using cheat command softlocks the game

Post by kingarthur »

if i input the cheat all command while the crafting menu is open the game will lock up and not respond to any controls ingame.

i believe it is due to the crafting menu covering up the victory screen which locks out interaction with the crafting screen but leaves the victory screen uninterruptible as the crafting menu is still the top layer of what the mouse is hiting on clicking.

Thanks for the report however I'm not sure I understand what you're saying...

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Open the crafting menu. While it's open open the console and use the /cheat all command.

In this case where I locked the game it will trigger the victory screen as in pymods its triggered by completing research on a space tech.

I'm unable to reproduce this. /cheat all does not cause the win screen to appear when running without mods. And if I launch a rocket launch while the crafting screen is open the "game finished" dialog appears on top of the crafting screen.

here ive assembled a small test mod to show what i mean. attached here and added to the first message. simply start a new game and then open the crafting menu. after that type /cheat all into the console and it should then unlock all techs and lockup the game as not even escape or enter key will do anything.

REPRO POSITIVE
linux build on 1.1.53 softlocks [v]

steps to rep:
new game and 2 commands
A few ways to escape the doom after it happened:
  • you can die. Works, but uh
  • you can prepare (enque) a cutscene or a saver-script (some delayed script) beforehand, anything works actually, just closing the inventory somehow un-deadlocks it.
YOU CANT EXIT! Escape does not work! Get trapped forebah! (or use the steps above to clean the gui state kappa)

Thanks for the report. The issue was resolved in 1.1.54 (currently experimental). You should be able to see the victory screen and click continue.
