Anomaly Discovery No Longer Poping-Up

[IWonByDefault]

Ever since the last update, 2.7 any time my Science Ships discover an anomaly I do not get the pop-up on my screen which allows me to immediately begin research. Instead I now need to manually go and make my Science Ships research them every time, and makes me not only miss some of them for a fair bit of time, but also just wastes time and it inconvenient. I have Event Popups settings turned on, and normal events do still pop up. It is exclusively Anomaly discovers which do not. Is this a bug, or an intended change? Or is there a way to switch it back that I am just simply not seeing?

How is that an improvement? I now need to click the round indicator that comes up at the top, click go to, select the science ship in that system, right click, and click research anomaly. Rather than having it show on my screen as a full pop-up, and click research.

Yeah this is extremely annoying.


Before the patch:

1x click on research


After the patch:

1x don't miss the notification

1x click the notification

1x click on research

1x right-click to dismiss notification (so you don't triple-check them)



Biggest issue is that the audio sample does not play most of the time, because there usually are other simultaneous notifications, and the anomaly seems to have the lowest priority. Like if the anomaly is found on the last planet in a system, you only hear "system survey complete" but never "anomaly found".

At the very least, the unsurveyed anomalies need a distinct notification icon, and an audio cue you can't miss.

You don't need to click "go to" or assign the ship manually. Clicking the notification is identical to the old pop-up. It also queues several anomalies found by the same scientist, in case you missed the first ones. It won't block the "research" button though.

Ah, I guess that saves a few clicks. Still a very stupid change. Thanks though.

Good, I'm glad they are at least aware that it was a mistake. Looking forward to it being reverted. Thanks for informing me.

I'm going to necro an old post but i'm still not getting Anomaly pop ups on 2.7.2 - Is this the case for everyone else?

I do get them as I was used to from the past, 2.7.2 as well.
Notification pop ups are turned on in the options?
