Event bug let you duplicate a free leader

from GalCiv4 Forums

Event triggered, where another race (phalenoids) informed me that a leader (name - Mors Ven) they don't like is heading my way. I could basically kill him, accept him (which I did) and some other option, i don't remember. So, got free leader, then I saved the game and quit. After a while, when I loaded that save to continue, that same even triggered again on that turn and choosing the same option, i got another free leader with the same name (Mors Ven). I tried to do the same 3rd time, but there was no 3rd free leader. So, obviously it's a bug. I'm attaching a screenshot with a leader screen, where you can see 2 leaders with the same name.

Hi Jaia,

Thanks for pointing out the issue. If you happen to have the save game could you attach and send it to me so that we can take a look and explore this further?

Thanks,

I don't have the save of that particular turn, unfortunately, but I tried to describe in detail what happened. So something is wrong in the sequence: event trigger-->free leader choice-->save the game-->quit game-->load that save-->same event trigger (you can choose free leader again).

I checked local files after that by the way and the game said 2 files failed to validate and were replaced.

Thank you for letting me know and describing what happened. I'll keep a look out to see if this can be reproduced since we don't have a save game to diagnose off of.

Came across that kind of bug again. There was an event, where after investigating an anomaly you are presented with 2 choices - to hand over container to another civ (there was an "incident" of some kind) or hack it by yourself. I chose the 2nd option, talked to another civ (corporate sector), lied them about not tampering with the container and everything was fine. Next turn, however, the same event appeared again. Here is a link to the save file on the turn when the event triggered again.
