Beta 2 Benevolent Ideology tree points not being deducted

from GalCiv3 Forums

While progressing down the Benevolent Ideology tree I chose Benevolence, Pioneering, Mindfulness, and Breakthrough.  After each of those choices, the number of points I had accumulated (shown in the upper left corner) was decremented by the number of points required for each choice.

However, on my next choice, I had 52 points available, I chose Empathy, and afterwards I still had 52 points.

There's a saved game here.  Since it was saved after I made my choice of Empathy, I'm not sure that it will tell you anything.  But it does exhibit another strange behavior - if I open the Ideology window, and do nothing except click on Done, it automatically opens the Technology window.

Much later in the game the same thing happened for "Beacon", and for "Affinity".  This explains why I was able to move through the tree so quickly last game.

Edit: Same thing on Radiant.  I had 144 benevolence points, Radiant required 143, and after unlocking it I still had 144.

The same problem (among many others) has been reported in this thread for the Pragmatic tree.  One wonders if it exists in the Malevolent tree as well.

Thanks, we will look into the Ideology screen for odd behavior.
