v1.50 Bugs Thread

On loading the game, it shows Function 1170: The given key was not present in the dictionary. It repeats that command and loads the game, but with no bodies whatsoever showing on the map, apart from the sun.

Have you manually created any ruins?

Can you show the pop summary for those population - any issues with your pop production modifiers? Summary middle bottom.   

Oops, sorry, that was it.     
So ~10 million is when they start to feel unsafe and want to be protected by the military.   

I missed this amongst all the "Unrest is rising due to overcrowding" events.    I only looked at the event type, not the text and ignored those because more infrastructure was already on the way.   
Once political instability hit the lowest level, there is no event warning about decreasing stability anymore because political instability hit rock bottom.   

Maybe a "Unrest is as bad as it could be, do something!" event would be helpful?

I second this, since v1.0 there is no message if Political Stability Modifier reaches its lowest level (1%) and stays there. If unrest is at rock bottom, it should probably keep alerting the player.

Different bug, so different post. You can't type numbers in the format 0.N in the max atmospheres field for terraforming. Well, you can, but it's... weird. You can't type "0.". The game won't let you. You can type, say "03" and then modify it to say "0.3", but... It's weird.

Also, if the number in that field is invalid (as it often is when you start typing something like .5 or .7), an exception is thrown.

Fixed.

The Change Image/Station/Hull/Flag buttons in the Race Information window throw errors if you attempt to load an image from anywhere other than the Flags/StationIcons/ShipIcons/Flags folders (respectively).

You need to move new images into the folders as that is where the game is expecting to find the images when it loads.

The 'Change Hull' and 'Change Station' buttons on the Miscellaneous tab of the Galactic Map don't do anything (applies to SM Mode as well).

The 'Theme' dropdown on the Overview tab of the Galactic Map doesn't appear to function properly. Assuming it's the same thing as the System Theme set in the Race Information window, it isn't set to the right value and doesn't do anything when changed.

Change buttons fixed. Theme sets the theme for any systems discovered from the selected system, so you can run multiple naming themes.

1.4 not 1.5, but it seems you can unlock ships that are currently in use in the design window, change the components and lock it again, all without using the Space Master mode. Ships automatically update to include the new components.

Yes, that's fine. It is to allow the player to correct mistakes. It can be abused, but there are may ways in Aurora to cheat at Solitaire if so desired.

True, what is the difference to unlock and change a design AFTER pushing the Spacemaster button? and don't tell me you pushed unlock design by mistake ;-)

Fighters that are landed on a carrier cannot move unless individually detached using Detach button. If you drag & drop them into another fleet, they move at 1 km/s.

Detaching a single fighter and drag & dropping others into its fleet works until you order that fleet to land again. Upon landing, only the fighter that was detached lands, while drag & dropped fighters remain as is in a separate fleet.

Do you know you can mass select and detach on the ships list?

Why is there a (P) after the scientist's name?

Could he be a prototype scientist?

If not, bug fixed.

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

The accessible name  for the mining summary button in the galactic map calls it a "mining smumary.”

Fixed.

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Also on the galactic map, the "refresh," button says "refreash."

Also fixed. Typing accuracy was competing with impending dinner

I keep having NPRs spawn 1 jump next to Sol. I even selected 30 LY min distance this time. And in Alpha Centauri, no less, and thats about 4 LY away :p sigh...

Are they definitely NPRs and not swarm or precursors?

This was posted (not by me) in the 1.4 thread. I just got the same thing with 1.5.

Anyone able to create Medals?

I suddenly get Error 2471, Value can't be NULL although I have filled out all fields and selected an Image.

Can you post db?

Here it is. As a little more background, I got this too on 1.4, which is why I noticed the original report. I then started a new game on 1.4 and it worked. Then a new game on 1.5 and it happened again.

I don't know if this is a bug or intentional, but I was able to add multiple spinal lasers to the same class. I don't remember being able to do that in the previous version.

You have a blank medal image for Survey Medal. You also have eight additional identical survey medals with the same image.

I've changed the code to give warnings for blank images rather than you losing the whole list. This will be in the patch after 1.5.1.
