1.7 Beta Issues

from GalCiv2 Forums
While I'm nearly certain this has been reported elsewhere, the Beta has taken the game from a very stable platform to a regularly crashing every twenty or thirty turns (on my machine anyway). I will post submit the exception logs etc to the developers.

Another issue I notice that may or may not be a real "issue" is that the Peacekeepers no longer work as advertised or as they did during the last non-beta version of the game. Previously, they really did only attack ships outside of one's own space. Now they attack everything in sight regardless of location or status. In the game in which they appeared, not only did they attach freighters, starbases, warships and everything else they could, they did so when I was not at war with anyone. Further, many of those ships were within my own space. If this is functioning as intended, so be it. If not, it may need a little attention.

To follow up on my last message, another minor glitch that is popping up (in fact I don't think it ever actually went away in previous versions) is that mass driver weapons do not appear to fire at the ship being targeted. Although the enemy ship is damaged, the weapons graphic appears to be firing wildly and just as often at my own ships. Although the game is functional, this is annoying. I hope it can be fixed once and for all.

I've seen many posts prior to this about the Peackeeps behaving that way. Its nothing new from what i can tell. Luckily I have never gotten that event but i still think it should be fixed.

I've played a full game of the beta. No crashes. Me and 2 AIs on a huge map.

I once had a glitch where a ship would move only one square and then it would shift to another ship.

Restarting the game and reloading where I left off fixed that.

I've had this happen to me in 1.6 - something wierd that sometimes happening when upgrading ships or something. The focus keeps shifting back to the ships that's upgrading and sometimes you even lose movement from whatever ship you were moving when it jerked away.

I think the Mass Driver full battle animation bug has been in the game since the release of Dark Avatar. I too hope it gets fixed as it's the only reason why I never use Mass Drivers.
