1.0.2.7 Message system is not working as before

Post by Badbonez »

Ever since 1.0.2.4 the message system has not been working right. Instead of displaying the message fully open, it is always minimized and sometimes, does not give you the options you need to progress. I wrote a topic about this where the Ghost Fleet options do not appear and the AI randomly picks an outcome.

But there are other issues. In the case where you find a buried battleship, I do not get the option to choose to stabilize the planet or wait (does anyone actually ever wait?). Here is an illustrated example:

In this image, I opened the message and see the expected prompt to Investigate or leave it alone. I pick investigate (does anyone ever pick leave it alone? What's the point of that option?)

Image

Next, after selecting that option, the message reverts to the minimized version:

Image

I re-open the message (this did not work this way before 1.0.2.4) and once again get the option to investigate the battleship.

Image

I click Investigate...again...and this time I get a new screen asking me if I want to stabilize the planet or wait. Yet I do not have any buttons that prompt those options!

Image

When I click Investigate...again...it gives me the same image as above with the title Technology Discovered, and once again the option to click Investigate. Which I do, then the message disappears.

Am I the only one with this issue?

I have attached a save which was saved after the first prompt was clicked so you too can have the thrill of pressing Investigate over and over again.
