Hi,

Since some bugs remain in the latest version of the game, I wanted to create this section for reporting them...

I have a problem when loading a previously saved game. The first time I press 'done' after loading, the date (in the right upper corner of the screen) doesn't change. In addition no social, military or scientific production occurs. However I can move my ships (just to indicate that the 'end turn' has been processed).

Reproducing this bug is easy:
Start a new game by choosing 'new game' from the options menu. Click 'next' until the new game starts. Click on the 'options' button in the upper left corner on the screen and save your game (test.sav). Click the 'options' button again and load the previously saved game. Now hit the 'done' button. The date in the upper right corner still indicates the 1st of January 2225... If you want to verify the production behaviour, just start building a building and a ship on your home plannet before hitting the 'done' button.
