Special Projects

[king_djoser]

I'm brand new to Stellaris and started my first game last night.

I'm not sure if I have a bug or if I'm not understanding something.

So far I have attempted 2 Special projects and both times the project completes ( the voice guy says "special project complete" and the project is removed from my situation log)...but I get no completion pop-up and nothing at all happens!

Is there some sort of hidden failure %age where nothing happens or am I missing something?

The two projects were:
1) Investigate dimensional portal on planet
2) Study Mummy-like alien race to try and communicate

When the project completes, you should get an event telling you the results. Is it possible you mistook those for unrelated random events?

Thanks I was sure there was supposed to be a pop-up. I actually saved the game right before a 3rd special project is supposed to complete just to check to see what was going on. I reloaded the save about a dozen times and got zero events to trigger off this new event. I get the event complete audio and it disappears from the log...but I get no event window at all.

I guess my save game is bugged?!

The event will typically take a few days to appear after project completion. Make sure the game runs for a couple of weeks further before decalring it broken.
