September 10 2019 Update breaks CQUI

[kecker79]

Describe the bug
Steam pushed the 1.0.0.341 (443561) update and it appears to have broken at least the use of spies. Can't select a mission or move cities. The border of the button turns yellow when I select them but the menu never pops up.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select a spy
2. Click on either "Choose Mission" or "Travel to New City"
3. Menu is not displayed for either option.

Expected behavior
Should see the menu appear to give me either a list of missions or which city to move to.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

General informations

• OS: Windows 10
• Version 1.0.0.341 (443561)
• Expansion Rise and Fall

Can confirm.

Here's what I've noticed:

• Tile yield icons, upon loading, are either on or off, and cannot be toggled.
• Espionage overview screen will not load
• Trade route overview screen will not load
• City names are swapped randomly in trade negotiations
• Upon selecting a trade unit, destinations cannot be sorted by any criteria
• Norwegians have changed in colour from blue to red.

Reverting to 1.0.0.328 solves the issue for me.

Is 328 the June patch revision? How do you revert the September patch in Steam? Didn't think that was possible.

[PacketFiend]

Yes, the June update. I followed this guide:

I think it may have broken the resource display at the top as well, all I see there now is (thermo)nuclear device count, available envoys (which is wrongly displaying zero), and trade unit count (also wrongly displaying zero). The civilopedia and game menu will not open from the icons, either.

@wayneb64 You can get back to the June patch via the betas fairly easily...

This was something the devs added back during the launch of the June patch, and it appears they have kept up wtih it as it is confirmed working for going from the September patch back to the June patch.

I've since dropped CQUI as a mod and installed individual mods to make up most of the functionality. The trade route mod is still broken with the September update, I assume because of the "Beter Trade Route Screen". I assume espionage will be as well but I don't have a game to load where I've reached that tech yet.

@PacketFiend Is there a good list of mods somewhere that make up CQUI's functionality?
The integrated mods like ML and BTS are easy to install, but there's still WASD navigation, resources in the top row, compact great people screen, and many other goodies.

[BlackSmokeDMax]

@alexpolozov I don't think there is a list that will entirely get you up to what CQUI does. I had such a list that got close just after Gathering Storm, I should probably update that collection.

I have not played without CQUI for so long I have forgotten all the things I didn't like about vanilla. Does the base game still have the multiple tabs in the production queue? It really annoyed me to have to click so many things when opening the city view if I want to manage citizens, buy a tile, or build something. Is there a mod that fixes that like CQUI?

I also like all the information on the city header itself which I don't think vanilla provides, is there another mod for that?

Base game doesn't have a production queue

[kecker79]

So did I miss something and this mod is no longer being maintained??

Base game doesn't have a production queue

Vanilla game (base, R&F, and GS) have all had production queues for a while now.

[kecker79]

Okay?? I guess the only times I've not used the CQUI mod I enabled another mod that gave a production queue....apparently that was unnecessary? When did that get added?

I think it was the patch at the same time GS was released. At that time the free patch for all versions had the queue / multi-queue added.

When first released, you had to click the queue button every time you went into the city (perhaps not if there was already multiple items queued, don't quite remember).

Since then, in another patch, they have added another option to the interface section of the options menu where you can have the production queue set to open every time you go into city production.

[wayneb64]

I misspoke when I said vanilla. I should have said 'unmodded' or something like that. What I can't stand in the unmodded UI are the selectors on the city panel at the bottom right and top left:

CQUI shows you citizens without another click or lets you purchase tiles immediately, not forcing yet another click. The queue shows gold, religion, and production costs for all items, not needing another click. You can see citizens just by mousing over the city instead of having to open the panel with CQUI. Yous can see district icons on the city header and unselected worker notification, turns to grow and complete production.

What mod gives you these city features?

I've made changes to the mod's code and made it work for myself again. Here are the changes #407 . Feel free to check if it works for yourself.
