Hello,

May I ask if this occurs after using missile volley by chance? Also do you happen to have a save file where we can replicate this issue via dropbox or drive link?

The issue where the beam and missile volley icons are not visible, but are functionally there, just happened to me.

Here is a save file that should show this:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/btyfhjbgaljhelwi5ez1k/Missing-Icons-Under-2.5.580372.GC4Sav?rlkey=fdt2lerkr4jyddo3bevn8in0e&st=pj5c1kzp&dl=0

To see the issue:

1. Load the save file
2. Click on any of my fleets and you should see that the volley icons are missing as shown  in the first screen snapshot below
3. Hover your mouse over the blank space where the icons should be and you should see the hover text for the selected volley type as shown in the second and third screen snapshots below
4. If you selected the fleet shown in the screen snapshots below, you can click where the volley icon you want to use should be then click on the enemy ship located diagonally down and to the left.  The volley works.

• I always figured that was just because there are a finite number of precursor beams my science vessels have found. I never noticed any of the ships I had already built disappearing tho.  

The ship capture is a known bug they are working to fix.

In game settings at the bottom right there is a button labeled "advanced settings" check to see if the "Disable AI surrendering" button is selected.

Some times and it has happened to me the game resets the defaults after an upgrade/patch, if you have used this screen you might also have inadvertently selected it, also has happened to me in the past.

I checked and surrender is enabled - it just is no longer happening…

Hello, I wanted to circle back on this, was this issue resolved with the latest update?

update:  Today I had my first opponent surrender.  I literally had to pound the living crap out of him but he finally surrendered to a neighboring race - who promptly declared war on me.  It seems to me that surrender should be occurring a bit sooner.

I haven't yet checked if ship capture is working.   Too frustrating to get to that point in the game and find it isn't.

Not all types of missiles and beam module have the volley ability; only certain ones do.

Having said that, there's a mod that's available that make all the missiles and beam module have access to the volley ability. If that's something that you'd like to use on your next game, head over to https://www.galciv4.com/mods/manager and look for BugFix_Illauna-VolleyFix in Up Bundle of Mods.
