Bug Questions

from Stardock Forums
Ok, I've posted this on the bug report thread, but I wanted to post it out here to see if I could get a response from people who have had the same or similar problems. Here are the bugs I'm experiencing:

1. The built-in MP3 player doesn't seem to work properly. I've loaded a playlist, but the track display at the bottom just keeps on cycling through the tracks at high speed, not playing any of them. I've had this playlist loaded for about 4 hours, but have yet to hear a song play. Before any of you ask, yes I have music enabled, yes I have custom playlists enabled, and yes I have my music slider turned up.

2. The scroll bars for military and social projects seem to have stopped working. Yesterday they worked fine; I was able to scroll to the bottom and select projects that were far down on the list. Today, however, I loaded the game and was unable to scroll them at all. Clicking the up and down arrows does nothing, using the mousewheel does nothing, and dragging the slider does nothing. I know there are more projects available; I always build Soil Enhancement and Habitat Improvement on new worlds, but these projects are two far down the list for me to access now. Same goes for Transports; I can't get to them. I've been able to work around this problem somewhat through the use of planetary governers, but it's an imperfect solution. Anyone else have this problem?

1) That means that it can't find your mp3s.  Probably the full path information was not saved.  You'll want to either save your playlists directly to the playlist folder, or change the playlist folder in the entry field at the top of the load playlist dialog to the directory where your mp3s are stored.  Also, if there is extended tag information in the m3u file and the actual name of the file is within the tag, the playlist will be confused.  (This would be the case if you saved a playlist as the windows media player default format and then renamed the file to .m3u)

2) I can't reproduce your scrolling problem. You are talking about the project lists on the planet data screen, right?  I'm not having trouble either there or with the quick project list that goes with the planet list.  If you're running in windowed mode and you move the window, it might not be passing the correct coordinates when you click on the scrollbar; that bug has already been reported.
