GNN reporting bug

Ships completed not reported after load

from GalCiv2 Forums

I've gotten this bug several times and I've finally made sure to take screenshots that illustrate what I'm talking about. As well if Stardock is interested I have a save game illustrating this bug.

The issue here is after I load a saved game it takes several turns for GNN to properly report to me when ships are getting built. In this example that I have 2 Constructors are slated to be built for the next turn. After the turn is complete GNN only reports 1 Constructor being completed. I verified that the other Constructor was completed but wasn't reported.

Sometimes it won't report anything, but if I continue playing for several turns it eventually seems to report ships accurately. This can be very frustrating when you have a fairly large empire and continue the game after being away from it for a few days. I only seem to encounter this bug from a loaded game.

As follows are the screenshots that illustrate what I mean graphically. I can provide the save game if requested to do so; however, it is 3.79MB large but I can rar it to 180KB for easy posting.

Has anybody experienced the above issue?

I believe so. Either that or the ship wasn't actually getting built.

I will have to check. Although if there was an "auto-launch" ships button like in Gal Civ I then this wouldn't be a problem as you would get to move the ship. But not getting a message would be annoying.

Yes, I see this all the time. Not only ships but planetary improvements as well. The first 2 or 3 turns after you load a game, you need to manually check your production queues. I've just gotten into the habit of manually checking what is due to be produced next turn just before I end my turn so I can immediately tell if something wasn't reported.

One of the many issues with saving and loading games...

I have found the source of this problem and fixed it. It will be fixed in the next update.

Good to know that it is a bug and not just me. Even better to know that it will be fixed. Great job Stardock!

I have the same bug. It even happens with research. I load the game, 2 turns left to research something, hit Enter, and it's still 2 turns.

I have the exact same problem this is with the latest patch not 1.1 but for research, or buying a ship it is like you have to hit the turn button twice to advance 1 week, hopefully 1.1 fixes that

Is this a bug in the latest non-beta release.

I just noticed this and, maybe it is me, but it seems to be getting worse.

I actually reinstalled the game with the two patches. Started a new game, finished a new factory, and there was nothing in the GNN report.

Any rhyme or reason as to when this happens>
