Minister Bug

Submitted by The Fett on Mon, 2008-04-07 08:56. Space Empires V Multiplayer

Me and a bud tried to play a lan game the other day. I was the host, it was a simultaneous and different computer game with one other AI player, but randomly my friend's orders would be changed as if an AI took over. Now I've read that this is known as the minister bug where the ai minister would take over a human player's empire randomly. We're using version 1.08. Has this been fixed in the later patches or is there some way around this?

Are all you minister settings turned off in your Empire screen.

Yup they are, yet the AI will randomly take over my friends orders. For example, he would order a ship to go through a warp point but after processing the turn the ship would be ordered to go the opposite direction and explore some other system that's on the other side of the quadrant. It's weird and extremely frustrating. Also, the research points would keep changing from what my friend wanted them to be. So say he put 100% into researching gas colonization, after the turn it would be spent on other things. I hope this has been fixed because this is a great turn based game if we could get it to work right.

You should really be running the latest patch, which is v1.71. They are hosts of bugs in the early versions that have been long ago patched.

In theory, the AI would only be playing if the player's turn file was not used or
missing. When you process as host, is the second player's turn file listed as present?

Not sure in v1.08 if the minister setting "AI Should Play in Player's Absence" exists, but you can uncheck that setting, which would at least prevent the AI from doing anything.

Thanks, we'll try again and look for the minister setting and try the newest updates.
