Well that's frustrating, I'll pass it along, again!

Best would be to share a save file of it. Can you come on discord and provide the save from %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Saves ? Just drag and drop it in the gc4-commons channel. Else you can use your preferred file sharing service to give it here. Else if you want to destroy that harvester, open the console with ~ or the key you have setup for it in the keybinds (check the settings for those), and type: hotkeys. Then select the faulty harvester and press CTRL-F4. That wil
I made a mod to fix this one temporarily. Sadly it will only work on a new game. Look for BugFix_UP_MissingSpecialActiontrueIsSpecialAction in the UP Bundle of Mods V4.0.06 at https://www.galciv4.com/mods/manager . Just put it into %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Mods and make sure mods are enable in the launcher.
It would be very helpful to have the save file yes. You can share it over on discord, or using one of your preferred file sharing services.
The button shouldn't disappears no. That sounds like a bug to me. I reproduced it here in a test game; it should be showing in the new ability panels but it doesn't and tries to put it at the top. I'll pass it along to the team!
Glad you got it working!! ;)
That's really strange. I'm unable to reproduce this. Auto work as expected over here. Did you try to rename your %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\ folder and let the game recreate it fresh ? You can then move the save games, and the other stuff back into the new folder. See if that fixes it for you. If not, can you share a save file with your preferred file sharing service or on Discord. Thank you!
You're welcome! Yeah this new patch has a LOT of new stuff in it and it changes some of the underlying systems quite a bit making save compatibility much more easily handle by giving access to the old build. Glad you guys are successful at using it. :)
The new version of the game that came out today is not compatible with older save. Thankfully you can go in the Beta tab of the Steam settings for GC4 and select build v3.3 which should allow you to finish your game. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1357210/discussions/0/585055827813078711/
The test version shouldn't require you to buy the DLC to get access to v4.0. Are you saying it hasn't been updated to v4.0 yet ? If so, you'll probably have to wait tomorrow for it to show up over there. Do you see the Test Version in your Epic Library ?
Thx for the report! Gonna pass it along ;)
Glad you figured it out! And thank you for letting us know what was the issues. This could help out other gamers running into the same problem. ;)
What did you use to unpack the .faction file ?
This is really strange. Having the game installed on another SSD is fine, that should not cause any issue. Do you see anymore error message in debug.err found in %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\ that could give more clues as what is happening ? Else, from what you're describing everything seems to be as it should, so let's try something a bit deeper to make sure you PC and Windows installation is not the problem. In an Elevated Command Prompt (in r
Is it on OneDrive or some equivalent ? Another idea would be the %username%, is it using some kind of strange character specific to your language ?
Rename it and let the game recreate it, see if that helps!
The GC IV data folder is found at %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\ Do you see any reasons why on your system that folder would be inaccessible ?
That's clever! So doing that you can play with the other tech trees with your custom civ ? You could lock the .faction file down so it cannot be overwritten as another work around I would think.
Indeed, it's a known issue and the devs are aware. Thank you for bringing it to light again! If you want to experience the custom tech tree I would suggest to play with the vanilla civilization that uses them, that is the Nyx or the New Terrans.
And if you end the turns that doesn't fix it ? If so, can you share a save file showcasing this ? You can find them in %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Saves and share them over on discord at https://discord.gg/galciv or using your preferred file sharing method.
Ahh, yeah. Once all the territory is revealed does the flickering stops ?
That's strange. First time someone reports something like this. What do you mean by "using the exploration treaty" ?
Hiya, What do you mean by "open the map" ? What "map" key are you referring too ? Did you try renaming %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\ and letting the game recreate it at launch ?
Thx for the report. It's a known issue but I'll bring it up again to the team.
