Bug? - Happiness changing

[Arvantis]

I have two games in which something completely weird happens:

- Until I saved my game, the overall happiness was in the safe zone (with my Americagame: around 40 happy faces, with my Britaingame: around 24 happ faces).

- After loading my savegame the next day, the happy faces change drastically to VERY unhappy (USA: around - 44, Britain: around -10).
I mouseovered the happy faces in the menubar to see what causes this sudden decline.
The game says in both cases that I still receive all happy bonues (such as, from social policies, buildings and luxuries).
But the new thing is: it gives my a HUGE amount of unhappy faces for the absolute number of citizens. My example with the USA shows around -100 (!) unhappy people. This is very, very weird since my US empire got the forbidden city wonder and the socialism policy.

All in all, I received too many unhappy faces causes by population although there was no such "boom" in the birth rate.

I don't know if screenshots may help to solve this.

Please attach a savegame.

But let me first guess: Is any city razing going on?

The same huppened to me!! No city razing. But even if a city razing is going on, must increase the unhuppy by 40 - 50 faces?????

I have had the same issue. I think is came from it not calculating the correct happy after I had Washington capitulate about 8 cities to me.

-It calculated the new additional happiness from buildings and luxuries from the newly acquired cities and land.
-It never calculated the additional population/cities unhappiness
-Once I saved the game it ran the calculations and put me -17 happiness in the hole from +30ish.

Thanks for the additional information. We'd still like to see a save file, though.

I had this happen in a game as well although I don't think I have the save anymore. It had been about a week since I played so I just quit and started a new game... if I see something this odd again I'll make sure the save the file.

I think I had this happen in a game yesterday. When I saved on Thursday my happiness was not great (probably around -10) but when I reloaded Friday it was -30. I do not see how it would have been that bad without me remembering it. Luckily I had six rocket artillery for the active front just had to keep buying mechinfantry as one shot from a city and one shot from a garrisoning crossbow and they where done.

I'm having the same problem. You just cannot afford to quit Civ and load your old game because when you do that your happiness suddnely drops 10-30 points. And there is no explanation why.

Providing a save I can do but how do you know what the starting happiness was? As it changes upon loading.

EDIT:Arvantis, are you using mods? If so, wich ones?

 

[Hyronymus]

OK, time to provide a savegame.

Mods I use in this game:
- CCMAT - Combined Civilization's Mods and Tweaks (v 11)
- Dutch Republic (v 2)
- National Wonders and Building Tweaks (v 1)
- TreeGrowth (v 3)

The bug is the happiness changed, permanently, upon loading. I closed Civ5 sunday evening with 14 happiness. When I reloaded the game I received 68 unhappiness. Tried loading it over and over again but to no avail .

Yes, I am having the same issue and it has ruined my Iroquois game last night. I'd previously wiped out Liz and Sully, and when I was beating on Alex he gave me all his cities but Athens to stop for 10 turns. I raised the bad ones and kept the good cities and all razing is finished now.

Then the peace treaty expired to I took Athens and was -14 so I bought two colosseums to get back to -6 and save on turn 148 and went to bed. I reload today and LOL..I have -34.

How can I lose 28 by reloading a save? I went and reloaded autosave turn 140 and still I have much less happiness than I did during the game at that time. Even reloading from turn 130 seems that I have less happiness. I may have to reload and replay from turn 120 !! What a waste of time.

I've often seen this bug, but never this extreme and there is NO RAZING going on now.

This needs to be addressed now and before the new patch is released. I can't imagine that this is difficult to fix.

Also note that I am NOT using any mods. I play the game as it is.
