A few minor bugs

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey guys... awesome game. Just thought I'd report a few minor bugs that I've seen that weren't addressed with the 1.2 version. You might have already heard them, but ah well.



1) After the sharing event thing that the UN council does, I always get a ton of new techs like I'm supposed to, but it still shows the "sorry, you were too advanced and didn't get any new techs" window as well as giving me all the new technologies. Just a misplaced if statement there I guess... shouldn't show that window unless you really didn't get any. (minor minor bug but thought you should know)



2) 1.2 won't save my names for my custom race after I exit the game. If I don't exit the game and just start another game, the names will still be there, but if I go to windows and come back it will be renamed "Custom Race" "Custom Leader" etc. Kind of annoying to have to type it in every time. It does save the stats and stuff fortunately. (note this is on metaverse... I haven't played a non-metaverse game since the patch so not sure if it's on both)



3) The zoom in feature on the mini-map can't handle the other race influence areas. It won't show their areas of influnce or will only show little portions of them. If you zoom out to max, it's fine and often if you zoom down further it is fine, but 3/4ths of the time it won't show their colored areas of influnce when zoomed.



Thanks for the game and the great work guys!

Not sure if anyone else has this, or if it's really a bug, but when I colonize a planet and buy the Starport, the turn will automatically end before I can select what ship to start building there.

I've had this happen to me a few times, but only when I have more than one custom race saved. If click on the 'load' button on the custom race screen and delete all of them except the one you use it should fix the problem... Well, it did for me so I'm hoping it will work for you too.

Just to add a few comments. The game for me seems to be a lot more stable that 1.1 was (& I had no problems before that release). At the time I would play a few turns & the game would simply crash to desktop. Gave up until 1.2 was released & now I am playing in a huge map. Seems the game runs fine for like an hour or two then all of a sudden the basically crashes & I lose my video drivers. Then I am forced to reboot to get things back to normal & all seems ok. Usually right before this happens the game begins to slow down to a very slow crawl & then just stops (usually with a black screen). Have to Alt-Tab out just to see the error message that my video drivers are gone. Not sure what the problem is just very annoying.
