Hmm? Savegames have no dependency on language.

I thought I had seen a thread about this here in the forum, also using the English version, but I can’t find it anymore.

You mean the same issue has already been reported here?

Would the savegame still help you anyway? I’m unable to reproduce the error.

If it cannot be reproduced, no.

So you purchased the current build, but it never got completed, for several turns?

I'm asking because it is possible that a build will not progress due to certain scripted events, namely terrorism related events, and Religious Holiday, etc. But it's only for the turn that the event is triggered.

Then I would like to apologize. I thought the savegames were not compatible with each other lanuage. Savegame is for the CombatEngine version.

And yeah. I think i saw this issue in a another thread but i could be wrong too...

It only concerns the Sol system. I noticed that the upgrade for the replicator factories did not continue over several rounds, so I purchased it to test it. Unfortunately, I saved the game again or rather overwrote the savegame right after buying it. Since then, the upgrade process has not completed for serval turns.

That's an odd issue, yes. Not sure what caused it.
If you want to continue that game, you should probably load a save from before the build being purchased.

The colonizer AI in the Combat Engine version really needs to be updated (to the latest version), it has some serious shortcomings

New patch.

Check out the new Dominion GCM and insignia (finally!), sorry it took so long. Thanks ktegate! Now we only need a new one for the Feds (and the Ferengi while at it )
And the new atmospheres for arctic planets. Thanks geordie!
Includes some more support for localization (but not fully complete yet). Will upload the german translation as soon as Cyba makes it available (with latest changes). Thanks Cyba!
A few bug fixes.

Feedback is welcome!

It was a long break after my last repeatable error. But shit happens . The error is connected to the shipyard at Cepheus (55,58).
There is a Vulcan Surveyor being repaired there, but in fact the repairment was completed 2 turns ago and the same ship has just been destroyed at sector (59,58) - see the last sitrep. I supposed I have moved that ship before the end of its repairs.
To continue the game I can only leave that slot untouched.
If I add another ships to be built in other slots of that shipyard or remove the surveyor the game crashes.

Fixed these. I still need to check why the UI was not updated though.
Do you have a save a few turns earlier, before moving the ship while repairing? It would save me the time to find a save with a ship being repaired, for testing.


Meanwhile, I've found and fixed another issue, related to ships taking damage from an attack on a shipyard.

I have one from turn 258.
In fact I used that one to continue the game just a moment ago. The repair was somehow corrupted even then, but I was able to remove the ship at the shipyard slot and start it again.

Do you have an idea of what happened to make the ship lose the repair order (and the repair project not being cancelled) ?

No, I have no idea. I suppose I noticed that the ship was not marked as 'being repaired' and therefore I moved it to another sector for further research.
