[1.0] [BUG] Research Problem

from Elemental Forums


I just downloaded 1.0 last night and have been playing since then. My issue is this: Once I got into the game quite a bit and a lot of the research was completed I

would select a new research and when it finished it would give me a message saying that the research was complete but then when I go into the research screen

and look, the one I just researched will not be highlighted as finished and the benefits of the research wont be available either. I tried researching again, researching

something else, and saving-quitting-restarting-reloading and nothing works. I cant get past this bug and I was wondering if I was the only one having this issue?

Thanks for your feedback in advance!

If the research is named "Refine XXX", where XXX is agriculture, production, education, diplomacy, defence or attack, it is an infinite research option. Meaning you will get the bonus every time you research this tech. Therefore you cannot "complete" this tech.

The same mechanic is also found in Civilization and other 4X-games, where you have reasearch.

Its ok, we have asked for the UI to reflect this since early beta... (I think), since its not clear enough :P
it is stated in the description for most of them though.

We did change it before release so that the tooltip shows this.

I need flashy lights and shiny buttons.

My thought was still changing the square around the research itself to reflect its special, but as I said it IS included in SOME descriptions.
