ToA -- Tech Brokering does not work

I can not do any tech brokering any more. It does not matter if the Disable tech brokering is check off or not.

I started 2 games as terran. One game have the disable tech brokering check off. The other game have the disable tech brokering clear. In both games, the techs that I got from trading do not show up in the trading screen.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Fired up a game and am seeing it as well.

You're not alone.  :)

Well it was definitely working in the beta.

Bear in mind that with D.T.B. unchecked (that is, techs can be traded freely even if those holding them didn't research them originally) it's entirely possible that the other civs are beating you to the punch.

That's easy to check; just look at the techs we have in common view on the diplomacy screen.

But I highly doubt that a couple of Cakewalk AIs are going to beat me to the punch on anything, really.

Agreed that it was working properly in the beta.  Not sure what happened there.

I loaded an old game from the beta and it works there, so it's possible that starting a new game in 2.0 disregards that setting and leaves you stuck with a game where tech brokering isn't working as it should.

Of course, that's just a theory.

I would agree that it's probably disregarding the setting, but game saves are version-specific; although they may work, after a fashion, in another version, they derive the bulk of their mechanics from the version they were started in.

Meant to edit the above in case it wasn't obvious, but it seems to be-it's easily testable with a tough to suicidal teammate and a bunch of cakewalk AIs.

Gah...We'll start up a fresh game and try to reproduce it on our end.

Fixed.  Not sure how/when the logic error was introduced.
