Bugs found in v 2.3.03 Beta

1. When attempting to create a Wildcard Factory Plan in the User-defined section, it gives error: ItemRes::operator[]

a) Create a factory
b) Add purchasing unit, but do not specify what will be purchased
c) Click the Layout Plan Library button
d) Click User-defined button
e) Click Add


2. When you click the Load button in the User-created Scripts section and there are no scripts listed, it gives error: Error on File:.\ScriptA.cpp Line: 427

a) Click Custom Game
b) Click Load Script
c) Click User-created Scripts, and it should be empty
d) Click Load


3. Scroll bar on Goals screen doesn't work, so only six goals can be viewed

a) Create a custom game with more than six goals.
b) Click Information Center button
c) Click on Goal
d) Attempt to use scroll bar to view all goals.

On a side note: when I first started playing CapLab, I found that dominating the communication devices and photography markets was impossible. Products became obsolete to where nobody would buy them and therefore you would have a 0% market share on those products and could not dominate that market. Has this been addressed already in a patch or is that still an issue?

I tested it several times and I was able to use the scroll bar to view all goals without any problems. Did this happen to you occasionally or all the time? Did you create the goals using the Goals page on the new game setup menu or using a script?

Thanks for the quick reply! It was all the time and the strange thing was that was the only scroll bar that was having issues. Based on your feedback that it was working for you, I did a clean reinstall on the game and the scroll bar is working for me now.

I had just purchased the game from the website, so had initially installed the 2.0 version from the download link, then I downloaded and installed the 2.3 post-release version and did the 2.3.03 auto-patch. After that, I then uninstalled the 2.0 version, so I'm not sure if any of that caused any goofiness there? This time, I just installed the post-release and did a manual patch. I tried to recreate the issue by testing various settings and was unable to.

Found a bug which causes game to crash when modifying farm production.

To reproduce:

a) Start farm.
b) Start raising sheep and begin manufacturing leather.
c) After manufacturing of leather starts, change sheep to pig.
d) Click change production button. Should still see sheep products at this point.
e) If a day passes while still in change production window, you would expect list to change from sheep products to pig products, but instead game crashes with ItemRes::operator[]
