1.0.4.5 Investigate Ship Bug

[jrhines@comcast.net]

Loaded up the new patch, started a new game. Everything was working fine until one of my Explorer ships found an abandoned ship, the message popped up asking if I wanted to investigate or ignore. When I click on investigate the popup message goes away, but the game is paused, so I click the un-pause, I see the scrolling message rollup that matches the popup and then the same popup message appears. The only way to get out of this loop is to click ignore or leave ship alone option. I then tried to send a combat ship to the same location and ask it to investigate the ship and the same thing happened. At that point I just destroyed ship.

do you happen to have a savegame with that broken derelict ship? they could probably really use it.

if so you should upload it based on these instructions: tm.asp?m=2415085

I'm having this bug in 1.0.4.9. I think it happens when pirates are disabled. The game probably still assigns the pirate events to ruins and derelicts but they can't trigger because pirates are disabled.
