☎️ Bug Report / Help Service Thread
This thread will list all currently known bugs. If you find a new bug please let me know here.

Currently known bugs: 0

Guide: READ THIS BEFORE POSTING HERE - more than 90 % chance that this will solve your issues:

1. MOD LOAD ORDER:

1.1. make sure ACG is at the bottom of your mod list (only let mods be loaded after ACG when i mentioned that it's necessary like f.e. for compatibility patches or submods of ACG)

1.2. i recommend to use Z...A mod loading order i.e. REVERSE alphabetical order for all other mods

1.3. If the mods have just been updated, double check your mod load order - the launcher sometimes puts newly updated mods at the TOP of your mod list, messing up the load order and breaking your game.


2. CORRECT MOD VERSION

make sure to use the correct mod version of ACG (and all other mods) by comparing the file size in paradox mod launcher with the file size shown on the workshop mod-page. if file sizes divert from each other then you know your mod has not been updated correctly

3. HOW TO RESET/UPDATE ACG OR OTHER MODS CORRECTLY

3.1. ACG
delete this entire folder from your PC: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990\2012803646 and then unsubscribe and resubscribe to ACG. Verify that Steam is downloading the mod, and then try to run again. You may have to repeat this step a few times to get it working. This is a common problem with Steam and can't be fixed by mod authors

3.2. OTHER MODS
go to steam mod workshop page and click on the "share" button => then you will get the link of the mod ID f.e. 2012803646 for ACG
=> then you know you need to delete this entire folder from your PC: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990\ mod ID

examples:

ACG: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990\2012803646
ACG Icons UI Addition: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990\2222668755
...


4. DO NOT USE INCOMPATIBLE MODS!
ONLY USE MODS THAT ARE MENTIONED AS COMPATIBLE IN THE COMPATIBLE MODS LIST OF ACG

Guide: If you experience crashes/freezes/other bugs

0. Please upload and post screenshots of your paradox mod launcher
... showing all the mods you are using including the file size+mod loading order so i can check them

1. Please answer the following questions:

a) did the crash happen randomly or did the crash happen always at the same point when you reloaded the game? (randomly / certain point)

b) did the crash happen in galaxy view (where you see hyperlanes, empire borders, systems) or did the crash happen in system view (where you see ships, planets, stations, ..)? (galaxy view / system view)

c) if the crash happened in system view - did the crash happen while you watched a space battle in system view? (yes/no)

d) if your freeze/crash happened during a space battle - which ships have been involved? corvettes, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, carriers, dreadnoughts, titans, colossus, fallen empire ships, unbidden ships, scourge ships, .. other crisis or event ships?

e) have you been using any mods that are not marked as compatible in the compatibility thread? if so, which mods did you use?


2. go to documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/logs/error.log => upload that file and send me the link or send me the file via discord (you can find me at the stellaris modding den link of the main page or simply chat with me directly: Ajey#4935 )

3. go to documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/settings.txt => upload that file and send me the link or send me the file via discord (you can find me at the stellaris modding den link of the main page or simply chat with me directly: Ajey#4935 )

5. The information provided was not enough or could not solve your problem?

Then please try this Link to the Paradox Wiki and common mod installation problems[stellaris.paradoxwikis.com] and if this does not solve your problem as well then feel free to post your question in this thread

Trade Policy has some incorrect text. Like trade_policy_growth_dev. I'm attached a screenshot.

This is an issue with only Aesthetic Cinematic Gameplay loaded, with the Stellaris my documents folder erased and fresh.

