buggy tech cost scaling after game restart

#1 Post by Jaumito »

FreeOrion v0.4.8_2018-08-23.26f16b0

How to reproduce:

1. start a fresh FreeOrion instance
2. click "Single Player"
3. in the Balance pane, set "Tech Cost Scaling" to, e.g., 8 (4 times the default setting)
4. click "OK" to start the new game
5. add a few tech items to the research queue
6. generate a few turns and check your research progress - you'll notice everything looks OK so far
7. resign the game, DON'T exit FreeOrion
8. create a new game again using the same parameters, Tech Cost Scaling should still be 8
9. add a few tech items to the research queue
10. generate a few turns - you'll now notice that tech costs and research times are quartered: i.e., the game uses the default settings (2) while displaying yours (8)

I haven't checked if the other balance scaling options are affected by this behavior.

I think there is already another thread about this, or perhaps an Issue-- I think there had been a bit of progress in diagnosing the cause, but don't recall if it had been considered fixed yet.

OK then it sounds like this is a related but different problem-- Juanito, please open an Issue for this on GIthub.
