Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

BUG?

Post by Mr.Killer »

When building a station, with all its handicaps, when a turret is loaded into the scheme, on the right site in green print when hoovering your mouse over the items, it shows exactly what weapons and shields are installed. This was working a year ago (been off doing other things) and now it flashes for a millisecond or what and is not visible anymore, very annoying because now to check what weapons are installed on units, you (the player) needs to open every single one of them.
Ps. Computers can make errors, they are made and programmed by error-making humans. :D

With no information, there is nothing that the devs can investigate. As examples only, mention what you have already tried such as verifying your game installation etc. We don't know your game version or modded state, and there's no link to a vanilla save to show the issue happening. The thread title is also pretty uninformative as to what the issue is about and so attract the interest of the right dev(s).

I 'm pretty sure you have seen or been reminded about these Tech Sp requirements before.

You can do this yourself, playing the game and see for yourself in five minutes....

You know what?

I never gonna report a problem again. Maybe leaving the game and it's community for two years instead of one might make the devs see their errors...

No, we can't. This is a complex game and there are often very specific circumstances that trigger a particular problem to arise. Developers can waste hours trying, and failing, to reproduce something that a player claims is easy; time that could be better spent dealing with a report where the requested information has already been provided. We are keen to help, and to solve problems, but we need information to work with.
