v6.00 Official Bugs Thread

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Here's a minor one.  The description in the Power Efficiency/Power Reduction reads "for engines and power plants", but I believe the tech line is now only used for power plants.

I've changed it to Reactor Power Boost tech and removed the references to fuel efficiency and engines. I have also halved the research cost for each level.

starting a new game using the spacemaster start throws up an error to the effect of "can't have a race name of 0 chars" and then a mess of related errors.  Regular Sol start seems to work fine for me.  

Fixed for v6.10

I'm getting a divide by zero error every 5-day increment from the Geological Team surveying Apollo. I notice it and the other near-Earth asteroids have diameters of 0 in the system view.

I've changed the near-Earth asteroids to have a radius of 1 km. Not astromically correct but it should prevent that type of problem

Clicking on the "About" tab under Help in the main menu bar results in a 3201 error and complete lock up which can only be cured by closing the programme through the Task Manager (win7)

Oops! I left some test code behind that button. Removed for the next version.

you can build missile and civ designed drives in the ship components section of the industry tab.

not sure if the missle drives are a bug as they could be used to make missiles faster like ships?

I've removed both from the list

In the f7 (Race tech screen) the missile engine designs don't appear to show when you select that option from the drop down.

Fixed for v6.10

A friend of mine is having some missile production issues.
Namely, for some reason the game is consuming over 2000 tons of uridium per missile, which is rather expensive for missiles without any sensors on them.





Cost displays correctly in the design window, and in the industry allocation section, but not in the construction options section.



The expense does wind up eating into his mineral stores though.

It doesn't happen to all of his missiles, so I haven't a clue why it happens. But there it is.

edit: and apparently re-researching the missiles fixes it. :shrug:

Under the Ships Design tab:

After creating a design and locking it, if you change the deployment time the additional crew modules will be added if the deployment time is increased. If the time is decreased, nothing changes.

I've disabled the deployment time when the design is locked

Also this is a bug that's been around since 5.6 but whenever I've run into the Star Swarm the contact listings have been cut off and wrap around to the left side of the system maps screen, behind the control windows for most cases. http://i.imgur.com/RHVLn.png

When advancing time by 5 days (I think a ship just entered a new system for the first time):

Error in GetSystemThemeName
Error 3077 was generated by DAO. Recordset

Strength 0 Nuclear Detonation x3 Detected!

It looks like an NPR is launching AMM against one of my sensor drones that's headed for what presumably is their home planet. Although they do appear to have excellent accuracy against my slow moving drone, it looks like their engineers forgot to include warheads.

EDIT: Also 'Missile Engines' in the tech summary window doesn't display anything.

Just finished building a few sorium harvesters to send to alpha centauri(7mil sorium on B2 at .7 acc? Hell yeah!), and set up the primary and secondary orders(after ordering them to dump fuel on alpha B3, my primary colony in alpha centauri). Well, I hit 30 days, and I got an error 5, invalid procedure call or argument. It goes away after a minute of holding down enter, and time advances, but then it pops right back up

I have run into that one also.  (The Strength 0 nuclear detonations, that is).  I had the greatest of fun imagining that the warheads had degraded to the point of being more like fizzles than proper nuclear detonations.

got some precursor attacking me with warhead-0 missiles.

After starting a new game, with "Create ship systems and ship designs" checked, no ships can be built in any of the shipyards; the New Class list is empty.
