Fleet combat game-breaking bug

[Shovey]

Saw the patch notes on the latest update with the happiness changes and I figured finally, conquering the galaxy might actually be possible so I started a new campaign.

Unfortunately in turn 4 I already hit a snag when after sending a fleet to an enemy system one of 2 game-breaking things happens. Either there simply is no combat options, as in it shows the conflict screen in the top middle of the screen with the fleets, but no option on how to engage. No Attack, Flee or Auto buttons. Nothing

Or the other thing that happens is that if you click on Attack or Auto, both buttons will just gray out and once again nothing happens.

This has been happening since then pretty much every single turn I engage a new system. There is no way to fix it other than reload save and try again but even that is temporary. If one fleet won't bug out, another one will.

I've made it almost to turn 50 but no more, this is getting rage inducing.

Hello Shovey!

Would you be so kind and send us your save and logs, please? They can be found here:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Kalla Gameworks\The Pegasus Expedition\

Just upload them to any file-sharing platform (such as Dropbox or WeTransfer) and we'll look into the issue.

Thank you very much!

Hello! Was not expecting for a dev to reply, much appreciated.

Here's the dropbox link, all the saves from my current game where i've been experiencing the issue as well as the player log.

Thank you for sharing them! The link is giving an error, however. Is it possible that those files are set as private?

[Shovey]

Sorry about that, I made a dropbox account specifically for this since I don't use it.

Edit: this link works
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/sqpz63mlkvphgpkhjs650/AFveSmrQpYqjiaF3MlGidvY?rlkey=v1d2nilganii9oifgdu82xbd9&st=68qxbs91&dl=0

Changed who has access to "Anyone with link". I hope it works now.

Edit 2: nope, still can't get it work.

Sadly, it doesn't. Can you, maybe, use the WeTransfer.com then? It's a free service where you simply upload the files and you get a link that you can share here and we'll be able to download them.

Thank you!

I encounter the same bug, it only shows combat preview and no option

The bug is still happening unfortunately - Turn 2, can't end turn, can't fight. Restarted like 4 times already and it keeps happening between turns 2-7.

[redleif]

im having this exact issue, its constant and its making the game unplayable. please fix asap.

Hey FQ_Dom, I'm encountering a very similar problem. Here are my logs on Wetransfer[we.tl] and Dropbox[www.dropbox.com] (same logs, but the free Wetransfer has an expiration)

It seems to usually happen if I move a fleet into an enemy system near the end of the turn. I'll either see the combat options with "flee" as the only selectable one, or I'll see them all enabled and click "fight" but that option will immediately get greyed out and becomes disabled, even if I click out and then click back into it. This also prevents ending my turn, because there are unresolved combats.

I wonder if it has something to do with fleets using up all of their move points(?) and not being able to initiate combat? It only seems to happen if I'm the attacker, I haven't encountered any situation where I don't have the expected combat options when defending a system.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help troubleshoot this!

Actually, looking through the logs, I'm 90% sure the error is related to one of these two exceptions:

KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

Hope that's helpful!

I have the same. I just started game for the first time. It looked cool so far but at maybe 4th or so turn (not sure but this is early game) i moved with 2 last fleets in this turn. I can not end turn as it says I am in 2 conflicts. But i also can not engage as I only see battle preview with no possibility to click anything. This is GAME BREAKING bug. I see problem started like 3 month ago and still no fix??

EDIT. Fortunately loading game again showing icons to attack, will check if this workaround will work :).

It works... but then it happens again, and again, and again... unfortunately :(

[Geralt]

Yea. Game is riddled with these bugs. I hope developers will repair it as you can literally can not play. It destroy experience..

[Masquerine]

This one seems to be fixed now. There are a few other bugs that can occur if you double click on the fight button, or click the fight button when the conflict preview is in battle already. This happens when a ship is sent to start a fight, you quickly hit fight then hit fight again when the battle loads.

The ability to remove the biomass from planets appears to have been taken away. So the related quest to remove them can't be completed now. That and any planets they take are now completely useless.
