I don't recall any bug with 0 population and construction...

There's an auto-colonization amount of 1M...

I had a colonizer over a planet, told it to colonize a different planet in the system and the colonizer took every last person off the first planet to colonize the 2nd...

Yeah, the safety 1M population feature has not yet been applied to SE:V.

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports - Video Issues
 
Tried a larger combat in the simulator of the demo:
two empires with each about 20 dreadnoughts and a carrier with about 140 large fighter.
The fighters were launched and proceeded the ships.
When the two fughter groups opened fire the game froze.
I waited for more than 15 minutes but nothing happend.
I had to restart the computer, not even the task manager could be activated!
Athlon 64 3400+, 512MB RAM, Nividia GeForce FX 5500, Windows XP Home.
I have to add that until this I had absolutely no technical problems with the demo. Therefore I think it is just the number of units that killed the combat, but 280 fighters seems not that much to me.

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports - Video Issues
 
The problem here is that all the fighters are trying to launch at once and ignoring the supposed fighter bay launch rates... it doesn't always result in a lock-up - but often does.

Sometimes this randomally happens because the file is so large. If you close and restart it will be ok.

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports
 
Has there been any concrete indication that MM is fixing these and all the other numerous bugs and the UI before the final version is released?

I'm a bit bummed becuase my dissappointment in SEV has been growing, comensurate with all the hope I had for it in the build up to it's release. Really looking for some omen or sign from above that Aaron is interested in fixing the game to make it playable etc. before release.

Tks,

AMF

Concrete? There has been at least one beta build since the demo. No idea what it fixed or added.

Non-concrete? Check out the SE4 history.txt sometime.

Repeated this in strategic combat: In the beginning everthing proceeded apparently normal and the combat lasted till 00:12:16:1272. Then the game froze again like in the tactical combat.
If this happens in the full game and in regular combat situations, the game will not be playable for me.

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports - Video Issues
 
I have had many crashes in the SE:V demo. 95% of them seem to occur at the end of strategic combat. This is so annoying to me that I select tactical and just let it run on auto at max speed, which doesn't crash. This totally needs to get fixed for multiplayer games.

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports - Video Issues
 
Not sure if these have been mentioned before:

When I change orders for a ship that has run out of movement, often it moves a free hex... seems to happen when the direction of the order changes, mostly noticing it when I redirect a colonizer.

The highlight options on the expanded minimap are totally screwy... enemy systems and my systems highlight the same... and there doesn't seem to be a way to claim a system, or see system others have claimed.

There doesn't seem to be an option to 'remember' enemy colonies in the Fog of War... even though there is a remember enemy ships option in the data files. This is more annoying since you can determine if a colony is still there by trying to send a colonize order to a FOWed planet.
