Status: offline 		*this might be hard to explain*

have encountered a weird, non-critical, bug in current playthru using v1.03

-during dec. resolution, affecting various decisions

-when i resolve, for instance, a militia decision to incorporate merc into militia and thus raise exp of militia units...after picking choice screen flashes and nothing happens..can continue play as normal...HOWEVER...if i quit out and reload my manual start of turn save and then do the same decision with the same choice i get a popup stating militia exp went up 'x%'...can continue play as normal...and all other events/dec proceed as normal with their popups and such

i dont consider this critical since gameplay continues and on future turns the save/reload works as described above...

what i dont know is if the lack of popup means i just lost out on some info or if the dec i resolved didnt get applied (havent gotten annoyed enough to test it out..but have gotten annoyed enough and had it repeat enough to let u all know)

can provide save if needed

thx (friggin awesome game btw)

Status: offline 		unfortunately the issue is only sort-of repeatable...the save i send u wont do the lack of popups when u load it...in fact loading a save fixes the issue for that turn...in future turns (the number of turns varies greatly..sometimes the next turn sometimes 10 turns later...sometimes something in between) it will happen but there is no rhyme or reason that i can discern as to when it will happen or why

let me know if u still want a save with the above in consideration

Status: offline 		I get the same, the decision selected is taken but the results not shown - I've checked the city the event happened in for example and unrest etc. has changed referencing the event. As gogopher said it doesn't seem to have any pattern to it that I've noticed but I'll see if I can keep a note of which decisions it happens to. When it does happen it makes the information sidebars and bottom bar go away. I've also had it happen when I click on the "Call" button on (as far as I can remember) zone governors, secretary, and model design bureau representative.

Status: offline 		Thats interesting info.

So the decision result does not get shown but is implemented?

Remember there is also a decision logbook report

Status: offline 		as spork described im experiencing exactly the same thing...but i have yet to discern a pattern nor have i been able to predict when or why it will happen...as i said i can send u a save but i cannot guarantee that u all will be able to replicate it...since it almost seems to happen every few turns randomly

Status: offline 		Yeah, I also sometimes don't get confirmation popups after decisions.

Usually when it happens, it looks like the graphics for the left and right side bars disappear, as if they were collapsed.

This bug also seems to sometimes happen when you click on a leader's portrait to open up the information window on the leader. The popup doesn't come up, but the sidebar graphics disappear. I then need to click the leader again to actually bring up the popup.

Status: offline 		Oh yes it's when I click on the portrait, not the "Call" button, sorry.

Edit - this is with beta9.

And it just happened with the Call button on my economic council director - the side panels disappeared but the bottom one remained. The leader didn't pop up but the other dialog stayed, which is the Organisations panel in the Reports area. Strangely if I click in the areas outside the report (on blank hexes in this case) the side panels pop back in.

Status: offline 		It must be some prior actions or being in a specifc order mode that causes this.

If anybody can repeat this behaviour with a certain sequence from a savefile. Please send it to vic@vrdesigns.net
I would be extremely grateful.

best wishes,
Vic
