NOT A BUG: Locking of production sliders disappear after reload

Locking of production sliders disappear after reload

Have'nt seen this one on any other thread, so I put it here.

When I have locked the position of the production sliders, saved and reopened the game, the locks are gone. The sliders are in the same postition as I left them, but I have to lock them again.

v 1.05b, no mods.

Not sure if this counts as a bug, but it is rather annoying.

Not a bug, enhancement. Was like that in EU II too

 

[GrimReaper]

Ok.

Well it is a viable enhancement of course

enhancement???

Well, how about the option to keep them locked if you would prefer? I have been surprized by this one a few times.

Usually when I have to restart my PC due to the memory leak in the game.

It would be nice but I don't find it too much trouble to re-lock them immediately on reloading. It becomes automatic after a while.

I always relock them as well, however there is one problem.
I generally have my CG slider locked to get the lowest possible CG to keep dissent at 0.
Then when I reload, my CG slider is in the red, and even with the + - buttons I end up having to waste a little bit because I can't get it as close as it was before.

Or if I am reducing dissent I set it at the lowest level I can to get a certain % daily reduction (usually 0.02 or 0.03). But when I reload, it may be at a slightly lower percentage, and I will be getting a lower daily reduction. This is much worse because I may not notice the % daily reduction and it is a pain to go back and forth to the production sliders to get them to the right sopt (since you have to exit the screen to see the new daily change).

I still think it's a good enhancement and I'll treat it as such

I wished that they would have a button to lock the sliders at the bare min. It doesn't make any sense for you to be able to adjust the sliders by 0.1 bits, then have them jump all over the place when you try to double click on them to lock them. There should be a simple "lock" button to the right of the slider....very aggrevating.

What version are you running? You know you can right-click to lock them instead of double-clicking for at least 3 patches now (always read those readme files). It would be nice to have a 'lock to minimum requirement' button as well since even with the +/- buttons added in a patch you can only change allocations by 0.1% which can be more than a full IC for major well-developed nations (mostly USA, Ger, Sov).
