1.7.0.6 Savegame Load Bug - 12/14/2011 2:11:15 PM

When I load any savegame the main view screen is focused on an empty point in deep space with nothing around. The thing that was selected when I originally saved the game is highlighted in the menu on the bottom left but the view is elsewhere. If I click the 'go to selected' button, then the view jumps to where it should have been after the savegame first loaded. It didn't do this in RoTS but it does in Legends.

It appears that the view focus coordinates are not being saved right in the savegame file or else they aren't being loaded right. Thanks.

Looks like the coordinates are being saved and applied properly, but not the zoom level.

Note that the loaded game will not necessarily be centered on the selected item, unless it was that way when you saved the game. The game saves the currently viewed galaxy coords.

We'll fix the zoom issue in the next update.

Thanks
Elliot

That make perfect sense. Thanks very much, Elliot.
