Bug in 1.41

Thanks MRH, guess it's not my game only. Did you notice this in any earlier Versions? I've always let the map generate after I click begin.

I decided to try a game like that, after learning the benefits, and was using my unique tech mod. There is about a 20% chance of any planet being unique. After 50 turns no player, out of 15, had found a unique planet anywhere. This sound like a bug to me.

Did some further testing and it appears to be related to generating a map. I started 10 games as an ancient race. 5 games I generated a map before clicking begin game and 5 games I did not generate a map. Every game I generated the map there were zero special planets. Every game I did not generate the map for I had special planets. Can anyone else confirm this? I am using a heavily modded Version.

Ahhh. All warp points in my game ARE connected, but I believe that I did click 'generate map' before starting the game.

Guess this would be a bug. How do you report it, send an e-mail to MM or will one of the beta testers do it?

This is a new bug. I did not have this problem with 1.35.

I just got an all new error:

"Object ID is zero in Delete_Object (C:\myvb\se4\pgms\PhaseLog.pas, line 321)"

This occured during the turn execution of a simultaneous 1.41 game. Has anyone else seen this one? I sent a note to MM.

Can anyone else confirm that you can't add ships to a fleet in the simulator in v1.41? I even did a clean install from the CD and upgraded but get the same failure. This is working in v1.30, and I think in v1.35 but I blew that away to re-install.

In the Simulator, create new fleet and when you try to add a ship or use the "add all" button the fleet name vanishes.

Yup, that's what happens to me too.

Workaround: use an existing fleet, THAT works. Make one if need be..
