Official v7.10 Bugs Reporting Thread

In your printscreen.
Turn this option ON.

Then we might see more

I think under the text "Increment Placeholder" there might be an error

My bad, here's the event log with the errors turned on.

The log don't show the error, because you Taskkill aurora
Can you check your Task Forces for mistakes?

Or upload / post your savegame online.

[rorror]

Taskforces with more then 205 units in it give an overflow 6 error
So give 1 taskforce 206units and you get 1 error.
give the taskforce 207 units, you get 2 errors (etc etc etc)

Can you be sure it is related to ship count in the TF, and not some other value? I know this error from when the fuel limit of 2.15b liters is broken in a TF, where you indeed get 1 error window for each ship you add after this limit had been reached.

I am suspicious of the source, because I had fighter fleets of much larger counts running in a single TF without error. (albeit in older versions) We are speaking of 720 fighters + carrier and escorts here.

In this case it would be the Fuel Production. (Not the fuel storage)
When i add one more harvester i get the error.

[Vandermeer]

Yes, that does the same thing too, correct. So it was just that, *phew*. Saw my fighter fleet dreams endangered.

Not really a bug. Steve is using a signed 32-bit integer to store that value, or 2,147,483,647.

I have the error 94 spamming me with popups whenever I advance the game by any amount of time or go into the task group orders menu. At first I thought it was being caused by this gas collect I had that I sent off to rescue a stranded fleet, but it just sat there with the text "125k/h ()". I thought it was the empty brackets that were "null" but it turn out no. I also checked my offciers and none of them seem to have apostrophes or blank rank names.

How do I salvage my game? I don't want it to be the case that some random, unpredictable error sinks days long campaigns. 

And yes, I did restart the game.

Oh, and is the wiki ever going back up?

a limitation that have been set in place a long time ago to counter database overhead, when tought that fuel storage/production would not exceet the 32bit integer. Maybe not not a bug, but design error from the past.

[seronis]

Its still a bug.   The display value for the fleet can just show a max value msg when it isnt capable of calculating the real total.   Other games do this.   Hell some telnet MUD games I used to code on (anyone remember ROM and CIRCLE ?) had code in them along the lines of 

Code: [Select]

if( max_int - cur_total > value_to_add ) {  /* oops */ }
prevents crashes at least

Make sure you are not using the comma as your decimal separator.  You need to use the period for that.

Is there official update for this already? So we can use comma as our decimal separator.

[boggo2300]

no,  it's part of Steves evil plan to conquer Europe...

Hi all.   I’m about 50 years into my campaign and now every time I advance time (by any increment size) I get an error popup entitled “Error in MoveToClosestItem” with the error Error 9 Subscript out of range.   I don’t remember doing anything other than changing some research the turn before.   I can eventually click through the 200 or so error popups and the turn will finish successfully but every time I advance time I’ll get the same flurry of popups. 
 
The error in the event log does not provide any further information.

After a search, I found that the v5. 54 patch addressed a MoveToClosestItem but that was a long time ago so I’m not sure they are related.  Any ideas?

The void of admirals.
I had my fleet command staff on the flag bridge of a capital ship which went into battle and blew up, all the survivors in the lifeboats died as I had no ships left. However using the Taskforces screen I could move them from <Unknown System> back to Earth and the entire staff was still alive
