New encounter drones do not broadcast any messages if the game language is not Eng.

New encounter drones do not broadcast any messages if the game language is set to anything other than English.


Exemple videos :

- Test 1 : game language set to English, broadcast message work

- Test 2 : game language set to French, broadcast message don't work


I think the problem comes from the automatic renaming of unmodified blocks when the game language changes.

The Event Controller doesn't recognize the renamed blocks (in this case, the Broadcast Controller).


See 'Image 1' for the Event Controller menu in English, and 'Image 2' for the same menu in French.

You can see that the actions are correctly configured in Image 1, and grayed out in Image 2.

I think the same problem exists in the case of Factorum's encounter with disarming warheads. Messages do not appear when the language is other than eng.

After some testing, I found that changing the block name is not the cause of the bug.

It seems that the problem comes from the "transmit message X" (1 to 8) actions.

The bug also affects other blocks where you can set actions in, not only Event Controller.

I only tested with the Event Controller, Timer Block, Button Panel, and a Cockpit, but I was able to reproduce the bug each time.


I've attached some images of the tests:

In these images, the "transmit message" action from both a Broadcast Controller and a renamed Broadcast Controller were set in the action bar with the game in English (actions 1 and 2), French (actions 4 and 5), and German (actions 7 and 8).


I changed the game language in the menu before each test.

  • Image 1 shows the game in English: the actions set in English work, but the others do not.
  • Image 2 shows the game in French: the actions set in French work, but the others do not.
  • Image 3 shows the game in German: the actions set in German work, but the others do not.

I also tested what happens if you change the game language directly during gameplay, without returning to the main menu.

You can see the result in image 4, where the game was launched in English and then changed to French. Actions 1 and 2 (set in English) still work, but the others do not.


You can find a build to test the bug at this link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3477187094


The other Broadcast Controller actions like "Send random message" and "Send GPS" seem to work correctly.


This bug seems to affect the Broadcast Controller on all builds, not just in Encounters.

Hello Misha,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

Could you please check in the game’s main menu under Options > Game if the Mute Broadcasts option is enabled? If it is, please disable it, click OK to save the changes, and then check if the issue is resolved. If the option is already disabled, please create a blueprint of your grid, paste it into a new world, and see if the issue still occurs there. If it does, kindly send us the blueprint of your grid along with any steps to reproduce the broadcast message issue, and a screen recording/video showing the issue.

  • You can access your blueprints files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Blueprints. Select the correct folder where your blueprint is saved (local or cloud), zip the file and attach it here.

If you are having difficulty attaching video/screen recording files here, you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Kind Regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department

Русский:

Здравствуйте,

Я долго тестировал, в чём именно проблема — пробовал использовать разные блоки и кнопки, но единственное, что помогло — это смена языка интерфейса игры на английский. Другие языки я не проверял, но, думаю, что проблема проявляется только при использовании не английских языков. Сам я играю на русском языке, и именно на нём у меня возникает данная проблема с трансляцией сообщений.

Ниже прикрепляю ссылку на чертёж в OneDrive:

Буду признателен за дальнейшее расследование.

С уважением,

Миша



English:

Hello,

I tested the issue for quite some time — tried different blocks and buttons, but the only thing that helped was switching the game's interface language to English. I haven’t tested other languages, but I suspect the problem only occurs with non-English languages. I personally play with the Russian language setting, and that’s when I encounter this broadcast message issue.

Below I’m sharing the blueprint link via OneDrive:

I’d appreciate your further investigation into this matter.

Kind regards,

Misha
