Space station contracts bug

[kridershot]

Hi, when I want to select some contracts where says Build a space station and send it somewhere,  the discription says "Test test test test" or "Select a contract" with no more information. Also time when the contract expires shows a XX:XX:XX.. I can take it, but it's hard to cancel because sometimes button just unpressable. Then contract is canceled it takes some money and rep.

Are you running any mods?

Do you have the game on Steam?  If so, there have been update issues with Steam with 1.6.  Try validating the game files.

I can confirm this bug still persist in 1.7.0. Right this type of contract: build a station. Not all station contracts affected, so this is related to contract requirements.

And one more thing - but very important: bug triggered only in non-english localization (i.e. Russian). Switching to English via Steam game properties allow to get contract specs, see example screenshot:

Does anyone know how to fix it without switching to English?

Although this contract did not show properly in Mission Control, it seems all specs displayed correctly in contract list in-fly (right edge button). So, it is possible to save game, get contract, jump to any ship and check contract specs, make a decision. However, this way you did not know contract complete bonuses.

I know it, but I need to know all bonuses of this mission, because I play at 50% income, so I must calculate possible profit)

Anyway, thank you)

Can you narrow it down to a requirement? I downloaded the Russian localization file and ... well I don't speak Russian so I have no clue what I'm looking at. But I wonder if you compare the English file to the Russian file, we could possibly pinpoint the line causing the problem. I suspect maybe a weird character, but when I look at the file ALL of the characters look weird

Could you attach a copy of the saved game, or pm me one?

I'd like to take a look at it, please

@Homster
OK, I just reproduced it. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience
You're new, so I'll take care of it from here and log a bug report for it this morning
For now, I guess your best bet is to not accept that kind of contract until we can get a fix for it.
Oh, and please, please feel free to contact me if you run into any other bugged contracts.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention, and again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Until bugfix, try next: save, take contract, complete it via Alt+F12 "cheat menu", compare your current funds/rep/sci and those you have earlier, revert to saved, go action
