Sector & Beacon changed upon reload

[Dirka]

Weirdest bug so far.

I was in a civilian sector with lots of nebulas, at a nebula beacon. Quit and reloaded, and suddenly the encounter had changed to an asteroid field in a rebel sector.

Very odd, and a bit annoying, since I was looking forward to farming the snot out of that sector...

Anyhoo, the save should be under the following link, maybe it'll shed some light:

Did you switch systems or was it reloaded on the same computer that saved it?

[Dirka]

Nope, same system. Didn't change anything, reloaded within 5 minutes.

Possibly related bug: I just continued a game that I saved+quit before, the next beacon to the right was a store, but is not anymore. Also, the current beacon is suddenly in an asteroid field, which wasn't the case before. I remember this, because I was contemplating if I should upgrade the clone bay before getting to the store to restore health a bit faster, or if I should wait to see what the store offers. After continuing, neither upgrade nor store were there, saving me from this difficult decision...

Same here, except on iOS client.
"Oh, yay! Got that Zoltan Shield!"
*crash*
"Oh, well. Time to reload."
*gets Envoy instead when I already have 3 Zoltans with fully trained skills on a Mantis Cruiser*
"FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....................................."

And another one: Non-harzard beacon w/ fight turns to sun beacon.

I've hit this bug, too, playing the basic game (advanced content disabled). I saved during combat between Kestral A and a manned rebel ship at a non-hazard beacon (rebel ship couldn't penetrate my shield, so I was safe); when later loading to continue the game, suddenly we were in the middle of an asteroid field. What the heck?

I am running the latest version of FTL (1.5.13) on Windoze 8.0.

Have the devs been able to gain any insight into this bug yet?

(BTW: Great game! Just recently introduced to it. Lots of fun.)

Edit: Reloaded the game on the same system. I have no idea how to load the game on a different system; didn't realize that was even possible. -m
