Don't work Campaigns in the DLC Crusade

from Stardock Forums

When you set's DLC "Crusade", you will only available Campaign's "Tutorial" and "Milky Way". In others campaign you will not be able to play, as they are not adapted to the new gameplay. On planets always the "Maximum population" = 0, and the population will decrease, tending to 0. In such a situation to play in the Campaign is impossible. You can only play the modes "New game", "Quick game", in "Tutorial" and in the Campaign of the Milky Way.

Thank god I found this post - I can confirm this is indeed happening. I'm a new player and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. By the way this is imo something that needs addressing ASAP or I'm afraid there will be lots of newcomers dropping the game.

I can tell you that the developers are aware of the problem.  I can't tell you when it might be fixed.

Good to hear they know about this. I wonder how something so big could be overlooked. On my end I lost maybe half an hour of gameplay before heading to the forums (I played a custom game before that, so I realized 0 pop was weird). On the other end I can't imagine the disappointment of a new player who simply thought the campaign would be a good starting point (seems very likely to me)

I'm also glad I found this one ... was thinking I forgot how to play the game ...

Also when every tile on a planet is build, you can't let the planet work on something. You can't end the turn ...

I'm curious - How can you tell the devs are aware of it? Are you in contact with some of them or is there some sort of bug centralization site/post I'm not aware of? I saw a bunch of individual bug reports but not for this one in particular. What's the best place to look for this kind of information?

Too bad you had to go that far. I feel for you but at least you did get blocked at some point rather than letting you go indefinitely with crap pop.

 

I really wish this gets fixed soon as I'd like to play some sort of storyline rather than custom games.

I was one of the beta testers and am on the Discord chat with (some) of the developers.  The beta testers on that chat can see a bug list and bug report channel and see developers' responses.  If you join the chat you can also talk directly to Frogboy (when he's on it) although I'm not sure you'd be able to see all the chat channels (I have to admit I don't know how access to those channels are controlled).
