v1.00 Bugs Thread

I can't create a new system using SM mode. The system view screen goes dark as if it tried to open a new window, but no new window opens and the game becomes unresponsive forcing me to restart it.

Please note I'm using Linux but everything else works fine so far so I would appreciate if someone tried to re-create the bug in case it's a system issue not a game issue.

I can't either, in the default game with known stars. I get this error on clicking Create System:
Function #2688: Input string was not in a correct format.
The window with I guess the list of stars is empty. Closing it brings those errors:

Function #1612: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #1607: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #1562: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #2430: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #2431: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The game uses the System Language to show Completion Dates in Research, Industry and probably other fields where a date is seen, these dates get cut off when the string is to long

Looks like this is the first non-code issue. In all my games, the day isn't seen, only the date, so there is enough room.

Anyone know if that is a date setting in Windows?

It is, and VB used to ignore it entirely and show dates the English way.
And yes if I change the date format to English in Windows's region options, it fits.

Also do you still need to set Windows to display numbers the English way?

Not really a bug, but it feels like the best place to ask, is there a 'instant research to X cost' button like there was in V6B?

Apologies but I am not going to hunt for bugs unless they appear in a Windows install. I have no knowledge of Linux.

It's fine, thank you, I just wanted to know whether or not the problem was on my end so I'm already downloading windows

Clicking the "Completed" or "Exc Start" buttons in the research window doesn't show completed tech as expected.

Playing conventional empire.  No techs researched yet.
Strange bug when in ship class design.
When clicking Design Philosopy i get multiple errors Function #2623, 2631, 2629, 2627, etc.
After clicking trough these when clicking refresh tech i suddenly have a large amount of extra components that i had not researched earlier.

I like this bug 

One of my Administrators has both the traits attractive and unattractive at the same time  - I was just going to pick her for her production bonuses



By the way love the game so far.  It looks so awesome very excited.

Is this a Windows install. Was it Real Stars or Random?

You need to be in SM mode (the crystal ball)

Created and researched a HQ Unit.
Listed in GU Training, but name and stats are blank.
Attempting to build throws: #2187 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

EDIT: Forgot to put unit into a formation so that's my bad there, but there is still a blank formation template that throws an error in the list.

'Potential Colonies' button in main view opens 'race comparison' window - probably not working as intended

Design Philosophy button should not be visible - for NPRS only

On clicking "Create Race" on a new game.

Function #1608: An item with the same key has already been added.
Function #1562: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #1423: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.
(8 copies of that)
Function #2939: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #2939: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It hung after this

Race was "Humans" short name "Humans", Homeworld "Earth", conventional start. I changed the hull and station images. No idea if any of that is actually helpful.

Did you set a command rating - just wondering if I didn't set a default. I've created a lot of HQ units so something odd is happening.

When you add a new planet, no matter what number of moons you chose, none are added.
Extra asteroids created are all named Asteroid #0.

Is this a Windows install. Was it Real Stars or Random?

Oh yes should've mentioned it, it's Windows 7. With real stars.

Ok, i was not in SM mode so i'm assuming its a bug then
