Strange crew roster bug. Not sure if caused by watchtower.

[Christrix]

I have a strange issue with my crew roster where several crew are overlapping and a red lightning bolt logo has appeared in the background. This is a new save started for watchtower with only a few creations. I have tried literally everything I can do with crew to fix this but only reloading from 6 hours back fixes it. I can't point to what caused it. All I did in those 6 hours was Akila questing, a few watchtower outposts... Somewhere along the way this happened. Below is a pic of the bug and my load order.

Thank you for the report - I have opened a ticket on our internal bug tracker to investigate. Which platform are you playing on?

Update: the dev team have informed me that we don't alter this crew menu in any way. Have you tried temporarily disabling your UI mods to see if the issue persists?

Hi, I'm on pc. I have no UI mods except for the compendium and astrolabe neither ow which affect the crew roster. I have simply reloaded an earlier save to before the bug happened.

I suspected watchtower because I couldnt find a single report of this bug after an hour of scouring google and the affected crew members on this list( the ones that are overlapping and out of place) were all assigned to a fleet ship but if WT doesn't alter this menu i'm gonna chalk this up to a super rare vanilla bug.

Hi there, hope this messasge reaches you. I can confirm this bug IS caused by watchtower. I left stardock and disbaled watchtower and this fixed the issue. i can also confirm this happens on stardock as thats where I got the issue. It seems to happen with upgrading amps or intel with the doc and harper. Id attach a save but it's unsuported as a file type.

Edit: I can also confirm this isn't a mod conflict as i had removed my two ui mods, compendium and astrolabe before i removed watchtower and this didnt resolve the issue. Only disabling watchtower did.

For now I will save before using stardocks services but I hope this is something that can be fixed.

Thank you for the update and confirmation. This clearly does seem to be the case, even if it shouldn't be. I have added your information to the ticket.

Hi! This bug is caused by giving cyber amps to crew. Specificlally I gave a tier 3 propultion amp to moara. I just tested this to confirm. Hope this helps

Thank you for being so thorough and really digging into this. We have confirmed this and have a fix internally. Such a bizarre, seemingly unrelated issue (not the UI after all!), but this will be fixed for our second update patch. We appreciate your efforts!
