Dear all,
Yes, I think we did something wrong. Of course not intentionally, but I think till the next patch is ready, we should let everyone know about this glitch we're having.
Symptoms: Game hangs, but doesn't crash or report a crash.
Area: Fleet request
To Reproduce: Have only 1 ship requesting for fighters and the ship dies while the request is still alive. You then click approve just after the ship blows up, removing itself completely from the game. The game then hangs.
To avoid this glitch completely, refuse any fighter requests and fill fighters/bombers up manually.
This also applies to single battles where the game can suddenly hang due to the enemy fleets requesting for fighters. Unlike fleets in campaign mode, they actually do try to fulfill the requests.
We're sorry for the glitch and we'll be open about it. This could be one of the reasons why the game sometimes hang for no reason.
Conclusion
We'll expedite a patch but the new AI system will be disabled for now. It should be available right before next year.
We're sorry again for what has happened and we hope to eliminate such incidents in the future.
Regards,
Jeremy