@AerosolNinja

i did not overwrite any trade policy description/localisation file. are you loading a save game that was created with incompatible mods or mods that you do not use anymore? i did not even encounter those additional trade policies in vanilla before i think? are those from another mod? please post a full list of all the mods you were using for your save game - no matter if you still use them => it may be enough if you just used a mod for the save game one time and then disabled it again

Okay so somehow this is vanilla for me, without any mods. I figured it was your mod after narrowing it down to the last one active. I apologize and sorry for bothering you. Not sure what the heck is happening.
Ajey  [developer] Apr 26, 2020 @ 11:39pm 
np. i hope it's getting fixed soon :)
I've narrowed this down the ACG, doesn't happen on vanilla or with any other mods. When ever a day ticks forward an ass load of blank notifcation menus pop up making the game unplayable. Its not a conflict with any other mods as this happens even when its the only one enabled.

@Creme Cheese
interesting. what kind of notification menus? ACG did not add any notification menu but maybe i am misunderstanding what you mean? also i am not experiencing any such issues that you described so i am even more confused about it but i will try my best to help you.

can you please follow steps 2) and 3) that i posted as initial thread: i.e. upload the files i asked for? thanks in advance :)

PS: feel free to add me in steam and write me directly for faster and maybe more convenient help. alternatively you can also write me in discord (you can find me in the discord stellaris modding den server as "Ajey"

@Ajey The pop up looks like this https://i.redd.it/7ete2dhjhp221.jpg
100 of them pop up each time a day ticks like a said the moment you unpause the game. From what I've read it can be caused by an event error. Im not sure if anyone else has been having a problem with this. I've installed aesthetic cinematic graphics with no issues how ever aesthetic cinematic gameplay is makes my game unplayable..
Ajey  [developer] May 28, 2020 @ 12:49pm 
thanks for that screenshot! but i would really need you to upload the error.log file
you can find it here:
documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/logs/error.log

PS: maybe you want to add me for chatting with me directly via steam chat or write in discord => so i will be able to help you faster

PPS: your screenshot does not look like ACG is enabled => your system should be bigger and your orbit lines should not be visible as well unless you used an addon mod that i provided for ACG. So either you let another mod overwrite ACG and did not place ACG in the right position or it is an incompatibility with another mod or ACG is not loading for you correctly... in either case i can help you better if we continue the chat via discord or steam chat like i said before :)

PPPS: i just tested a new game with like same prescripted empire like you chose for your screenshot unless you modified it and everything is working out fine on my end. so most likely this is not caused by ACG having issues itself but rather by not loading the mod correctly or another incompatibility.. but i can't help you unless i get more information

@Creme Cheese

I have the same error. It is caused by the Ruler Level System mod.
Ajey  [developer] May 28, 2020 @ 11:58pm 
@Gatzek

thanks for verifying that :)

I am only using mods listed as compatible with ACG.

---
Bug 1:
There appears to be an issue with Strike Bow of Dreadnoughts. I am unable to fit 2 M type guns on the ship properly.

Bug 2:
The game keeps auto generating designs even though I have the option toggle off.
Only happens from Dreadnought and up

@Sierra

interesting i will investigate this. thanks for reporting here :)
Ajey  [developer] Jun 2, 2020 @ 3:51am 
@Sierra (part 2)

investigated both of your bugs:

i can verify that you are right about the strike bow of dreadnoughts. it seems one M slot can't be equipped properly. i will fix this asap. i just fixed it and uploaded an update for ACG

regarding your auto generating ship designs of dreadnoughts and up => i could not verify that bug. dreadnoughts and titans etc. are working fine for me => if i disable auto generating ship designs and save my own ship design then that ship design stays available. can you maybe check again and save your own ship designs? apart from that i never encountered such a bug so it's really strange. are you using any incompatible mods or mods that are not listed with the list of compatible mods? especially mods that change the interface or add new ship classes?

The named amoeba you can randomly get has a speed of 36, making it take a ridiculous amount of time to get anywhere. Not sure about the upgraded version, but the base one is way too slow. Think you could fix/buff that?

Re: Bug 2


With Auto-generate Designs turned off, I've found that any Dreadnought and + ships will still generate auto designs even if you delete them unless you save a manual design after saving your first manual design.
