Another bug

January 29, 2003 5:54 PM from

In my last game I had a late-game non-fatal bug where the science screen kept coming up at every turn. Nothing bad happened, just close the screen and carry on, but a bit of a nuisance.

And another thing, when I went to put the game in the metaverse, it said the AI's were set at "fool" level when I had them set at normal. Is this NORMAL?

I've had the same Science Screen bug. Seems to happen very late in the game.

I think they added an IQ level to the AI settings just recently (during one of the B4 builds) and I think it was added at the bottom. It is easy to see how they store and use these IQ settings by looking in the prefs.ini file in the data directory. It is saved as a number, with the dumbest being the lowest number. They must have forgotten to change the metaverse submition code to match the new IQ numbers.

Both these issues need fixes.
