I did'nt knew that there should be a notification, so I miss it too
But when I enter research, it starts at the first chapter were I miss something

Well, that's the case for me too, but as you can see here...

It is now a lot easier to see if and where you have missing unlocked technologies in the Research Tree, and we added easier scrolling through this menu as well

and here...

You can click them for easy navigation in the tech tree. Also, if you have a new, unresearched technology, it should give you a notification that there is something to see in an earlier chapter, making you aware that you have not yet researched everything.

There should also be somekind of notification. Since that one is missing and I was asked to add a bug report, that's what I did. ^^

Hi Katezenprinz - thanks for your report. We are checking with our game designers exactly what the intended function is here, and will let you know the outcome as soon as possible

something I have observed :
-if you click a chapter button for a chapter where all research is complete, it takes you to the head of the chapter;
-if you click a chapter button and there is an uncomplete research there, it takes you directly to this research (currently getting it for cerberus II in chapter IV)

Hey Philplessis, this is indeed the way in which this feature is currently functioning Also you get taken to the head of the chapter if you have not yet unlocked the first tech there. We are checking whether this is the intended function.

Ok but that to me is NOT the way I would describe a "notification". A notification for me is something like a message or blinking picture/arrow or whatever. The way you did it, I still have to click through every chapter to see if there is a tech part missing. Sorry but that's not really helpful.

Same here.

Hi folks - apologies for the delayed reply here. We've now checked with our Game Designers and this feature is currently working as intended. Therefore this is not a bug.

... and also arrow now points to chapter 1 all the time when i enter research

@Dony - this is a separate issue, which should be fixed. Please clear your browser's cache if the issue still persists for you.
