[1.0.2.8] Meeting the Boskara Collective Notification Spam

Post by ajeffco »

After pausing via the escape key, I came back to the game sending the same notification over and over. When I clicked on the little "text box" inside one of the notifications, it then just speed up the rate of notifications and continued. I saved the game, exited to desktop and the reloaded. On reload it just kept on spamming the same notification.

No crashes or anything like that. Save game is attached.

EDIT: Added a 7 second video clip (GIF) of the behavior, not sure if the sound is included. Try that for at least 5+ minutes ;)

A different issue entirely with notifications, but the Redundant Department of Redundancy is working overtime.

Gift a race: You get a notice that you gifted them, followed by their accept/reject the gift. There is no need for the first notice as you just did the gifting.

Meet a Pirate: Sometimes it open the diplomacy window and offers Protection there. Other times it opens one to two message notifications of the Protection offer. If you accept both, do you pay twice? :D

An Empire offers you a treaty and you click accept, only to have them reject the treaty. I suspect that you Diplo level might have dropped in the time it took to click.

In later games, notifications can appear onscreen that have aged out of existence before being displayed. 4x is bad at that time.

Started a brand new game, and have the exact same thing happening. But this time I was not paused, I was "in game". The trigger it looks like is meeting the the Boskara Collective.

No matter how I answer, it just keeps spamming away. The game seems to play fine but the constant beeping is extremely annoying.

For what it's worth, I had this issue and resolved it by updating to the 1.0.3.5 beta.
