Event List, wrong planet

from Stardock Forums
When multiple events are listed in the message field in the lower right corner of the screen, when you select the top item the status screen goes to a planet with a differant name than what the message indicated. Usually the second message you select goes to the planet the message indicated. :(

Can you always get this to happen, or does there have to be more than 2 events on the screen? Are they usually a social project or a military project when it happens? I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, so if you have a saved game where you can reproduce it, it would save me a lot of time. I need both the .sav file from the SaveGames directory and the corresponding folder in order to load the game. Thanks.

I have had this problem in all my games so far. The first event to get listed gets the text from the previous event. This happens about 1 in 4 times regardles of number of projects and type of project.
Example:

Turn 1:
Buy Bank on Mars!

Turn 2:
project finished : Bank on mars.

Buy Infonet on Earth!
Buy Infonet on Mars!

Turn 3:
project finished : Bank on mars.
project finished : Infonet on mars.

When pushing the list item saying "project finished: Bank on mars." in turn 3 I end up on Earth where the Infonet has been finished. The popup in the begining of turn 3 however, corectly stated that Infonet was finished on earth.


This could also be related to a bug where I HEAR the "project finished" sound but there is no popup, and the listing in the lower right corner is not updated until the next turn.(This bug only happens once or twice in each game)

Yes, it could be due to the lag with the social projects...it's a timing issue that I'm still playing with.
