Bug Reports and Technical Issues
- Thread starter Leoreth
- Start date
Your previous save already had the bug in it (no matter what I did I received two free techs). Is that the case here too? That's not very helpful in fixing the original bug that's causing this. I'd rather have instructions on how to cause it.
Noticed when playing from 3000AD> 1580 dutch, this message showing about Bhopal in India. Now I saw it was 1540 and Iran appear at 1500, so likely happened in 1500-1540?
Looks related to the hindu wonder that gives food for religious buildings?
EDIT: Progress stopped at 1540, no crash it just doesn't continue and stays at 1540. Had to ALT-F4.

Too bad, you could have canceled the autoplay window with escape and then saved. However, the game should have created an autosave for you. Do you still have it? Alternately, the autosave from the first turn of the game?

This save has the bug. It's the same bug with a different effect. You can cause it with the exact same method as last time. All that changed is that you have to end the turn to get the second tech. Your fix seemed to have pushed the acquisition of the second tech off to the following turn.

Strange. It's pretty consistent on my end. The shift and enter buttons skip turns rapidly.If you hold them into a turn that you get a new tech on and continue holding through the tech pop up the turn will skip to the next before you can select a free tech. You'll then be able to select a free tech, and the next turn after that you get a second free tech.
NOTE: The tech pop up is the thing with the name of the tech you just got, what it unlocks, etc. You want to release after that disappears but before the select a tech dialogue opens.
I am fixing bugs first, balance later. Those two things aren't really related.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that I deliberately made the Babylonian UHV unwinnable or that I deliberately introduced an exploit that I didn't know about until a few days ago to address this problem.
If that's the case, yes. I made the UHV unwinnable to spite you and every Babylonian player personally. And of course I always address balance problems with random glitches that I can't even use myself.

No I understand the desire to fix bugs first and address balance concerns in a bugless environment. I was asking if this fix will be followed sooner or later with balancing to make their UHV playable, or if the next major version will be released with Babylonia being unwinnable?
EDIT: Wow. What happened when I wrote that? How did something so polite end up so aggressive? Sorry.

I'm not going to address this immediately, because balance related issues take some time for me to play it myself and then assess what the best solution is, especially in the context of a first to discover goal (I could change the requirements, change the tech modifier of either Babylonia or the competing civs, or change the AIs tech preferences). So I'll probably push it back a bit and take care of genuine bugs and small changes first, also so that my backlog is cleared a bit more. But of course I won't release 1.16 before it's possible to complete the UHV.

I've updated the mod since then so no idea, but if I remember correctly I tried to load the save on win7 and it worked perfectly so yes that was wine-only. But since then I found out that the bug (or at least the python error complaining about collapsed/newly spawned civs) can also happen on windows, albeit it's extremely rare. After playing dozens of games, I've only encountered it once: I was playing with the English, and after an Indian collapse the game crashed. I couldn't get a save before that turn, but I did save the game exactly in that turn (basically that means you open the save and after a bit of loading the game crashes). I'm not sure if you can do anything with it, I'll upload it anyways.
And another bug that I've encountered (while playing on Windows 7) is that after my capital has reached a really high amount of culture, it became a NEGATIVE. I think it's around 200k, I've uploaded that save, too. Megara is my capital in Australia, around Melbourne. Maybe it's because I'm playing on marathon?
I'm playing on commit d5656fe194b17619b5a8f196c3c19406d6300ea6, btw.
Sorry, disregard this debug message. My conditions for unexpected behaviour were too narrow, I think that situation was fine. I'll update the check soon.
