CapLab Patch 1.989 is now available

Figure this is as good of a place as any to post what might be possible bugs in 1.989

1. I had to alt tab to my desktop to open up Fraps so that I could take a screen shot of bug number 2 below, but when I returned to CapLab and tried to open up the trade technology window, I saw this instead:

As you see above, only the corners of the buy tech from AI players is visible, and there is no amount of clicking I can do to bring up the correct window.

2. I chose to try to buy tech of bed, and gold ring from different AI players, eventually found somebody to sell it to me, however I now find out that I did not buy bed and gold ring, I bought air conditioners and something else. I swear that I chose beds and gold rings. Either the game THINKS that I'm trading for air conditioners and the other tech, or it reset it self after a failed atempt to buy tech which it should not do.

I'm telling you for fact that I set to buy bed and gold ring technology, but as seen in the info window near bottom of screen it tells me I bought air conditioners and glass.

I'm pretty sure the hidden buy tech screen was caused by using Alt + Tab. It's quite common behaviour for full screen tasks to fail to redraw the images after returning.

I did some testing on buying technologies and I can't reproduce your error. Can you reproduce it if you start from a clean 1.980 install and update it to 1.989?

DISREGARD THIS INDIVIDUAL BUG REPORT, IT WAS MY MISTAKE.

I thought I was supplying the silver necklaces to my warehouse but apparently I wasn't. So when I went to buy from that warehouse it said it was coming from an AI player which didn't make sense to me since I was sure I was making the necklaces but turns out I wasn't, so it's not a bug. The rest of the ones reported however still seem like bugs to me.

I was product from the supplier window, right as I did, the supplier window didn't disappear, instead it went behind my retail store window as seen as such:

Sorry for the large images, I figured that this forum would resize them like every other forum that i use.

But once returned, and choosing the same option more than once it should actually draw the window. I could understand if I had a window open and after alt-Tab if that window were to be screwy, but upon clicking the option again it should redraw properly when the entire screen gets refreshed, or at least the entire screen should be getting refreshed when a need such as this arises IMHO.

I know I've seen this reported in past versions but I don't know if it's not important enough for them to fix, or if they've not actually seen the posting about it so I post it here, it is annoying.

citybuilder, do you have a savegame of this ? pls post it.

Never mind, it WAS my mistake

I thought that I was the company producing the silver necklaces for my warehouse but somehow it turns out to be the Blue AI that was selling to my warehouse. Herp-a-derp on my part.

The other bugs still stand though..

Tried to buy gold ring and bed tech, bought glass and air conditioners.

Try to use the buy tech window after an alt tab but it won't show up, even after trying multiple times, only an reload of the save fixes it.

And that supplier window getting pushed behind the retail shop window for an unknown reason right after clicking on the produce that I wanted to put in my store.
