cancel war declaration - saved game bug

[Spocks-cuddly-tribble]

Hi guys,

when declaring war (tested vs minor race), saving game, re-loading & canceling the war declaration the whole game is messed up.

Not even the quit game button works anymore.

Any hints/solutions to the issue?

that is strange, I used F5 to get to diplomacy screen and was able to cancel declare war order and continue. (by clicking "cancel" + "send" + "cancel")

but before that it acts like it has no mouse click input....

Yeah, strange one.

Just loading a game with a pending war declaration vs an empire causes the same glitch.

IIRC even if you 'unlock' the GUI, a save might maintain hidded corruptions that can screw the game over in later turns.

Might be a glitch in 4C9060 UI_declareWarTreaty.

And back in my files I found another reference to this bug over here:

I don't know if it would be of any use now, but here's the save-game for my Cardassian campaign at the time the mouse bug appeared:

Here is the re-uploaded sample:

game0.sav

(304.02 KiB) Downloaded 4 times

That save was saved with BOPL1.2b, but still loads with BOPL1.2c.
(Note, with BOPL1.2c it crashes when you try to progress turn, but that's irrelevant to the reported bug)

UE reports:
Error: in ordInfo: Cardassian DIPLOMACY order 3295626 war declaration missed the action. (fixed)
