v1.6.1 Bugs Thread

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Please post bugs in this thread for v1.6.1

Please check the Known Issues post before posting so see if the problem has already been identified. 'Me too' posts for unresolved bugs are fine as it shows they are affecting more than one person. Any extra information you can provide in 'me too' posts is very welcome.

Please do not post bugs from previous versions unless you confirm they are still present in v1.6.1.

When you post, please post as much information as possible, including the function number, the complete error text, the window affected, what you were doing at the time, if this was a conventional start and if this was a random stars game. Also if the bug is easy to reproduce, intermittent or a one-off. If this is a long campaign - say 75 years or longer - let me know the length of the campaign as well.

My AV software (Avast) really doesn't like the Aurora. exe file - it has apparently sent it off for investigation and I should learn what horrors it contains in a little over half an hour (happens when running the file)

Can confirm, you are under investigation, Steve

Just started 1.61 .

After making a new Race ( post TN ) , selecting flag , hull etc and pressing "Create Race " i keep getting the following pop-up

" Only a single spinal weapon can be added to a class design"

I am having to close this 3 times before it disappears . Should this message appear ?

Minor bug: This message appeared when I created a new game with 3 NPRs. As soon as I clicked "Create Race" for my player race, the message popped up 4 times before the game started.

This is on v1.61, not v1.60.

I didn't click anything. I just turned on the window and hit search.

Uh some serious error. it's not possible to create new game loots of error

In your country, is the decimal separator a period or a comma? For one point one, do you write 1.1 or 1,1 ?

Comma.
When I changed all the dots to commas, it started working

Same. Tried running in Administrator mode, still nothing. I'm going to assume Steve isn't trying to Rootkit me and I'll just override it.

Update on this: Avast gave it a green light, so we are not beeing hacked guys.

Samesies. Hopefully this isn't a problem. I will investigate NPR ship designs.

I've just had a message pop up saying it's clean   No longer throws a fit when I try and run the file.

OK, let me know what you find

I'm checking on the spinal weapon problem. I'll update if required.

Selecting a Neutral Race in the Create New Race window when starting a new game, causes nearly all the starting race resources (everything except population and shipyards) to be set to 0.

That is working as intended.

Managed to recreate once in about six NPRs generated. No idea on it, but I will avoid the error for NPRs for now. There may be some odd thing happened occasionally in NPR ship design, which will take a while to find.

I'll create a 1.6.2 with a temporary patch.
