Two Bugs 5.1.26 Release...

[JerryK440]

Two Bugs 5.1.26 Release with all three DLC's loaded and no mod.

First: Game will not allow building on a road at the edge of the map. Says there is no road.

Second: R&D Center doing Product R&D with the COO/CTO having no control over R&D Projects, they still adjust the amount of time the research is being done. For example, at the beginning of the game, the R&D center is researching Television for 2 years. When project is complete the duration is suddenly changed automatically to 5 years. It appears that they adjust to the number of years to get the tech to 100+. Another R&D Center is researching CPU, but after completion the tech is 68, so it doesn't modify that ones duration. (On a game with the RealWorld 11.23 Mod, all the centers are being adjusted to 10 years from 1 or 2. Grrrr....)

Edit: The Product R&D doesn't notify me when its completed, which makes the changing duration so much worse. By the time I notice that it was changed, months have gone by. Tech R&D and Software seems to work fine, and notifies me fine. Its just the Product R&D.

We have got the R&D bug fixed. Please download the new patch v5.3.01 from: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4768

That's cool, except that patch is for the Beta version, not the Release version. Any chance to get it fixed in the Released version?

[David]

We have integrated the bug fix into the latest Release patch v5.1.27, which you may download from:

Thank you! For my style of play, it made the game pretty much unplayable.

[JerryK440]

It's progress. It did not change all the duration's for the R&D, but it still didn't tell me the research was done. So I still have to go through each to check the loyalty numbers, instead of looking at only the new completed ones. The Tech R&D and the Software notify me just fine.

I just tested it and I did get a notification when the R&D is completed. Please see the attached screenshot.

You may send me your save game file and I will look into it and see why you didn't get a notification.

[JerryK440]

Still happening sometimes. Emailed link to my game and mod files.

There are a couple other comments in the email.

Thanks

I think I sent the wrong save game file, but that one still shows the lack of notifications for many of the R&D centers. I play at speed 5, so you can recreate it.

In the email I mentioned that the AI product quality was listed as too high on Desktop Computer, but it was Notebook Computer.

This is from further along in the game, and unless I'm missing something, shouldn't the quality be 30, rather than 50? (Edit: Apparently I am an idiot. I didn't realize City Economic has adjustments to quality. I only enabled it for the extra cities. *sigh* )
