[Alpha 2] Clairvoyance Research Decision Bug

I have been playing as the Nova and have come across a bug with the Clairvoyance ability.

I unlocked and used the Clairvoyance ability to fully reveal two sectors early on. I then encountered a couple of bugs:

1. None of the standard notifications were provided about the sectors I fully revealed.
2. A "Research Decision" replaced the end turn button. The typical notification/icon about the discovery did not appear on the right. According to the decision, I had discovered Neutronium. After making my selection, the "Research Decision" button would not disappear. Clicking on it again revealed the same decision. I was unable to proceed and end the turn because it would not move past this decision.

I saved the game. I exited to the menu and reloaded my game. After a reload, all of the notifications for the revealed sectors popped up. I also found I had discovered TWO unique resources, Neutronium and Helium-3. I was able to make both decisions and proceed to the next turn.

Not a showstopper, but certainly a bug that could occur often when this is unlocked early on (easy to do if your first scan is your home system). I am not sure if the issue was with the notifications not popping up or the fact that I found two unique resources during the the two reveals.

Let me know if you want the save, although the issue is resolved when it is loaded.

 

I should have kept that save shouldn't I?

I have the save from turn 9 right after I used clairvoyance, but I don't think I have the one from the turn before. I will see if I have a manual save from an earlier turn. I could determine the coordinates from the notifications if needed. I will upload the turn 9 save for you at the very least later today.

 

Glad to hear you may have figured it out. Just in case it is a different issue, here is my follow-up.

Well, I don't have a save before turn 9 when this occurred. The attached save is the result of me saving the game right after the issue occurred (same turn). Exiting the menu and loading this save resolved the issue.

I believe sectors A3, B2, and B4 were all explored this turn. A3 finished, unlocking Clairvoyance, which I then used to reveal B2 and B4 which is where the strategic resources were discovered. Note I also have the Astronomy Culture perk providing me 2 remote explorations.

Here is a screenshot showing me making the Neutronium Research Decision. Note in the lower right that the discovery icon did not appear, nor did any of the information revealed about the planets, nor the decision regarding Helium-3. Clicking either "Choose" option here closed the window, but the "Research Decision" overtaking the End Turn button would not go away. Clicking it just took me back to the same decision shown.

 

If I load the save, I get the same result you've shown. All of the notifications appear on the right. I am unable to reproduce the original issue with the save either.

The save was taken at the time the bug occurred. That is also when my screenshot was taken, before exiting and loading. Whatever caused the issue does not persist when the game is loaded, so the results you are seeing are expected.

 

Fantastic! Great to hear!
