Beta 7 Offworld Freeze

from Offworld Forums

all offworlds freeze and stop sending, no reason given. Also crushing my record breaking daily run  8(|

Building construction stopped too, a lot of other things presumeably also.

The freeze starts at around 22:00.

Well that was weird. Looked like it hit the A.I. too. Time was 23:20, just a bit before the day 8 auction for anyone who wants to take a look.

you mean day 9 auction :P

 

yeah, it happened as an offworld for the AI finished, the very second an AI attempted to queue up a send, I doubt it's a coincedence.

Offworlds are really annoying in the current build. The queuing is weird. Maybe I just failed to figure it all out, but it's annoying and not intuitive at all.

Also I experienced some odd freezes several times. In today's daily challenge for example, at one point everything stopped producing, Unfortunately, I lost the replay. :( Hadn't noticed multiple replays were saved and thought I made a mess (Huge thanks for this welcome change!  And lesson learned - don't test new builds at 4AM ). 

In another game, though, Wino and I used no advanced sabotage auction. CO came up for auction and after he used it on me, tiles that got hit were frozen for a very long time.

auto queing works by shift clicking the button. A * will appear next to the price and it will automatically que up that send when an offworld finishes a send or comes out of construction.

I know that. The problem is when you try to cancel shipment to switch to other resource - weird stuff happens.

I'm getting very annoyed with the perpetual mouseover information, this time it is the upgrade button. It can also be a building construction button or the stock ticker info.

 

edit: I think I've reported this issue before weeks ago and obviously it still exists.

Or patent.

I checked in a fix to try to address the stuck tooltip. It's not a full fix, but if a tooltip "sticks" it should fix itself if you go back into the thing you were mousing over and exit it again.

I've not been able to get a reliable repro for the tooltip bug which is why it's been languishing for so long. Hopefully this will help alleviate the problem until I can fully understand what's going on.
