Gamebreaking combat bug?

September 16, 2015 8:31:50 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

So I have been playing this game for a couple of weeks and one several occasions I have noticed that the outcome of the battle, when viewing it on the tactical screen, is different from the one that is then persisted on the map.

For example I have had occasions where two of my ships attack a sole AI ship and in the tactical view one of my ships gets destroyed and the AI ship gets destroyed but then on the main map, I lose the fight with both of my ship destroyed.

So what gives? Is this a "feature" that I am not aware of or is the combat completely messed up?

There is a known issue with the battle viewer that's being worked on.

Any ETA when this happens? Because for me the game is unplayable as of now. And it is strange to see a DLC for a game which has such a huge bug. Surely these kind of bugs should be fixed before developing DLCs.

Hi yamota,  I think it is fixed in the lattest opt in patch but haven't tested it yet.  But surly you have seen other things besides this.  The Bv is just eye candy and a way to get a better idea how the combat system works to aid in puting your fleets together. It certainly is not a game breaking issue

I don't see how you can possibly consider the game broken with this issue.  I don't use the battle viewer at all and am still able to play ... funny that.

Well without any sort of TC or battle viewer that works the game becomes a bit boring. What is the point have having a awesome ship editor if you can't see them in action.  Personally I would prefer a Tactical Combat options which would make this game the best game ever. However lacking that then at least have something like the Battle Viewer or better yet some other option that allows us to see the fight and give some commands to ships while fighting.   I view every battle in my games because the auto battles are just blah.

Yep. Without the battle viewer this game gets pretty boring. That being said, I suppose there are biggers issues with this game.
