1.6 Crash When Cancelling Upgrade of a Custom Ship

February 18, 2016 5:35:53 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

This is a new game started with the release version of 1.6 with Mercenaries.

I have a custom version of the constructor which is much cheaper to build than the default beginning one and the same for the colony ship.  I normally build the cheap constructor, move it back into the shipyard and upgrade it to the cheap colony ship, then launch the colony ship when it is ready.

This time, when I chose to upgrade the cheap constructor, I then chose Cancel to see what would happen.  The game seemed to pause for about 2 seconds, then it crashed to the desktop.

Submitted Ticket ID #VVA-860-83119 with a saved game just before it happens.

Old Spider,

Thanks for the report.  I'll have the team look into it.

I have had the same problem. I also noticed that if you upgrade a ship you can only do once. It seems that the game thinks the ship is still upgrading. (says so in the tooltip) I tried cancelling and it crashed. You can use the ship, but it will eventually be outclassed.

Quoting Grathocke,

I also have a ticket in for that problem.  That problem only occurs if the ship is upgraded in space.  An armed ship that is labeled as still upgrading seems normal, but it cannot attack anything.  It can defend like a normal ship.  Upgrades occur properly at a planet, starbase or shipyard.  Even stranger, if you save a game and reload it, a ship labeled as still upgrading will have the upgrade finished and be completly normal.
