BUG REPORT: Can´t pick nation in 3.2.0 QT Client in Linux

Post by leo.priori »

Hello Guys

BUG REPORT:

I tried to access the bug tracker, but the site isn't working for me, so I'm reporting the issue here.

After compiling the 3.2.0 Qt Client using Linux Lite (Ubuntu LTS), I tried to select a nation, but the window freezes and doesn't update the information on the right side, such as the city style and the leader's name. The only option that works is selecting "Random."

After some investigation, I discovered that the following functions in the client/gui-qt/dialogs.cpp file were altered:

style_selected

nation_selected

group_selected

The second parameter was removed from these function definitions, but it was not removed from the function calls on lines 543, 548, and 559 of dialogs.cpp.

After fixing this issue and recompiling (by removing the second parameter from the function calls), the game now works correctly, allowing me to choose a nation and start the game.

Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

I can confirm this happens in the Windows version as well. I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Can someone post here the solution? I can try to incorporate the change and recompile the code.
