My observed bugs [0.83.3.0] Updated reply #6

from GalCiv3 Forums

First off thanks Stardock for releasing the latest patch and continuing to work hard on this game, here is a list of bugs some old some new observed to this point in this version, I will update the other post of all bugs posted with in the next day or two.

  • (still present) Thalan based custom factions still are starting with class 15 planet versus class 16.
  • (new) Thalan based custom race ships (medium) are not unlocking when tech is researched.
    • Unlocks later as other techs researched.
    • Can build custom medium ships right away.
  • (new) Survey ship now has armor defense however, no other defense, (may be bugged since armor no longer applies all three defenses)
  • (new) A.I. is building starbases for minerals 15 stars away with-in first 75 turns when closer options available.
  • (still present) Game does not stop running in background upon exit.  (Force close will sometimes cause Windows Explorer to crash)
  • (new) very slow game pace and tech tree seem to be not applying or need to be adjusted as with 15 colonies I'm completing techs in 2-4 turns (too fast for very slow)
  • (still present) Ship icon in bottom of screen still not reflecting custom race color design.
  • (still present) Outlook II (explorers) Ideology trait unlocks any class planet not class 10.
  • Pirates appear to have huge logistics caps at start of game (fleet of 7 ships) May be by design.

I'm sure I'm missing some that I had on my list however, when Windows Explorer crashed it crashed notepad too which I had them written down in :( .

i noticed in a slow game that i made that i made it applied a -50% manufacturing/ research penalty to all my planets since this was counted just like any other research manufacturing bonus it was easily cancelled out by a couple of improvements/relics

a much better solution would be to actually provide a global increase to manufacturing costs/ research costs rather then a 50% malice which gets easily cancelled out

Here are a few more I've noticed...

  • (new) AI cheating, knows where perfect planets are, several systems away without exploration.
  • (new) Unable to zoom mini-map to specific location, wants to zoom where it wants to zoom.
  • (still present) Game is still very jumpy as game goes on.
  • (popped back up) Abundant Planets once again, is not abundant but more like common.

Here are a few more, sorry no pictures tonight game crashed several times in a row so I gave up for the evening...  (on a side note I have yet to complete a game with 40+ races in the game as I am unable to get past turn 150 in any game.  Started several today with Medium/Large maps after the Insane maps kept failing hoping that maybe I'd get one in.)  Submitted one new crash ticket.  #SFS-231-90765

  • (new) [0.83.3.0(opt-in)] had restricted to voting for top six races in UP [0.83.3.0] allows you to vote for anyone.
  • (new) clicking on another races planet does not always allow you to speak with player seems some races do some don't no specific reason.
  • (new) trading for trade resources (resources get taken away from you.)
    • I have been trading all met races for all resources that they have.  I wait 20 turns and trade again.
    • At this point, I have less trade resources, the races I've traded them for have some of them back.3
  • (new) Little icons next to planet indicating building/guarded/ect... are different sizes on different planets no rhyme or reason.
  • (new) minor races leader names aren't displayed in the trade screen, instead it lists a major factions leader's name, in my game it's usually Lord Kona.
