I fought ground combats in a war with my stack of ~20 assault armies led by a commander and they didn't die during about a month of ground combat. However, I then landed those armies on a friendly planet, which after a few months of losing the war came under bombardment. The leader died within a week. Enemy transports eventually then arrived in the system. I hired a new leader for the army as they neared the planet. The leader died from bombardment before the enemy armies landed.

That is a known issue and a workaround has been posted. The launcher does not have any malware - it is not a virus.  

Thanks for logging this, I'm having the same problem so I upvoted the report.  

Starfire Breeze said: My guess would be that it's likely one of the various breakages with Federations & first contacts then. These are the problems that I know about, for reference :

- Special first contact actions for non-"regular empire" entities only happen for the Fed member empire that finishes the first contact (problematic for space creatures & cripplingly bad for the Hrozgar first contact events, just an annoyance for mercantile-type enclaves)
- On founding of the galcom, Fed members get the first contact influence award for *every pre-existing galcom member* (which often will fill up ...

It is in a Federation, and I don't recall having these issues when it wasn't in a Federation. That's an interesting insight - I wonder why that's part of the issue.  

I just reached another first contact situation, although I can see the ship that triggered it. This might lead to another quiet completion of the first contact process, so I'm uploading the save here now.  

Refuel said: I'm getting this same issue with space fauna and especially enclaves/mauraders. It is super noticeable early game where first contact will begin with the blue envoy project above my capital (?) but I see no entities on the galaxy map except my own ship. I tried a hive mind stargazer (eager explorer jump ships) build for the boost to sensor and hyperlane range and this problem got 100 times worse when i was jumping to explore the galaxy.

Previously in the early game when I would explore in the first ten years of the game I would see the stations and ships in a maurader empire with the f...

I had already conducted several first contact processes against AI empires, as well as against the Tiyanki and Amoebas. I started a first contact with an entity that appeared at my homeworld, although I didn't see anything on the map or in the system. Months later, I then got an audio message saying that communications have been established, but I didn't get any pop-ups. I didn't realize that it was with the crystals until I came across them years later. After that, I tried t... Read more
