I can confirm the advanced battle screen bug as well. On the bright side, the stuttering in the late game seems better for me, but I did not get a chance to get through 100 turns tonight...

Hello,

Do you remember more or less what the message was about ?

Ryski, Belho, hera35,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you please post the Diagnostics file where the error occured? Look for it in the Documents / Endless Space 2 / Temporary files folder. 

Edit : removed the AI probable cause, it could be something else.

Thanks

Hey sorry for the late reply, this should be the right diagnostics.

I've also encountered another weird bug where I got infinite diplomacy notifications from the Horatio. It only lasted one turn but it basically just kept spamming me with the same message. Unfortunately I didn't have plays tv running so I didn't manage to capture it. As soon as I hit end turn the issue went away.

I can't even get into the basic ground battle with Watch off. Permanently breaks the savegame and requires a re-load and foregoing the attack. Sad that this game is so broken, or it'd actually be amazing.

Looking good but I have to ask; is the final Academy quest in-game yet? Post cut-scene?



0% of all people online via steam have the achievement yet, so are we missing a final step, or?

I am wondering this too.

I have discovered and colonized the Academy system. I am nearing the 100th turn. Still no Academy quest :s

These are great changes! Thank you!
