1.3.1 [f100] Retreating Science ship while combat ALWAYS crashes the game

[KopiG]

So if your science ship gets into combat and you try to emergency FTL it out the game ALWAYS crashes. Need urgent fix for this please!

 

[AlphaAsh]

Can confirm this one. Had no luck tracking down a possible cause in the soft-code however.

 

[KopiG]

This is a huge issue. They reduced the emergency FTL to a matter of days but ironically you MUST LET your science ship die else the game just crashes. Oh the irony

 

[Jones944]

I get this one too. Playing on Ubuntu 16.04.

 

[Lamahorse]

Yes, I've discovered this bug. Quite infuriating.

Every time I emergency escape, crash.

 

[berkeleyboi]

Yep, I got this bug too.

 

[Frostwood]

that's what happened to my game.

 

[Tuttu]

I can also unfortunately confirm it.

 

[Stafful]

I get the crash too, but it crashes if I'm even just watching the combat. Usually just as combat with my science ship initiates.

 

[Lazerus Artificial]

We have the same issue, but we narrowed it down a bit.

For us ONLY the client crashes. In Solo and as Host in Multiplayer it works. Only the Client crashes in multiplayer

Its something to do with science ships being missing in action. I had the exact same crash when i tried to get a science ship home that got stranded due to one of my wormhole stations disappearing from ai border expansion. The jump starts and the ship gets the missing in action state, then the game crashes.

Same issue for me, however if retreat pressed on galaxy map, crash does not happen.

 

[Almond_Brown]

Sent in 2 crash reports. Both were Science ship based crashes. Have not tried retreat from Galaxy Map. Will test asap, as losing L4-L5 scientists to prevent a crash is a real bummer.

It does happen, but not with every Fight.

Once it happened in a Fight, it will continue to happen in that fight no mater how often you reload (it may be nessesary that the "in fight" state is saved). Only way around is to loose that ship.

But in dozen other fights I have retreated my Science Ship and no crash happened.

Same issue, Confirmed.

 

[Rectangular Chicken]

I can confirm this bug, running on Windows 10. Very frustrating! Hopefully this is fixed by the next patch.

have the same problem, but it seems to only happen when i actually go to observe the fight, if i just let it escape automatically it didn't creash

So I'm not crazy. I had one science ship using emergency FTL by itself when I wasn't looking at it and it didn't CTD.

Not crazy. Seem them jump out myself.
I guess "Evade" stance does now include automatic Emergency FTL. If the ship lives that long, that is. With the shortered Emergency FTL time for Civili ships, a really nice change.

 

[Malecord]

I confirm both the issue and the workaround: if you don't focus the ship there is no crash.
