Complete List of Errors Posted for Beta 6 Patch 1 [0.95.5.0] (& older) *EOL*

January 24, 2015 10:29:46 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Because of the game release of next week and the constant updates to the game over the next week to get it ready this post will not be updated going forward.

I would like to thank everyone for the appreciation they gave me for keeping this post up to date.  Fortunately the game is being released next week, so in attempts to minimize the appearance of a buggy game I will no longer be keeping this post up to date.

 With this being said, I would love to continue contributing any way I can to benefit this game and anything else I can help with.

 

Reported Issues for Beta 6 Patch 1 (0.95.5.0) and older, please note on older linked errors if it is still present in Beta 6 Patch 1.

Also please note which version on any new bug post issues.

Here is a complete list of issues that already have forum topics, Please add to these topics as they exist already or follow the requested steps to create a support ticket or attempt a solution.  (Note there are some general complaints in some of these posts that have been left out as they may or may not be bugs)

Note Raynman has suggested Support tickets on several of these posts.  Support tickets can be done as follows

If you are having issues with crashes to desktop, please adjust settings (resolution, map sizes, anti-aliasing)  See picture at bottom of post.  Then note in support tickets what steps were taken, example didn't crash at these settings but, crashed using these settings.

Stardock has asked that we please respond with exactly what is happening; exact steps on how to reproduce the issue; map size and at what point in the game it occurs. Please also supply any screenshots \ video clips that may help illustrate the issue. Jing is a free app for that can be used for this:

For support where examining saves is required, names of ships, planets and starbases, etc, are extremely helpful in their attempts to reproduce the issue. 

Link to forums for explanation:

Always looking for a way to improve how this list is displayed feedback is welcome.  Sorry if I missed any.  I will attempt to keep it updated.

Not sure if it is the same as #25, but I found that when the AI send a freighter to me it takes one of my trade routes away.  Example, I have 1 trade route available, I send a freighter to another planet.  while it is on the way, another AI lands a freighter on one of my worlds.  When my freighter arrives, I get the error that i have no more trade routes available.  I have a save game file available if needed to support a trouble ticket.

Gemle, This may be a bug as it's taking away from your trade routes, however, it may be by design as well, I will add it to the list though.  The other point it is not related to the other Trade route error, that had to do with reloading the game and the trade route disappeared.

I recall having similar problems. The AI beat me to setting up a trade route, so I couldn't set up my own trade route since I had only the one slot. I even looked through the menus and windows and found the one for trade routes. It said that I was using 0 of 1 trade licenses (or something like that), so something must be in error. I would argue that being unable to set up your own trade routes (because the AI did it) would be confusing, and would like wise make it advantageous for you to wait for the AI to set up trade routes with you (so you don't have to spend or waste resources doing so).

Seilore, great list. Here are a couple other bugs I've noticed so far.

1) Drengin went to war with me before we actually met (they were in UP, though)

2) When moving into fog of war, if you accidentally click on a planet or shipyard (that you cannot see), the movement selection will not go through.

And a possible update to #26 (which I mention in the original post as well): It seems that the production queue issue is caused by attempting to build something while a ship is moving. If you move a ship and select a planet/shipyard before it has used all its moves (or arrived at its destination), the queue won't update.

I posted elsewhere I've been having a bug with the combat viewer where the last target is not always destroyed (explosion/graphics) leaving the remaining fleet to just fly around it until you click end combat, normally with a few rogue missiles flying around the screen. I've had this against both ships and Star Bases, can add logs if helpful?

On an immense map I also had the Drengin declare war on me without any meeting.  In my case, they didn't show up in the diplomacy screen.

I don't see on this list the problem:

When you update ships using the governor, no cost is deducted.

If I missed it, sorry.
