v2.6.0 Bugs Thread

[lumporr]

Yeah, there's some funkiness with missiles. I've had missiles that, once designed and instantly researched, popped out in the research tree as missile launchers. But anyway.

When creating a missile with a large warhead strength (50) and instantly research it, whenever I open the missile on the "Load Previous" tab of the Missile Design page, errors pops up with the following message:

2.6.0 Function #2609: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.

Afterwards, when creating another missile, I get:

2.6.0 Function #2390: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After refreshing the page, I can no longer load any missiles, I receive the error each time, as well as similar errors whenever I'd view any missiles on any other page (i.e. ship designer, etc.)

Not really bugs in the settings for a new game:
- missing explanations for the Enhanced races and for "NPR Base Explored Transits", "NPR Random Explored Transits", "NPR Max Start Systems", "Pre-Industrial NPR %", "Industrial NPR %";
- explanations don't appear if the cursor is over the name of a setting, in the leftmost and central columns (exception: "Hostility Modifier");
- explanation should disappear when the cursor leaves a setting: now, the explanation of the last visited setting remains visible until a new setting is visited, that can cause misinterpretation;
- a border would be appreciated for the text boxes where to insert SM password and confirmation;
- in the explanation for "Local System Generation Chance %", there is the word "definied": maybe it should be "defined";
- why the default "Construction cycle time" is it set to 430,000 seconds, instead of 432,000 (= 5 days exactly)?
- in the explanation for "Limited Planet Distance", it appears the "LG" acronym: should it be "LP", Lagrange Point, instead?

I have a bug when trying to delete an order template. An error message pops up and the template doesn't get deleted.

the error message is:

2.6.0 Function #3916: InvalidArgument=The value '0' is not valid for 'index'.
Name of the parameter : index.

SJW: Fixed for v.2.6.1

When I try advancing time I get the message:

2.6.0 Function #1414: the given key was not present in the dictionary

If I click okay it reappears. It prevents me from doing anything.
If I hold enter to spam click okay, after sometime it advances time.
The time advancement doesn't stop on the regular events (such as research complete)   
The game is 10 years in.

SJW: More information requested

Not sure if this is a bug or WAD, but after researching crew efficiency, existing ship templates won't update, including making a copy of the template. A new template has to be created to  apply the new efficiency.

There's a new button on the Class Design window "Update CDE" which updates this (works like Update Armour).

SJW: Post checked.

Ignore, changing localisation settings resolved this.

On the Economics > Governor / Misc tab, there's an issue with editing the Fuel Warning and MSP Warning quantities.

The amounts are displayed with spaces where the thousand separator should be.  However if you edit them, unless you remove all the spaces, the amount is changed to 0 (once you leave the tab and go back to it).

(My localisation settings are for the UK)

SJW: Noted below as not a bug

I just tested this to check. It doesn't happen if you have the thousands separator as a comma. It may be a separate localization setting from the decimal separator.

SJW: Post checked.

Got it, thank you!

You're quite right, I had a space as my "digit grouping seperator".

SJW: Post checked.

LG Infrastructure is still shown as a trade good, despite it being removed from the game.

SJW: Removed for next DB release

Could be PEBCAK

I tried twice to create games with 4 NPRs where:

o   NPR Base Explored Transits: 0
o   NPR Random Explored Transits: 6
o   NPR Max Start Systems: 0

The second time I actually tried 0/4/0.

Both times, the game spun for several minutes and did not complete the game.  Known Stars was off, Use Constellation Names was on, in case that matters.

I was able to succeed on the third try with 1/4/20 settings, known stars and use constellation names off.  I can do some more troubleshooting next weekend if it's helpful to try and narrow down what seems to case a problem.

When I put a military jump drive on a ship, the design remains commercial.


As always, I run Aurora through WINE on a Linux system, which means the absence of actual .Net4 software may or may not play a role.

SJW: Working as intended. All jump drives are commercial systems.

#1414 is fleet movement. Anything unusual happen in the game prior to this happening? Deleting fleets, anything else, etc.?

I dont seem to be able to delete movement order templates.
I first click on the template name then pressed delete template not sure if im just doing something wrong.

Edit I meant the new standing/conditional order Templates.

SJW: Already fixed for v2.6.1 (see above).
