Duskers - Weekly Challenge (Supposedly Known) Bug
Channel: Mustika S. A.
Date: 03/09/2019

Subtitles are on (cuz I love adding them)! Even post v1.041p20 release, the bug still occurs. At least it doesn't seem to encounter with missing upgrades anymore, though.
Read description for further conclusion.

First off, if you have Windows and happen to regularly play Duskers (or used to), Decavoid has made this amazing unofficial patch that fixes some parts of the game-breaking bugs that kills some people's will to even bother with this game anymore. It's recommended to download this baby and apply it asap. Instructions are clear in the notepad included in this link.

So the rule of thumb you can get from this video (in which I included in the thumbnail as well): Do NOT start a mission in a ship that shares the same name as the Stargate which would be your very final destination for your Weekly Challenge completion. You damn want that sweet, sweet 1000 points addition over a ship visit that at most advantages on about 100-150 points (rough calculation) for score progression.

Q: But Musti, what happened if the Stargate hasn't showed in my galaxy view? How can I tell that a certain ship has the same name as the Stargate?
A: Sadly I don't know how to solve that, either. At best before you keep going with your Weekly Challenge progression, ALWAYS backup your starting Weekly game files and overwrite your current bugged progression with the backed up files when necessary. Dano has this amazing explanation towards on how-to (scroll to comment section): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhC9mYtlOds&lc=Ugy_TPUo5lGniGSksHB4AaABAg
Heck, I think this video is actually inspired by his explanation over the bug-being-caused-by-ship-sharing-same-name-with-Stargate. Yeah, that's the point of this video, anyway. Thanks, man.

Note from LB: "Generally you can just play the game as normal and then when you get to where the warp gate is supposed to be, save and restart the game and it turns back into a warp gate. [snip] I may also have manually edited the save file during the save and restart to fix it, but I don't remember."

I will do my best to update this video description when it gets more attention and more important points from more experienced players are raised in lieu to this video. I won't hope on it for sure. Just in case.
