Official v6.40 Bugs Reporting Thread

Ver 6.43

Encountered a serious bug about Event log. Ended the processes of Aurora when I clicked "Auto turns" incorrectly, which I have done many times without any problem.  Then the window of "Events update" can't be displayed.  Restarted the game several times, but it doesn't help.  Any ideas?

Not sure whats going on but I get the following message 3 times.

Aurora

No new technology was discovered during the disassembly of this component

After pressing ok thrice I get the following message

Aurora

Wreck not found in CompleteWreckSalvage



1 click on ok and the game runs as it should to the next 30 day cycle, there seems to be a variation of the above messages ... I presume its an "leak" from an NPC or something...

Apart from that the game works as it should...

Confirming this bug. It appears when an NPR attempts to salvage a wreck. In addition I get several

Error in Wreck ID
Error 91 was generated by Aurora
Object variable or With block variable not set
Please report etc.

That message is interspersed with

Error in Wreck ID
Error 3061 was generated by DAO.database
Too few parameters. Expected 1.
Please report etc.

Ian

Edit: Had a look in designer mode and it appears NPRs are assigning multiple salvage vessels for the same wreck which probably leads to the error messages when one or more salvage vessels are left without a wreck to salvage.

The problem is, I can "open" the Event log with Ctrl+F3 or other normal ways and see it on taskbar, but it can't be displayed correctly. The window doesn't appear when clicked, and when I move my cursor onto it on taskbar, it shows a blank subscreen.

From the main game window, reset window positions.

From the main game window, reset window positions.

Doesn't work. Maybe a programme problem caused by ended the processes of Aurora with task manager.

Finally solved the problem. Started a new game, opened the event log, then used "Game info" button to switch to the original game, and the bug is nuked.

[Bgreman]

There is a male/female column in the database, but as far as I know, the code does not reference it.

This is correct.  Moreover, many of the name themes do not include male/female information at all, so all commanders are generated as male.

Version 6.43

If you accidently assign a ground unit as its own headquarters (i.e. assign the 1st Brigade as headquarters of the 1st Brigade), the unit will disappear from the Ground Units screen. It will continue to show up on other screens (i.e. assign leaders and load ground units) and continue to function, but remains "invisible".

For 6.43

Was about four years into a campaign when this error message started periodically appearing, typically within a 5 day interval of time lapse.

Error in NPRPopPlanning
Error 3021 was generated by DOA.Field
No current Record

After about 20 clicks of the OK button, the message disappears and the time lapses as normal.

Is there anything I can do to salvage this? It pretty much renders the game unplayable, and I really don't want to start another campaign because of this.

edit: Deleting a newly uncovered system seems to fixed the issue. It had a few decent planets, which is a shame.

6.4.3

The game lists the hotkey for the fighter window as F7. This works when the main game menu is active, but doesn't seem to work from other windows, like the economic or events windows (though other hotkeys, like F8 for the battle control window, still do).

Aurora 6.43. Game 40 years in, multiple NPR Sol start.

I am now seeing "Error in GetMaxPotentialSensor Range  Error 6 was generated by Aurora  Overflow etc" for every NPR combat, many times per 5 sec increment, probably at least one per NPR ship engaged. It is very irritating but can be OKed through. This error was also seen in v5.56.

Ver.   6.  43
Using the auto route planning between populations (worked fine in past) and my fleet went to the star instead of the population.   They were only traveling through two systems so it should have been fine, but I only noticed because I was taking a look at sensor ranges and saw the sensors off-set of the planet. 

Edit: Happened again, but this time it put a station (tugging) that was supposed to be over my colony a distance from the jump in the opposite direction in space.

Ver 6.43

I seem to have lost an enemy system...

I sent my fleet to interrogate some survivors of some enemy ships, one of the things I learned was a unknown system...  Good I thought, but when I went in to my Galactic Map I got an error

Error: WP link not found in GetWarpPointData

The next error shows up 2 times and is:

Error in DisplayWP

Error 5 was generated by Aurora

But most strange of all is that the system I found out throe my POWs are on the other side of my known space...

But the missing enemy home system is in the galactic map and in system generation (F9) but when I go to system map there is only a star in that system.... All planets and ships are gone, I can order my fleet to move to the differnt planets and so on...

Game version is v6.43.

One of my NPRs is designing weird\broken ships.

The first design is *just* combat-ineffective (only 1 launcher at 25.5 ktons), but second design has 0 launchers, making it completely useless and broken.

v6.43
A Precursor transport dropped 12 marine units on a newly occupied planet. Everything started normally with them taking damage, slowly reducing their readiness state. then in two consecutive 5 day increments my division destroyed one precursor battalion. The next 5 day increment and they have all gone. There should have been ten battalions left, but nothing. I even checked in designer mode and they are definitely gone.

Got this now too.
