[Bug] Back to space complex goes to start menu bug diagnosis

Post by DZA »

I encounter the bug when you press back to space complex button and go instead to main menu
Then have to reload save. This was happening every time after playing a turn and managing programs etc.

I then realised that as I was getting more used to the game, I had started ignoring the proceed button.
This is the button that you press following end turn when you get your R&D results and not pressing proceed and instead going straight into the programs manager.

As soon as I pressed the proceed button every time after ending turn I no longer encounter the bug going back to main menu.

So assume this could be quite easily fixed by preventing you moving into programs manager unless you press proceed.

Hope this helps.

Hello DZA,

Welcome to the SPM forums! [:)]

Thanks for the report. When you say "going straight into the programs manager", do you mean clicking the "folder" icon located at the bottom bar?

Yes that's correct, so end turn. Get research results (avoiding pressing the big proceed button) going directly to folders straight into one of the management folders at the bottom. e.g. astronauts, scientists, etc. Then once you want to go back to space complex it then exits you to main menu when you press that button.

Why would I do such a thing. Because ending turn refreshes the crews already etc. So any returning from university are ready to be put to work. In reality I should not be able to enter folders until after I have seen the research and then proceeded to news. Then I should see refreshed folders and be able to access them. At least that what makes logical sense to me.

So probably I am doing something here that is not intended [:)]

Hello DZA,

Thanks for your reply. Are you running the latest version of the game (it should be 0.7.19.4 at the time of this writing)? Notice that the issue you mentioned had been reported already and it was fixed in 0.7.19, which was released a couple of weeks ago.

That's strange it says version 07.18 (May 12th 2014).

I used the update SPM and it tells me I have the latest version.

Right, yes. Apologies for the confusion. Some patches are released via the auto-updater tool whereas some others are uploaded to an FTP and you need to install them manually (it's an exe installer, so it's a very straightforward process anyway). We do this because creating the patches for the auto-updater tool is something that can only be done by the Matrix Games guys and it's a bit time-consuming, so we cannot do it very often.

Notice that I always create a thread in the forums every time a new version is available (either through the auto-updater tool or as a manual patch in the FTP). This is the link to the thread. We have another patch coming up this Friday.
