Pirate's Bug

from Sins Forums

When I play with Pirates on in SP, I normally don't bother giving them missions. Gave the scoundrels one yesterday, and watched as they took down the planet. At the end they said "Yarr, mission completed, matey!" or something to that effect, but the window that should display their picture is blank. In addition, the message kept spamming the window over and over again and became really irritating

. Any idea what could be causing this, or what to fix?

I will have both soon enough. I'm not able to upload a screen yet, but I have an SP save. I just don't know how to upload it.

Use photobucket and upload it from the appropriate file.

Gah. Photobucket isn't allowing me to sign on with Twitter... >:(
Could I post a link to it on my DA?

I have this same bug. It drives me nuts. It began with the 1.21 update, and it also resets the pirate mission counter. In other words, once the pirates complete a mission, and they tell me they have, I can send another mission right away. This eventually gets to the point that I can send a mission every three or four seconds when I should need to wait five minutes, even during a multiplayer game.

I only play multiplayer via direct connections. I'm curious if Flannicus uses ICO or not, that might be part of the issue.

 

I don't have a save or replay available (The bug drives me off the deep end in longer games. I don't even give them missions anymore unless I'm desperate and backed into a corner), but at least I know I'm not the only one who has this issue anymore.

So I think I may have found this problem, and I'm trying to repo now. If anyone gets a save that shows this please post.
