For a complete list, see: - http://bugs.freeciv.org/ - -KNOWN BUGS: -=========== - - - Your CMA settings are only sent to the server when you press - turn done, and therefore changes you make to CMA in the same - turn as you save a game will be lost. - - - The hard AI is not hard enough for very experienced players, and - still does lots of stupid things. - - - Some effects of wonders and research first take effect the turn - after. Fx when building the lighthouse some triremes will only get - the movement bonus the next turn. - - - The Xaw client can only display 25 citizens in the city dialog. - - - In the GTK+ client, sometimes the area near the minimap contains - garbage. - - - Automate routines like auto explore don't handle triremes very well. - - - LOG_DEBUG doesn't work with non-GCC compilers. - - - When setting server variables, the server in many cases doesn't - check the values as well as it could. - - - Bad things happen when you manipulate multiple global worklists - simultaneously. - - - The Xaw client does not work well with the KDE window manager. - Try using the GTK+ client or another window manager. - - - With sufficiently unusual map parameters it is possible for map generation - to fail when the game is started. The server will exit when this - happens. Try using the same parameters again or switching to more - "regular" parameters. - - - In some situations non-ascii text output on the server command line will - be drawn wrong in graphical terminal programs. The problem here is that - the terminal program probably has a separate means of configuring the - character encoding that does not match the $LANG variable. This is a bug - in the configuration (or possibly in the terminal program) and can be - fixed by editing the terminal configuration. In gnome-terminal, for - instance, you can set the encoding through the menus - simply set it to - match the value in your $LANG. - REPORTING A BUG: ================ -(If it is a bug in a translation, it should be mailed to the Primary -Contact for the language.
