Official v7.10 Bugs Reporting Thread

I don't think that's a bug per se, just kind of a sploitability in how maintenance rolls work.

I don't think that's a bug per se, just kind of a sploitability in how maintenance rolls work.

The bigger advantage of replacing all of your crew quarters with smaller ones is that it raises your internal HTK a lot.  That's what I use it for.  The maintenance benefits are relatively minor in comparison.

I remember doing the same kind of thing with small/tiny fuel storage until they got changed to 0 HTK recently. For consistency's sake at least, changing the smaller crew quarters to have 0 HTK too sounds like a good idea.

Just encountered a DB corruption that changed the specialization of a scientist from one field to another. 

It's 8 years into the game and Lewis Bailey was my top CP scientist at 35%.   I level him up from 10% from the start. 



When the latest research finished, he went "missing" from my CP scientist list until I found him listed under LG.   Naturally, I thought it was just a display error so I turn on SM mode and go to the Teams page to do a reset. 

The reset brought up many error messages:



I was forced to kill the aurora.  exe process.   Upon restarting the game, Lewis Bailey is still listed as LG and reset button does not throw errors anymore, but did nothing. 

**Edit: I can't seem to post images, can mods fix the links for me?

Not directly a bug but the diplomatic screen is prefilled by the main selected Race and if you want to change the diplomatic relations of a different race you have to close the dialog select a different main race and reopen it. In other dialogs you can change the active race inside the screen which makes this a lot easier to SM multiple fractions.

In EnterElysium's You-tube Let's play there's a an error that occurs when launching fighters.
3075 Missing operator

It's a hard error loop meaning that only a CTRL ALT DEL (End Task) seems to end the error messages.

Here's the video in question

index=35&list=PLR5ZBfGW6e1lqlihsRNeIPTcWLXJD0aaV
The error occurs at 6:03 in the stream.

Since it's been documented and can be reviewed (and has been seen by over 3500 viewers) it should probably be fixed if possible.

There was some speculation in the thread that the problem was an apostrophe in the unit's name. IS that the problem?

Apostrophes in names cause issues.

So, I'm now getting errors in my latest game..

As soon as I advance in any increment, I'm getting "Error in MoveToClosestItem", error 9 was generated, blabla...."subscript out of range".

When I spam enter, it'll eventually stop..but it will automatically advance time again (despite autoturns being OFF) and spam the error again. Can only quit Aurora via Task Manager.

Any ideas? I can't think of anything specific I did to cause it.

[formicae]

I started a new game, telling it to automatically research tech and design ships and ship systems.  One of the ships it generated has a jump drive which is too small:

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

It did create a suitable jump drive and a properly-designed jump-capable ship of the same size:

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

I could redesign the ship just fine, but if NPRs use the same code, this may be more of a problem unless it's intended for them to create ships with design errors.

Code: [Select]

4th October 2089 13:12:31,Federation,Unknown,Nicholson Shipping Services has scrapped Nicholson Small F5 041 (Nicholson Small F5 class) due to its replacement by a newer vessel
4th October 2089 13:12:31,Federation,Sol,Nicholson Shipping Services has launched a new Nicholson Huge F4 class Freighter
4th October 2089 13:12:31,Federation,Unknown,Nicholson Shipping Services has scrapped Nicholson Small F5 042 (Nicholson Small F5 class) due to its replacement by a newer vessel
4th October 2089 13:12:31,Federation,Sol,Nicholson Shipping Services has launched a new Nicholson Large F7 class Freighter
Looks like they failed to update their freighter design; whenever they build a huge one it comes out as an F4 instead of an F7. Taking a look at the civilian designs in the class design window I see some C3s and F3s, some C4s and F4s, and some C5s and F5s. All of them huge, and all of the other designs are using engine 7.

PS: "ssmegped"?? Bowdlerization is dumb.

[Shiwanabe]

Came across a bug with Intelligence that's apparently still around. 

Basically, as Bgreman says, refitting ships really screws around with the Intelligence window.

The attached image is basically only what exposed this to me, but I've found that it doesn't update which class each contact is.  (Although, getting a different type of contact for the same ship does seem to sort some of it out) The lack of updating means that while it doesn't attribute the wrong data to the wrong class, it doesn't attribute it to the correct class either.  Any information you gain about the new class just seems to disappear into the aether.

Can't really offer any ideas on what exactly's wrong, but it just seems that each contact is a bit too enthusiastic to remain the same class as what it was when originally found.

Apologies for rambly, but it's easily replicable so if you get around to this it shouldn't be difficult to get more info than I can provide.

Aurora 7.1 Conventional start.
Don't think this is working as intended 

If you research mobile infantry on its completion you get garrison battalion and replacement battalion as a bonus.

UK and USA are TN and tech sharing, PRC has started TN tech research while Russia is still conventional and not researching TN tech. The UK was researching garrison battalion but had not quite finished it.

Isn't that an example of the tech osmosis?

[bean]

Isn't that an example of the tech osmosis?

Not really.  Nobody started with Garrison and Replacement battalions.  When the US got Mobile Infantry, it gave it to the UK directly, and they both got Garrison and Replacement battalions from the other by osmosis from Mobile Infantry.  I think I've seen this before, too.

I actually found a bug that I haven't seen reported in this thread, so here goes.   Unfortunately, I did not grab any screen shots at the time.

I was researching Stellerator Fusion Reactor tech with my top Power & Propulsion expert.   During an exploration of a ruin, I found a set of Stellerator Fusion Reactors.   So, I load them up, haul them to Earth, and begin disassembly.   I get that done, go look at my research, and the project is gone.   I see Magneto-Fusion Drives in the available projects for Power and Propulsion, so the disassembly was enough to complete the project.   However, my researcher was not in the available list.   I tried several mechanisms, but I could not find her anywhere in the research tab.   I could see her in the Officers window, and she showed to be assigned (white background).   I ran a few turns, and she did not reappear.

WORKAROUND:  I assigned the researcher to a Geology team that was available in the Officers window and disbanded the team.   She then reappeared and functions normally.
