Message counter weirdness

[100thMonkey]

Platform: Steam
Build version: v1.3.7.5 Beta (started with that version)
Severity: Low
Annoyance factor: Low
Confusion for new players: High
Saved game: Available if necessary


Two problems:

• Immediately at the start of a new game, before having done anything, the message counter indicates that there are 68 messages !

• If I set the filters to show all messages, so that the counter indicates "All Messages 68/68", only one message is visible in the message window.

Greetings.

There are 68 messages types available and you have selected to show all 68, displayed as 68/68. Click on one of the message types and you will see the counter change to 67/68.

The date of the message in 2754.01.01, which is typically the starting date of any game. From the image, I can't tell how far you've gotten into your game. If you're seeing this right as the game loaded up - there wasn't enough time for other messages and items to generate.

What happens if you let the game run?
