Using Star Traders Elite.
Issue:
Things are not fixed/bought from Star Dock/Exchange.
Examples:
Buying things on the exchange sporadically disappears in all my games. For example, I would buy 30 Waters before a journey only to find out that it didn't go through and my crew is dying. However, the money I spent to buy the Waters does disappear.
The same happens when I repair my ship but when I fly out, it remains unfixed.
Phone:
Verizon Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.
Thanks for looking into this.

not happening on any of my devices ...
but I haven't been able to afford any Galaxy Nexus LOL.
The game works very well in Android OS 4 in software emulation and on devices I have used during product demos and when I had loaner devices.
I was able to get to Level 50 a few times on OS 4 myself, so I am glad to report that the issue you're reporting may be device, install or other software specific.
Can you give me more details about your device, task killers, how you are navigating, if you are getting crashes and so forth. Otherwise I won't be able to assist because your issue appears to be rare and I have no way to contact you.
We have had reports of similar issues on Android 2 and 3, however they have 100% been tracked back to task killers, damaged SD cards or other phone/device issues.
Thanks for posting, I will try to help you if I can.

Thanks for posting, I will try to help you if I can. My Galaxy Nexus has Android version 4.0.2. It's not rooted and most apps I have are pretty vanilla (Netflix, Astro file manager, Facebook, etc). After your last post, I decided to uninstall the game/reboot/reinstall to see if it would fix the problem. Unfortunately it did not but I did see a pattern emerging. After purchasing water, if there were no events before returning to space (ie: meeting another ship), the purchase goes through fine. If I encountered a ship after purchasing items but before leaving for space, then the items are not shown in my inventory even though the game deducts the purchase price from my cash amount. The disappearing inventory also occurs when I hit the back button but the game stays on the same screen shown on the url below. (The game flickers to a new screen but it is the same screen). When this happens, everything I've done on the planet with exception of new contracts is reset. Ships must be refixed, inventory restocked, my character needs to see the doctor again, etc. imageshack.us/photo/my-images/534/screenshot2012012215524.png/It's a small issue in the long run but it makes the game super hard in the beginning when my crew is starving. Thanks again for helping me and creating this really fun/addictive game. By the way I saw on the forums that you're making a Chrome version of this game. Any news on that? ;D |

No progress on the Chrome version, supporting all these Android devices and OS versions and the constant changes from Google consumes all available time.
It sounds like what is happening is that you have multiple instances of a single screen running, which is possible if you are double or triple tapping the buttons in the UI.
Android OS has no defenses against this bug, even in Android OS 4 (I can find the Defect report that was filed on it) and it could cause you to have the game save old copies of the ship or Captain to the database.

Is there a way to avoid this problem? I haven't been able to survive for more than 120 turns due to money shortages. |
