Report - Current Bugs and Issues

[quovadis]

Getting this late game bug (type) every game no matter which race I start since the 2nd or 3rd most recent updates on the indev branch on Steam. Have also updated with latest patch. Only saw one similar post several years ago but couldn't find any solution... help? I also have the rebalancing mod installed using the ArieyssaRebalance one posted in the forum.

P.S. replace "human_harmonized" with "XX_harmonized" since it changes from game to game.

I'm on the "live" build on GOG. I'm on my 3rd playthrough of the game.

I'm (Yoral) orbiting an enemy Tinker planet with a minor faction fleet (marauders). I am "at peace" with the marauders, and at war with the Tinkers. The marauders are at war with the Tinkers. I have a prompt option to intervene on the fight between the marauders and the tinkers. The tinker planet is undefended. Accepting an option to intervene lets me attack and destroy the marauders. In fact, the "Autocombat" button also does the same thing (my ships attack the marauders). This action does NOT put me at war with the marauders, nor does it cause any kind of Faction relationship penalty. That doesn't feel right.

Annexing the Tinkers causes their entire population to become disconnected even thought I now control their homeworld. This significantly reduces their population's effectiveness.

In the GoG galaxy app, it's possible to opt into different builds of the game by going to Manage Installation -> Configure -> Beta channels. If you switch your beta channel to "in_development" you'll get placed on the same version of the game most "testers" are using. Critically, right now, that build includes some features for the in-game "Options->upload game logs" feature.

If you still have the save where this happened, switching to "in development", then uploading the save so I can take a look at it would be useful.

These kinds of three-way battles are something that I aspire to have SiS handle reasonably well, but they come up so rarely (usually less than once per playthrough) that I haven't made fixing some of the rough edges a priority. Having a compelling example where it's more clear what *should* have happened, vs. what *did* happen would be useful.

Hello Sven! I've switched to the in_development build on GOG galaxy. Thanks for that.

I have uploaded game logs "game_10444" for the 3 way battle I mentioned earlier.

Windows 7 => The procedure entrypoint CreateFile2 could not be located in the kernel32.dll ... Versions 53244-48 don't start 8((

BUT: Version 53338 works on Windows Seven

Windows 7 => Точка входа в процедуру CreateFile2 не найдена в библиотеке DLL KERNEL32.dll ... Versions 53244-48 don't start 8((

BUT: Version 53338 works on Windows Seven

Oops. It looks like upgrading to the latest Microsoft C++ build tools broke windows 7 compatibility. That was not intentional. I've tried to fix it, but I don't have my own win7 machine for testing. Version 53251 might work for you? (Should be up on Steam/GoG etc.)

[Centurion XXI]

Version 53251 unfortunately also doesn't start 8( The same error text 8((

Hmm. I've been digging around in my closet, trying to find the power adapter for the only windows 7 machine I still own (an old hp laptop). But so far no luck. So I can't actually test these fixes myself. I did just post another build that *might* restore windows 7 compatibility though. 53254. Let me know if it works for you?

[Centurion XXI]

Yes 8) New versions 53254-56 are work again. Thank You! I have an older computer (with 4GB of RAM)... so Windows 7 support is important to me.

A few Bugs i encountered in r38774 and can still reproduce when loading in latest Steam build (r53270).
The release of the new version motivated me to finally report them.

Bug_Scavengercolony:
Description: Misam II could start in system colony base as >=2M transportable colonists were present when starting the build. During building these colonists have been removed and only non-transportable colonists remained in >=2M population quantity.
Expected behaviour: Colony base build cancels during next turn and production on next item in queue proceeds with labor used on the next item in the queue.
Actual behaviour: Production on colony base continues until completion of Misam I. If <2M transportable colonists of the same species are present the non-transportable colonists (in this case the Scavengers) will build the in-system colony. I am pretty sure the same would happen with other non-transportable colonists and colony ships, making it theoretically possible to spread the Viscids to the entire galaxy. Shock, horror!
Additional note: In the fix the production should only stop if there is <1.25M transportable colonists available, as 0.25M is also the minimum to stay behind on a planet. The same should go for being able to build colony bases and colony ships (1.25M transportable colonists available).

Bug_Transport_People:
Description: Harpy Repellant and Star Gates are researched and deployed, however travel is not instantaneous and Harpies block travel.
Expected behaviour: Transport ships moving colonists via the "Move colonists" option to a system with unprovoked Harpies (either from in-system or from off-system with connected Star Gates) should arrive in 0 turns, that means they should land as soon as the connected planet to move to is selected.
Actual behaviour: Transports are stuck in the targeted system the unprovoked Harpies occupy until the next turn.

VisualBugWhenRaiding:
Description: Just a visual bug when having losses during a raid.
Expected behaviour: Raiding Formalhaut shows my forces as their respective species in the Raid summary screen.
Actual behaviour: Raiding Formalhaut shows my forces which have losses as human slaves in the Raid summary screen, even though they are different species.

Gifted Human colonists come from fargone Outpost: (no save file attached)
Description: A tiny inconsistency I see often is when allied with the Human race (which I always try to do, poor guys) they will at one point send over some interested settlers to live on my worlds. The transports are sent from fargone Outpost, as this is counted as their capital. Most times I get it before they build a colony on the rock that is there. Perhaps it is a human law or tradition to say goodbye when passing the antique human memorial that is the fargone outpost, reminding all humans exiting the empire of the hardship their species has endured. Perhaps it is was just overlooked when coding, that there cannot possibly be settlers in that system. Perhaps both.
Expected behaviour: Allied Human settlers gifted to Players empire are sent from the closest colonised system that has colonists to spare
Actual behaviour: Allied Human settlers gifted to Players empire are sent from fargone (Outpost-only) system.

Your rationalization for the humans from fargone is so fun, I think that should not be "fixed".
