In two seperate games, players have designed a ship and started construction. Next turn design is gone and ship is not under construction. Any ideas? Both players have Vista. Both gamea are PBEM. Host has XP.

We were all aware of that saving and then doing turns later problem. So all turns were completed in one sitting.

It may or may not be related, but a couple times now I have facilities fail to upgrade. They give the error 'facility to be upgraded does not exist', and display no Icon in the turns News. Reissueing the Upgrade order will fix it.
Re: Lost Designs
Hi there its a bug? Dont do a manual save on the turn you design any new units or you will loose the designs? Just end turn as normal to save them, Its happened to me and my m8ts before.
Re: Lost Designs
I have talked with both players who had the designs disapear, both use the End Turn button.

Re: Lost Designs
Anyone think this might be something to do with host having XP and other guy haveing Vista?

Re: Lost Designs
Doesn't sound like anythingt to do with Windows. However I don't know what is causing the problem specifically.
Re: Lost Designs
This first shows up after 45,50+ game turns. Two separate games, two different players. As host I have gone into the player’s empire in the first game. I was able to design a unit and ship. I went to next turn and everything was fine. Maybe it is something to do with e-mailing the files. The second game is on hold for now.

Hi there,
I use vista preum and found it more stable with se5 if I set the short cut icon to "service pack 2 Compatibality"
Also another classic loss of ship design comes from hitting the cancel button instead of create? You think you finished it but actualy cancled it?.
Hope this helps
Re: Lost Designs
The designs are actually getting created and are present through the turn. Construction of units and ships is under way. It is the next turn after processing the designs and their construction is gone. It has never happened to me. Playing a third game with an other fried. We are at turn 69, no such problem. Have to check with him on what operating system he is using.

Re: Lost Designs
I can go into the empire of the afected player. Design ships and units,process the turn and they are still there. Did the same with the second game that was having this problem.

Re: Lost Designs
HELP! I’m back with a third game that a player has his designs disappear the next turn. Player not running Vista, not saving turn part way through, not using Design Name List when creating empire. Clicking on End Turn button. That’s three games with three different people with the same anomaly. Any idea what is causing this?

Re: Lost Designs
This happens when a player enters part of their turn, then saves the game, then reloads it later to finish entering their orders.
Taking your turn in one sitting is the only solution I am aware of.
