.70 Production Queue Refresh problem

from GalCiv3 Forums

Running .70 on Windows 7, playing as Terran

In my production queue, both on a planet and on a shipyard, sometimes the UI doesn't refresh.

For example, on Earth, I had double clicked on Hyperion Supply System to start that project.  Nothing appeared to happen.  Double clicked again, nothing happened.  Canceled Economic Stimulus.  Nothing happened--still looked like Economic Stimulus was the only thing being built.

Closed out of the Earth planetary screen, and on my planet list on the right side, it said Earth was building Hyperion Supply system.  Went back into the planetary screen, and the Economic Stimulus had been canceled too.

 

So it looks like my commands were being taken, but the screen wasn't refreshing.  This hasn't happened before Beta 4.

Same thing  happens in shipyards sometimes.  Try to add/cancel certain ship types and it appears that nothing happens until you exit and re-enter it.

I've noticed this too, and it seems to me that it is caused by attempting to build something while a ship is moving. If you move a ship and select a planet/shipyard before it has used all its moves (or arrived at its destination), the queue won't update.

Moved to support and noted for the devs.  Thanks.

I just got this bug this morning, first time playing Yor (though it's my third savegame in Beta4).  As far as bugs go, this one's pretty tolerable.  Worst outcome is that I notice it and have to reopen the UI.

I think you're right.  I experimented with this and it does seem that the queue only doesn't refresh if I go into a queue screen with a moving ship.  Raynman, do you still need a savefile, or are these steps to duplicate enough?

Those reproduction steps were perfect and I was able to see it as well. Many thanks! :)
