Official v6.40 Bugs Reporting Thread

Are you sure you don't have 1 day auto turns on there? 
It's unlikely to be NPR stuff since you would expect to see other increments. Maybe a frakkton of 5 seconds then back to whatever you have it set on.

that is why i found it odd  i was hitting the 30 day button and had auto turns on and everything

after leaving it to run and going to get dinner while it was still doing it i gave up and decided to reroll the universe and call this one a bust

Fixed the problem with the fuel stockpile exceeding 2.3 billion litres

Certain NPR ships with very powerful sensors cause this...my current game is plagued with this problem.

I found some ships with the following sensors:
Active Search Sensor MR1737-R97
Active Search Sensor MR2481-R97

When I deleted them the errors stopped.

I reproduced the problem. I was storing max sensor range in a long integer. Changed to a double and the problem disappeared, so fixed for v6.50

Error 6 Was generated

Overflow


Ugh, every cycle.  Going to try a backup.

A sensor range over 2.2ish billion kilometres is causing the problem. Fixed for v6.50

Relatively minor issue but it appears that system bodies designated as 'chunk' that are colonizable according to your racial abilities do not show up in the Available Colonies Analysis page.

The aforementioned system body has been terraformed to a cost 0 planet and has 40m inhabitants so it definitely was colonizable. 

So either it needs updated that I shouldn't have been able to place a populated colony on a chunk or an additional entry needs placed in the query.

Fixed for v6.50

Fixed the problem caused by multiple NPR ships salvaging the same wreck

When a race A gains a tech due to research treaty with race B while already in the process of researching that same tech, it does not get automatically removed. Only once the research has been completed "in-house" will the scientist move to the next item on his/her queue. This is not a big problem if playing just one race but with multiple races/nations, some in research treaties and some not, it can be messy.

Would it be possible to add a check when gaining tech through diplomacy on whether that tech is already under research and if yes, then to automatically move to the next item in queue?

I think I found a strange bug.

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

I think I found a strange bug.

"Increment placeholder" is what happens when a turn terminates before completing. A placeholder event is added when a turn starts and is then replaced with the actual turn length when it completes. If it hasn't been replaced, the turn never reached that point, in which case the program must have crashed during that turn. Is that what happened?

[83athom]

Yes, but I was more concerned about time rewinding.

[xeryon]

Oh?  That's neat.  After a one day increment it went back to the day before to continue 5 second increments from the point where the one day increment had originated from.

As part of preparation for my next campaign, I've been exploring the galaxy with the SM race in SM mode.  I just hit the "Enter/Explore" button (in the F9 screen) on an unexplored jump point and got the following error:

Code: [Select]

Error in GetSystemThemeName

Error 3075 was generated by DAO.Database
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Name = 'Nikol'skij' and RaceID=328'.
Please report to ...
It looks like the extra single quote in the name is the cause of the error, but a quick search shows that this particular issue was supposed to have been resolved years ago.

Exploring another system in SM mode with the SM race generated this error:
