[[v1.5 RC4] Stuck on Xenopedia after completing Heavy Lasers research]

The title says almost everything. When the advanced laser weaponry research is over, it opens the xenopedia page for the good intelligence, I can navigate through the entire xenopedia just like normal, but I can't close the window. I tried to restart a new game on a fresh save, but the bug is still there.

It means that I can't research advanced lasers or my game will be stuck on Xenopedia... which is unfortunate.

I fixed this by correcting the entry for Researches.AdvancedLasers in the researches.xml file (located in the assets folder in your install directory). The entries in the "When Finished" column were not correct. They were missing the "UpgradeBuilding("MissileTurret", "LaserTurret");" item. The full entry in the "When Finished" column should be:

UnlockKnowledge( "Researches.RapidFireLasers" );

UnlockManufacture( "ManTech.Scatterlaser" );

ReplaceItem("AV.AUTOCANNON","AV.SCATTERLASER");

UnlockItem("VV.PULSELASER");

UnlockKnowledge( "Researches.PulseLasers" );

UnlockBuilding( "LaserTurret" );

UpgradeBuilding("MissileTurret", "LaserTurret");

If you make sure that all these items are present, then hopefully your heavy laser resaerch should complete successfully. Good luck!
