Wrong Pedia entry

#1 Post by defaultuser »

Playing 0.4.6 stable.

This used to happen occasionally with the older versions. I try to check the planet suitability, and get a totally irrelevant Pedia entry. In the case shown in the caps below, it's for outpost ships. I had not checked that ship all game. It will keep showing that until I look at another ship entry (probably other Pedia entries as well) after which it seems to be "cleared".

That's weird, it's possibly linked to the production and main pedia page are now linked properly, but beyond that no clue. Anyone?

Agree, that' really weird, because I never encountered this, and it doesn't sound like something that would be platform dependent.

After I "cleared" it, I realized that I should have made a save file before trying anything. Then I could have seen if it was persistent from save. Too late now, and I can't reproduce it.

Occasionally I see a situation where the Pedia gets 'stuck' on an entry and won't display other topics (it's possible this only ever occurs when I try to check planet suitability, I will pay more attention).

If I click the 'up' button at the bottom of the Pedia to reset it back to the top Pedia menu it works again. I'm guessing that's whats happened here.

If I see it again, I will try to make a save and then what you suggest.
