What difficulty level are you playing on? On higher difficulties the AI gets a large bonus to moves, which would allow them to "appear from nowhere".

It looks like the fix to enable the Play for 5 Hours achievement doesn't work if you've already played more than 5 hours. Hopefully it works for new players.

Are you playing at a screen resolution higher than 1920x1080? Just curious.

I saw this exact same problem starting immediately after the update, and reported it on Discord. I think it's getting some developer attention.

Reply to I defeated an enemy and the game abruptly ended saying I was defeated in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv4 Forums

Is it possible that when you defeated the Drengin, it left the Slyne and IC allied with each other, and one of them also allied to you? If so, the civ that was allied to both the other two civs would win a diplomatic victory.

Original post updated to indicate that I got a Diplomatic victory (Alliance). This was on Supernova 1.90.

Reply to v1.9 (LIVE) Changelog - Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="ReneTS" reply="9" id="3904416"] Does these hotfixes work with an ongoing game? [/quote] I would expect that some of them do, and some of them require a new game. The fix for asteroid mine production worked immediately in my ongoing game. But I suspect that a change like the explorers trait might require a new game, since XML definitions are often stored in the saved game.

Reply to Ver 1.9 Precursor Relics not giving bonuses in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

In my 1.9 game the relic effects shows up in the tooltip for a core world's research, manufacturing, etc. But the tooltips for the icons along the top of the galaxy window, and the tooltips for the relics themselves in the galaxy window, don't show the effects, they are blank. I've reported this as a bug on the Discord channel.

Are you sure it's the same AI that built both? I've seen this when an AI has invaded another AI's core world without destroying the shipyard, then builds its own.

The changes under Ideology traits for 9/25 says that the citizen stat buffs for Singularity have been reduced from 200% to 50%. But it seems the description wasn't updated to match: Note this is on a new game started after the 9/25 update.

[quote who="PaulLach" reply="1" id="3903966"] Below is a screen snapshot showing an item that is contributing -20% to approval, but there is no description of what it is which means players have no idea what to do to fix it.

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="6" id="3903907"] If you can remove the survey module from that ship you designed [/quote] I can't even find that ship anymore in the ship designer. What with my starting survey ship, my commander flag ships, and additional ships made flag ships by the vault artifacts, I have plenty of ships capable of surveying. I just want to get that unbuildable ship out of the list of ships at my shipyards.

Reply to How to get rid of obsolete Flag Ship design? in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="1" id="3903829"] If you obsolete the survey ship (flag ship), you're never getting it back. Its a flaw in the ship management system. You can't unobsolete designs. Obsoleting default designs ships caused problems for a player a while back (in base game I believe) when a player obsoleted the default colony ship, but the game relied on that design for the colony ship executive order. It broke the game if I recall correctly. [/quote] S

How to get rid of obsolete Flag Ship design? in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Whenever I play GC4 Supernova I see this Flag Ship design show up in my ship yards, but it's not build-able and I can't select it and use the button to obsolete it. I participated in the beta for GC4 on Epic over a year ago, and at some point players were able to design and build their own flag ships, so I'm pretty sure I did that. Since the original version on Epic and Supernova

I've been seeing the same sort of thing, although perhaps not as bad as your examples.

Reply to Culture Point Visibility and Tax Settings in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I heartily agree with wanting more visibility on Culture points. [quote]Also, 96% approval seems to be a limit, until later when you can eke out 97% on a few worlds. Not a big problem for me, but it seems curious. [/quote] 96% does seem to be a cap, but I've gotten up to 100% on planets that I've invaded, so perhaps it isn't a cap for the AI (other than the Yor).

Reply to DogPile in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Did you just capture an enemy capital? There's a cultural trait the AI might have that causes all players to declare war on you in that case.

Reply to Crime and other oddities/quirks in 1.8. (but mostly crime) Why so much crime??? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

There's also a relatively new anomaly generated vault artifact that lets you increase crime on an opponent's planet. The AI could be using that against you.

You can make it a colony and use an orbital improvement to harvest the Harmony Crystals (after getting the right tech). Why make it a core world?
