Click too fast = Crash every time and other UI issues.

from Elemental Forums

I've been using auto-turn but I'm kinda getting sick of the UI getting dragged away from me while I'm still trying to build improvements or units. If I click at just the wrong time to try build a second unit the game will ctd. Every time. It really needs to allow me to press 'Done' on the build menu before advancing turn.

Also as I use a mage type Sov for most games I'm finding I miss the utility of being able to double-click through spell casting dialogs in the same way other dialogs have been enhanced. But this brings another UI problem, double clicking is badly implemented, the second click always hits whatever is under your cursor when the dialogs close, that's very user unfriendly and sucks to keep track of so you don't make a mistake that costs a reload.

Auto turn is baddd, ummkay?

 

Don't do auto turn.

I agree that is good advice for a play around, but the point is it is a problem in the game that should be addressed for stability reasons (looks real shoddy if you have an autoturn option but it crashes the game all the time).

Disable automated end of turn, as well as select next unit.

What's the point of me clicking a unit to move 2 squares but just as the unit starts moving I'm switched half over the world to next one, so I have to manually move back on map to see what I uncovered.

I don't mind the increased speed of using auto turn and select next unit. I use either option depending on mood and time available for a game. I just wish it worked better.

It works just fine without either enabled. Auto end of turn happens as soon as all your units moved and all towns are building / training. So if you want to build more things in that turn, you can't because of it.

Auto selection is another thing that I don't like and disable because when I move a unit, I want to instantly asses the situation, and not wait until everything moved then go back on map to find each of them and see what they uncovered etc.

 

BUT, optional is good :) So keep the options in, just check em on or off up to your taste peeps.

Derek,

I have been having crashing problems that I have reported. I have been trying to see if I can reproduce the crash or what it was that I was doing to cause my crash is FE and LH. This is it! I can also cause it with unit biulding as well in both FE and LH. I hope this helps in solving my crashing problem.
