Turn Button Disappears

June 17, 2005 10:53:00 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Being the impatient person that I am, I have the habit of clicking the turn button repeatedly. Occasionally the system will not re-display the turn button. Saving the game and reloading it also will not return the turn button.

Pressing the enter key ends the turn and the turn button is re-displayed. This also appeared to be a problem in beta 1, but I was late in the game to reports bugs so I figured someone might have come across it.

Disregard of course if this is known already

Thanks

If you left-click on the galaxy screen and move the camera around rapidly, does that bring the Turn button back?

I've also found that clicking the "find" button to make sure all autopilot ships have moved helps to get the turn button back.

I get this sometimes, but its always come back without having to exit. I tend to hit spacebar, enter, move the camera etc and it comes back. I think it might be some sort of lag, as I've not figured out exactly what brings it back. Could it be that the game updates slowly at times? It does seem to happen if I cycle turns quickly.

Its very spuratic, I'm having difficulties recreating it.. but I did CTD twice after clicking the turn button more than 40 times (one right after the other). Sometimes the system hangs while its calculating but that is to be epxected. Not sure if its the number of clicks or just clicking at the right time that is causing problems (such as the colorful notificiations, auto saves or other factors). I'll just keep on clickin hopefully I'll be able to make some kind of connection.

-Yours
Click Happy

OTNList: I have a feeling that CTD could be caused by clicking through the auto-save.  We'll do some test to see if we can cure that crash.
