Issues in Beta 6 [devs note: updated]

from GalCiv3 Forums

Dear Stardock,

You gents rock, thank you very much for this new beta. I am enjoying my game as the Iconians. There is much improved in the game compared to Beta 5.3.

However, I have noticed the following:

- Shipyards are taking me 35-75 turns to build. Really?? Is this WAD?

- Diplomacy seems screwy so far. Thalians declared war on me for no reason whatsoever, refuse to even speak to me, and yet our relations are given as "warm".

- Have noticed a few typos, e.g. capitalization where it shouldn't be, but nothing to have a cow about :)

 

Haven't tried to load a saved game yet.

 

Update:

Further bugs:

- On loading a saved game, every one of my planets/shipyards/starbases has a green shield over it, yet I have NO ships orbiting these things (I saw this bug in 5.3 too)

- 3 columns of the Colonies tab are still screwed up (carried over from 5.3)

 

Thought I would report these issues, anyway.

Cheers!

This is due to the fortification ability that has every planet/starbase defended...  Not a bug working as designed.

Actually this is a the version to have a cow about it. If it bothers you make mention of it so they can fix it before release.

I'm starting to think this might be the resistance icon...it's not very clear.

Thanks. But they only appeared after I loaded a saved game - is that an issue/bug?

Are you using old saves or new saves made after opt-ing in?

Have you sent a ticket in about this?

How to create a support ticket:

For support where examining saves is required, names of ships, planets and starbases, etc, are extremely helpful in our attempts to reproduce the issue.

I'm using a brand new game started after installing opt-in Beta 6 and restarting my PC and Steam after doing the install of the beta.
