Annoying to suddenly find I can't research anything along the tourism path.

Tourism? Are you using a mod?

Oh, sorry, I see this is discussed in a different thread.

Yeah, I should've come back in here. Yes, Tourism was part of a MOD. Turns out it WAS my alignment - I didn't realize there were specific numbers within neutrality/good/evil where various techs could pop in or not!

Still, what's with the morality string not found thing under some alien civilizations? And why the audio woes I suffer from? *points at audio thread*

Is anyone ever going to fix that stupid display problem in the game save list where it displays the time as 17:0:5 instead of 17:00:05? It is quite annoying....and should be a 5 minute fix.

Cheating AI!

I always thought the UPA vote to limit Starbase modules was inane: 2, 4, 6 (or was it 8). Well the Altarians are the influence leader and what they vote for is what happens. They vote for two modules. Now I see some strategic value. So why are the Altarians building constructort like there's no tommorow, and building adjacent to my resources and planets. Now they clutter the map running constructors from base to base... with one exception...
No matter how I try, I am not allowed to expand my starbases. While the AI is not successfull for every constructor, some get through. In multiple cases some of the Altarian bases are now fully loaded, including terror stars!

I can't stand cheaters. This game is trashed and won't make it to the Metaverse.

ctrl-clicking to select a group of ships is still kinda broken, there's no way to un-select the group once you've selected them. clicking another ship doesn't select it but rather leaves the current group selection as your focus. the only way to clear the focus is to left-click a planet.

Here's a related selection bug. Select a ship or starbase. Now select a ship that is docked (select planet, select ship). Now click on the ship name in the ship info section and you will get the non-docked ship or starbase name although the ship info section properly reflects the docked ship.

And now for a very, very, very old bug, and maybe a new one.

I'm paying tribute and so check the economic detail to find I'm paying 4799220864 bc / month.

I've been checking this screen from time to time because I find it hard to believe I'm getting the tribute that is owed me. While the tribute being paid to me seems to be properly displayed, the balance next to the government spending slider didn't change. Where's my money?

Yeah I've been getting CTD's and lockups. I never let these bother me, not even one a night. Got one last night, a lock up. This after reloading a save whose next turn is the UPA vote. This is a common save point for me. When I clicked the turn button the game froze. Is this crash related to some random UPA event?

Note: I moved both "RestrictMods" issues to a "Bad" folder.

It just happened again. Either there is a problem with removing the "RestrictMods" issues or there's a problem with another UPA issue.

What version of Gal Civ are you currently using? If you're using 1.21, the new save game format saves the data files that were there when the game was created.  So moving the UP issues shouldn't have done anything.  If you want to send me your save game, I can try to figure out what's going on.  In the meantime, you might want to check out the sticky thread about troubleshooting sound problems and crashes.
