Something’s very wrong with the Kasim colony

Post by 100thMonkey »

Platform: Steam
Build version: v1.1.6.5 (Beta)
Severity: High
Saved game:

To start with, from the first time I’ve seen the colony, there was something wrong in its selection panel info:

* The population info line is missing (no population amount or race, nothing).
* The label for the resources line is garbled.
* Crucially, the financial info shows “NaN @ 0% = NaN@.

Why “crucially”?

Because of what happens after conquest. That is the main problem, by far! Basically, it’s as if I don’t have any credits on hand or coming in. Which makes it impossible to buy or build anything from that point on!

Precisely, what happens right after I click on “Dismiss” button in the on the “Colony Conquered” message, is:

* The financial numbers on the top right of the screen are replaced by “NaN”
* The previously screwed up info in Kasim’s selection panel is still screwed up
* From that point on, I can’t build anything, research anything, or do anything that required credits. The reason given is “Not enough money”, even though if I look at my colonies, they are generating money.

So, basically, once I conquer Kasim, I can’t continue to play that game anymore!

I’ve let the game continue, hoping (faintly) that things could fix themselves, but... nah, didn’t happen.

To reproduce the problem, just load the save and unpause the game. You’ll see both my invasion fleet (Invaders 2) and Kasim, the fleet being already set to invade. And watch the greatest financial crash of all times unfold before your eyes...

Thanks for that report.

Unfortunately it looks like your attached savegame is wrong.

Can you please upload the correct savegame?

Thanks
