>>> BETA 4C <<<

Please post bug reports here.

Great job guys! I noticed that the GNN quarterly reports don't recognize that I changed my rulers name from the default.

I uninstalled Beta4b and installed Beta4c. Playing as the Thalians, when I brought up the Starport window to build a ship, I saw a list of ships with names like "1 Korx" and "10 Yor". Unfortunately the Alt-tab bug is not completely fixed, so I lost the game and cannot get a screenshot. When I started another new game the odd ship list was gone, and now I only see the ships I should see. Perhaps on the uninstall saved ship designs didn't get deleted. I did forget to check the box to delete saved games.

BTW, the Thalian home planet in my new game is class 15. The history.txt posted above led me to believe it would be class 10. Don't know if this is a bug or not.

- String Not Found when you lose a planet to a successfull invasion

- You can disband AI fleets

Nice job on the Civilization Manager! That list of planets is going to be very useful.

First UPC event pops up, the vote is on establishing a public center with information about its rulings. The last sentence, "For 2 years this center will grace one of the chosen races... planets" has 3 garbage characters following "races".

On the UPC event I just mentioned, after I had voted, the Korx, who were shown on the left, were shown to have voted for themselves. The Yor, who were shown on the top, had no indication as to how they had cast their vote. The area beneath the number of votes they had stayed blank - where the same area for the Korx showed what their vote was. Don't know if that's a bug, seems likely though.

game crashed after UPC voting was done and clicked on the done button on the lower right hand corner

My second UPC event was the Galactic Prison. This time after voting neither the Korx nor the Yor showed how they voted.

Post edited: I see that the history.txt posted above says that the votes and pie charts aren't in yet, so that probably explains what I'm seeing. My apologies for missing that.

The GNN Post Research discription (as in, what you see after you research something) for traid says:

"Lets face it, people want to guy our stuff".


Remember that spellcheck dosent look for illogical sentances.

Throughout my testing of Beta4b, whenever I researched a new government type I was presented with a popup asking if I wanted to change to the new government. In Beta4c I just managed to research Interstellar Republic, but did not get the popup prompt to change my government type. With the morale of my home planet plummeting to 38%, perhaps the game knew better than I whether to switch or not

FWIW, I can now confirm that the problem with loading a saved game changing your party to Industrialist, with elections that you "win" costing you party benefits, is fixed.

While setting up a game all races are still Federalists.

I'm still not sure whether economic starbases actually increase military and social production yet. I built one and enhanced it with Smart Drones but the planet detail windows for the planets in its sphere of influence still show "No starbase bonus".

The only thing so far that sticks out is that the Starbase Fortification branch of the tech tree was only partially fixed. Fortification is now correctly spelled but there are still two IVs and only the first tech is correctly identified as Starbase Fortification and the rest are misidentified as Starship Fortification techs.

On one machine, that I've had problems with before, I keep getting X77e538b2 errors, even after uninstalling/reinstalling.
This happens when I see the main menu on screen. For the moment I've given up on that one, as on my other machine (IBM Thinkpad T40p) everyting works fine.

bug - on starting a new game, when you toggle the spheres of influence on the minimap, all spheres are displayed.
bug - the spheres of influence still do not appear correctly on the minimap when you zoom from 100 to 200.
This seems to happen on the top 1/3 of the map (large map, 2 rows out of 6)
typo - there's a mismatch between TITANITUM armor and the TITANIUM armor module that you then get.
typo - many of the typos mentioned for the tech tree (singer, etc.) are still present, probably not too high on the priority list

The GNN quarterly report thinks my race is human even though it isn't.

Should the custom race get a random logistics enhancement?  Bet that is coming...

Thanks.

uglycow: all AI players are randomly given a political party once you start the game, according to Cari.

jmgarth: The planet details UI does not list the bonuses, but if you look at the main colony management window before and after you've added some production boosting modules, you will notice an increase in the amount of social / military production points you are producing.

Noghanimus: (referring to your first bug) that is an intended feature, according to Cari.

jmgarth & civ3fan: When you guys are getting crashes and weirdness on the United Planets window, what race are you playing as, and are all the races in the game discovered?

You should definatly be seeing what item they vote for, so if this happens again could you take a screenshot and email it to scott@stardock.com? And if it crashes, can you make a not of what U.P. Law was being voted on and let me know when it crashed?  Thanks guys!

BoogieMac: I was playing as the Thalians, and the Korx and Yor were the only two other races in the game, both of them had been discovered. Unfortunately in a few minutes I'm heading out of town for a week so won't be able to send you a screenshot. I'll be away from GC2 for a week

UP session came up and we were voting on whether the Arceans should shell out 2% of their income to everybody else... the only problem was, the Arceans were not apart of the UP, so they didnt get to vote.

1) not a bug - can we have edge scrolling on the mini map (how do others re-focus the mini map centrally when its off the edge?

2) Description text in module upgrade options (down the left list) in ship design over-runs
