

I have reported the same problem.

Fixed in the new patch? I'm not seeing it now.

Running the new patch, and I'm still getting the problem with not seeing the movement points remaining on fleets.  Not sure what might have been the triggering events in the cases where I lose the functionality in the display.

I don't think that's the only triggering event.  I just had the issue caused after a Galactic Event occurred.  I think it may be related to various news windows coming up, and then messing up the UI when they are dismissed.

I reported this back in Beta 2 or 3, it was happening to me quite frequently but never reproducible from a saved game.  After that I haven't seen it again (knock wood) although others still reported it on and off through the beta.  It's gonna be a tough one to track down for the developers.

it's still there.  If you save&reload, it comes back as it should.  Very hard to track that way.

I frequently have this after upgrading a ship. Which would comply with androwshalforc's observation that it happens after stats change. Hope this gives a tiny nudge into the right direction where to search the origin of this annoying bug.
