Now in 1.2.1 every notification makes a sound

[MrCAMANDER]

This is awfully annoying, please can we sneak in a patch to disable those sounds until we have a sound checkmark in message options? There is none as of right now.

 

[UBERWASP]

Oh also please add an option to remove the annoying new “No construction” notification on top.

And also an option to remove notifications bubble thingy on top altogether!

And also please bring back no construction que icons version of top construction bar just like the mod.

So in other words, UI wise my response to this 14mb 1.2.1 update is “Thanks but no thanks”

Notifications on top of the screen is the staple since Stellaris tho. Also, there are a lot of people complaining about not being able to see what constructions are being built right now since the dissapearing of icons. I do happy to see them return, but they are too small. I dont have a huge vision problems and playing on 24" monitor, but its a mess of a pixels still.

I understand, that’s why I’m asking for an optinality if that’s a word . I’m asking for giving us the options to choose between.

Fun fact: The sound effects have been in the game for a very long time, they just never triggered due to a bug. Fixing another bug also "fixed" this. I agree that the sound isn't great, especially when you get many Notifications in a row, and we are looking into how to fix it properly.

For 1.2 they will be turned off, and in the long term we might want to re-add them as a setting.

The construction lag is back now that the icons are back... Or it might be something else entirely. I used to be able to run at speed 5 and finish a week, and now it barely gets past 2 days.

Would you mind making this a bug report and attaching your save in this channel? https://discord.com/channels/831406775416782868/1070009142657437766
We have a major revision to the underlying construction code coming into 1.2 but possibly not for the third and likely final beta before release, so I want to test that your issues are resolved with those changes.

No it is better than hiding it in the 'current situation' panel. It is an important enough condition that it deserves to be shown prominently just like 'No Active Research'. I believe with this change is can be removed from the "current situation' panel as it is not needed there.

They should add a right click dismiss action which should keep it away until the condition changes.

Not sure what this means.

I think more should be moved from the 'Current Situation' panel to independent, as you call them, 'notifications bubble thingy'

Even an option to toggle whether a situation appears up top or in the overflow bubble would be nice, in some cases I want to pin a situation when it arises, even if it isn't critical (like a state lacking infrastructure).

Sounds like something that should be in the Openbeta for stability tests

It's okay to have disagreements of course. I only advocate for more options. And also I'll have you know that I just made a mod that removes "No Construction" "No Active Research" and the "Current Situation" panel as a whole all together. Aaahh glorious!
