STAR FLEET II - Krellan Commander Version 2.0Ship doesn't move bug(9 posts)(9 posts)

Hello, I have run into a bug where after I set a course through the Nav map my ship undocks from a star fort, I am wished good hunting by said star fort, and then my ship doesn't move. The sub light bar moves to .1 and only moves further if I press arrows or other keys on my keyboard but the ship never moves.

I haven't been able to reproduce it 100% of the time but I have noticed it happens on mission start after I launch probes into neighboring star systems without leaving the starting starforts dock (so the probes get automatically resupplied). After I have launched the probes and I give the move order like normal the bug happens where my ship doesn't move, I get all the normal dialog however. I have tried emergency stopping, the ship does move to a stop but I can't even manually navigate after the bug happens, setting a course through nav or system map doesn't fix it either.

Every time I get this bug I have to restart the game. I have completed the first 2 missions successfully by moving out of the starbase before I launch probes in order to avoid the bug.

Huh, this sounds like a bug we thought we fixed. If it happens again, can you try something for me and report back?

Next time it happens, hit CTRL-V or CTRL-Q to save your game and let me know if it stays stuck or resumes moving as normal.

Thank you for reporting this and for any further help you can provide.

Hey, I haven't been able to reproduce this on my end. Have you had any luck?

I have not yet but also haven't had much time to play. I will hopefully have some time later tonight, I had it happen to me a bunch yesterday, I ended up reinstalling the game after the update which, along with not launching probes right away, allowed me to beat the first 2 missions.

Congrats on finishing your first two missions, Altern! ;) Looking forward to seeing if you can replicate the problem!

I got the bug again trying mission 3, I launched 2 probes before leaving the star base then tried to jump to a F class star. Hitting CTRL-Q did nothing but CTRL-V making a new save file did make the game continue properly.

Thank you, I will pass this on.

This is an old bug that is caused by a "feature" of a standard C library call. I removed all these calls from the game a couple years ago and this bug has never reappeared until now. However, when I put in debug statements I sometimes use this C function because it is convenient. It appears that I must have missed one of these debug statements, so I'll search my code. You have narrowed down the possible location because of where it occurs for you.
