Yes, after a while the research trainer doesn't work like it should. Farther into the game, it SAYS it activates and the bar moves a little bit and the thing says 1 turn and so you turn it off. But it doesn't succeed the next turn. Once you go to the next turn, you can activate it again for another chunk of the bar filled up. You have to do this 4 or 5 times for each research item. I even went back and did some of the items that are available to reearch in the beginning that I skipped over and it is happening with them too and not just items that take a lot of research.

I have a saved game if the author would like it. I tried again today after turning my computer on and it's still happening.

+1
try to get a little advanced into game and you will have like 100/150/200 + turns for a research (try do this - select research , activate then open research + escape countless times until 1 turn , after that deactivate + turn , again next turn ....)

I'l try your key combo.. But I couldn't get the bar to move just by activating and deactivating.. I have to take a turn to get the bar to move some more.. all the while it SAYS 1 turn when I mouseover. But like I said, went back to the money/diplomacy tree which I had spent NO research on and even those did the same thing once I was far enough into the game.

And I have yet to get the unlimited moves for ships to work.

Please send me your savegame to 0x90@cheathappens.com inlcuding the savegame directory / path (where to put it to)

Sent.

any progress of the research option ?

Yes, I can reproduce the problem with the savegames. ALthough it does not explain why it has stopped.

The good news is that I've fixed it so it works (at least on my end) on your savegames but you need to have the option activated while ending a turn otherwise the current research is stucked at -XXXXX days left. The way of how researches are handled does not allow a perfect mechanism which sets the current research level close to the research level needed to be completed.

The bad news is, when the research still makes problems I'll remove it.
