Hey I think I found two bugs in 1.91 but its only on my pbw games (It could be all simotanious games but I dont play them that much outside of pbw)

1.The computer will create random ship designs even if I dont have the design minister on (when I first noticed this I thought someone ran one of my turns)
2.Political Messages, when I get a messege sometimes it says I have responded to the message when I haven't.

Both of these are not actually bugs, they are how the game was designed to function. The AI plays any empire for which there was no valid .plr file. You can change this in the Ministers window, which is located in the Empire Status window (crown icon). There is a setting at the bottom used to disable the AI for your empire in simultaneous movement games (aka PBW) when you miss turns.

But i never missed a turn ever

Have you asked the game host or PBW admins to check if it was an invalid plr file that you uploaded?

From my experience this frequently happens mostly due to players uploading a previous turn file - especially those who like saving all their previous .plr files, which pbw does already anyway.

Ok that might of happened, and that makes sense I think I had sent a message the previous turn when. I might not of downloaded the turn thinking I did

Any more bugs?

some very nit-picky annoyances... bugs? I dunno, you decide.

- When shift-clicking multiple ships, the "Sentry" button won't light up. However if you then release the Shift key and click on a single one of the previously selected ships, the Sentry button does light up. And then if you click the Sentry button, it puts the entire list of ships that you originally shift-clicked on sentry orders. Wierd.

- If a spaceyard on "emergency build" finishes building, it will still accumulate time on emergency build. There is no warning log entry to alert you to this fact.

- if you build a unit but have no cargo room to store it, the unit will attempt to get built, you will be charged for its resources, no actual unit will appear, (you do get a log entry about no storage) but the build queue won't be cleared and if nothing is done, the planet will attempt to do this same thing all over again.

- [edit] one more that is most frustrating. the AI pathing routine is terrible. Many times I have seen a troop transport fail to capture an undefended planet because it can't figure out how to get around a moon or maybe even a couple of ships in your own fleet.

Slick.
