This may be a downside to patch 1.7, however, when loading a saved game from a previous version the game gets really wonky. Here are some examples...
- When selecting a star base que, it seems to add the requested constructors to every shipyard in my empire, no matter which one is the sponsor. Edit: if I have it set to auto.
- Ship yards do not allow me to change the sponsor. Edit: not an issue never clicked on manual ID10T error on my part for not watching the dev stream first.
- As soon as I completed my research project, the game froze for a good two minutes with constant sound of placing something in que for that whole two minutes.
- Once the turn finally completed the "please wait while game is saving" bar remained on the top of the screen, forever....
- When destroying buildings on a planet there was a 5-10 second delay for the building to disappear... Edit: this appears related to me not waiting long enough for the auto save to save the game, which takes forever. Edit2: This has no relation to the auto save, this is just something that is happening with the new system, the auto save message remains on the screen, however, when checking the actual file it appears to be done saving in the usual amount of time.
Okay that's my saved game experience, to this point with edits after I watched the dev stream.
