Author Topic:   multiple message bug?

joachim posted 02-16-99 09:57 AM ET
When several enemy units are moved next to one of my units at the same time, I receive one notice that I have an "urgent message" from that enemy for each unit. The message itself only comes up once.

Could you provide a save? I'm not following the problem too clearly. Thanks. [email protected].

I think I can provide a save, tonight when I get home. For now let me see if I can try to elaborate on the problem (whether it's a bug or not I will leave up to you):
Let's say I am not in contact with the Gaians because they have declared vendetta on me. I move a unit next to a stack of their units (or vice versa) and Deirdre decides to tell me how much fun it will be to wipe me off the face of Planet.
What happens is that a dialog box pops up telling me I have an urgent message from the Gaians. I click OK, and then another box pops up with Deirdre's hate mail in it. Sometimes, and I think this happens whenever there are multiple units in Deirdre's stack, I get several copies of the first (urgent message) dialog box. I have to close them all before I see the actual communication.

I've seen this, too. One of Yang's unit stacks came a-calling, and I got FOUR 'urgent message' dialogs from him that had to be dismissed in turn, before I got the message in which he deplored my use of democracy. :-/ This occurred on several different occasions.
