Summary0000920: Galaxy map blank when starting a new game
DescriptionWhen exiting a game and starting a new one the galaxy map (where you choose a homeworld) is drawn without text or ship graphics.

This only seems to happen after I've been playing a while; if I start a game then immediately exit and start a new one the galaxy map is drawn perfectly.

Can you look in your RuntimeData folder and see if there are any error files? I suspect there would be.

I have the same problem, my UnhandledErrors.txt is qualitatively the same.

Was the ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt the same for you too?

No entries in ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt for this session.

Ok, I tried to reproduce this, both by rapidly starting games and quitting, and by letting a game play out for a bit over an hour and then going into the lobby for a new game. No errors (well, there were the guardians that wandered in, but that's another thing).

Do you know of any way of actually reproducing the error, or is it really hit and miss?

Well, both times it's happened I'd been playing for at least 2 hours but that's really the only thing the two games had in common. I'll try to pay more attention next time it happens.

Also my ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt is probably not related.

Okay, I played a few more games and this bug happened every single time (with a similar UnhandledErrors.txt), so I've no idea why it's not happening for you keith.

I'm using both Expansions, along with all the Minor Factions and AI plots enabled if that helps. I also I checked some other menus when this bug popped up and the galaxy map seems to be the only thing affected.

I tested again for about an hour and a half and had no problems when going back to the lobby.

To clarify, what you're saying is:

1) It happens every time you play at least 2 hours (or something like that), quit, and go to the lobby.
2) It does not happen any time you start a game, quit immediately, and go back to the lobby.
3) It's not actually a "blank" map in that it does draw the planets and the lines between them, but no text or ship icons.

Right?

Thanks,
Keith

Thanks!

* Fixed a rare bug that could cause the lobby to draw without the planets actually showing, while throwing a lot of exceptions, upon the second or third run of the program (but not always!). This seems to only have happened if the players were viewing the galaxy map when they exited out of the game, and possibly only if they were hovering over a plant at the time.
