Known Issues for Supreme Ruler 2020

[Balthagor]

The Readme includes the common issues players may encounter but I figured that it would be worth posting a full issues/bug list so that people can check this before starting a new thread. Most of these issues are low priority due to limited game impact.

[Edit 07/15/08 - List now matches Update 2, added unconfirmed issues]
[Edit 09/08/08 - List now matches Update 3, sorry it's taken so long]
[Edit 01/02/09 - updated to latest patch details]

This list of issues requires a big team to make fixes! Or it will take much time in case of a small team...

[Balthagor]

That's 51 things. Update 1 on my 'bugs list' fixed 48 things...

Not saying we can fix them all for update 2, but there are a lot of small items on this list and lots of minor issues.

[Inego]

That's cool!
I believe in you, Battlegoat!
I feel the game is great and worth money I paid for it, and wait for the second update.

[hammer]

I was wondering when will multiplayer saves be available? And the save game issues resolved? Because now its kinda pointless to play multiplayer ... without savegame....

[Balthagor]

We don't make predictions on when certain things will be done, when we do and miss the dates we get yelled at

[hammer]

Yup sorry about that forgot that dates and programmers do not co-exist Still ... great game keep up the good work

[Ahamas]

I know this won't be easy, but like someone already said: THIS IS A GREAT GAME AND GAME CONCEPT. I will continue to invest in this for as long as it takes. Keep up the good work. Thanks for what you've done already.

Peace,

Ahamas

Hi.

I am little curious about the bug - Reloading savegame in some circumstances makes "No Nukes" setting = yes.

With the fix will we be able to turn nuke back on in our games or will we have to start again to have nukes?

Thank you.

[Balthagor]

Until we know what is causing the bug I can't even make a guess at this...

[KcDredd]

Hi, can anyone confirm or deny the bugs i've described here?
http://www.bgforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10412
especially the research issue. Thanks

[Balthagor]

I have not yet had a chance to investigate those bugs, I'm working on a few other areas at the moment.

[KcDredd]

Ok, we will be patient And what about the research, the pop-up window that appears over a queqed research does not show the project effects, there is only blank space where it schould be

[Balthagor]

Some projects have no effects. If the tech has an effect, it is shown, no one has reported a bug there. And we won't be constantly updating the progress of individual bugs, we will work to complete updates and when done we will post the updated and information about what it fixes.

[MichiD]

I believe he means when the research is already in the queue.
Doesn't show the effects for me either.
