Retribution: Disappearing notifications

April 8, 2019 5:31:56 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

In my current, quite advanced (turn 354) Retribution game I have the problem that the notifications in the upper left corner disappear partly when the screen is updated with other information. The list is genrated, but then flickers while other parts of the screen are rendered, and in the end I see only some notification and not all. That is especially annoying if the "There are xx foreign ships in your territory without open borders permission" message is missing since I then cannot click on it to circle through all the spotted potentially hostile ships in my area.

Have you tried verifying your game files since this bug started popping up for you? If not give it a shot and see if it fixes the issue.

If anyone else is having this issue I'd appreciate them chiming in too.

Verified game files, reloaded 4 damaged files, still happening. If my observations are correct it happens (especially? only? sometimes?) when additional windows are displayed at the end of a turn (GNN, messages from other civs, warnings about government having a too low colony limit and the like).

Has this happened with any other games? Please upload the save game showing this issue and it also helps to know your specs.

I've noticed this also, although I've not tried to narrow down the cause or figure out why it's happening..

As far as I remember it happens also in other games.

lyssailcor: Thank you for providing these. I'll add them to our list and hopefully a fix can be included in the next patch.

Hi,

Did you ever find a fix for this?

I've been playing on and off for a while now, on both steam and Epic and this is still the most annoying thing  in the game.

Especially when at war on larger maps it can be a real nightmare - the only way to force messages to reappear is to save and re-load each turn...

The notifications have never worked properly. They are haphazard at best.
