Hi distanters

So far all three new games started with beta 1.2.9.3 have CTD; the first shortly after encountering the ghost fleet, the second while attempting to explore a ruin (planet Terra), the last before even encountering the ghost fleet.

Games started with previous betas appear to have no ...

Mid game. I realize that most of my 23 CTSs, all in "Fully Automated" doing nothing when instead I have approximately 80 mining stations queued... wait some days... wait 1 month...wait 6 months... nothing happens.

Hello!

Usually when war is going good for me, AI empire suggests to end the war and gives a bunch of stuff (techs, coordinates of ruins etc). But how to demand same stuff manually? Does it depend from language tech?


You can do it with the usual "Negotiate a deal" menu, under Diplomacy section ...

... there seems to be a bugged ship that is automatically selected when I click on any ship or base station in the same system...


...I confirm, in my case the ship is a transport, in some cases it is not really possible to select another object (ship or planet) with a click but only with shift ...

We will be working to improve pathfinding in the future, both in terms of its choices and performance. It is overly focused on pathing through systems right now.


Thanks, that sounds like good news.

Meanwhile, continuing the game (now mid-late game) I noticed that pathfinding goes crazy ...

I think one of the worst things in DW2 is the automatic pathfinding. But now it seems that even by tracing a route manually most of the time it is not possible to obtain acceptable results: in the screenshot the third fleet must reach the region "west" of Titus and reach Almas: the automatic tracing ...

My mistake ... I had tried landing on three other planets, without realizing that they had all reached the population limit

Hey thanks for the report! Do you have a save and screenshots you could share that shows this issue + any steps to reproduce it? You can post them to this forum.

Hi
is there a key binding for quick save? if not, could it be expected in the future? Quick save: a key combination for save current game overe the current saving file whitout any prompt.

That looks odd for sure. Do you have a save game we can look at?


Yes, file is attached. Paths in Move Hasty are worse than in Deliberate.

Another problem that I don't think is connected to the previous one: opening Saved Campaign, clicking in the empty space of the file list, generates an ...

Hi
Deployment phase scenario 1, "Big Red One" campaign: simply look at this insane path :
Same behaviour with other APC recon sections or MBT platoons; SP section or HQ seems not affected...

Perfect! With the latest update, the save file problem seems to be solved.

With v.1.0.8.9 after 40/50 year in game, when I try to save, the game crash. I can reload previous saved files but if I try after a while to save, the game crash again. This happen only whit steam beta 1.0.8.9. No problems with the last official (Matrix) release.
Anyone whit same problem ...

Planets by type?

Simple question: among all the explored planets is there a way to filter out those of a certain type? How can you know how many / which volcanic or gas giant planets have been explored?

thank you
