Missing time display during fabricator hack
« on: October 04, 2014, 06:43:20 pm »
Hi there,

I just noticed that when I'm trying to hack a fabricator by placing the corresponding Fabricator Hacker the display with the remaining time and the AI response message in the upper left corner disappear after a few seconds. The hack itself is still progressing, though (it sometimes glitches back when you place another hacker, but then it just disappears again)

Am I missing something or is that a bug?

(I'm using the Linux build v8.014 without expansions)

I don't think you are missing something but the display is. On OSX the display will continue to show until the Fabricator hack is completed.

So, it's probably a Linux specific bug then. Ok, guess I'll be sending them a bug report...

The game I've been playing on the weekend involved a substantial amount of fabricator hacking and while I wasn't specifically looking for this issue I'm fairly sure I didn't miss this.

It'll happen on Windows; I see it sometimes.  On Windows, at least, it'll only happen if you switch away from the planet where the hack is occurring.
