Range Check Error
 

Has anyone else had this problem. It seems I cant prgress in the game I have saved because when I try to end a turn I get this error and the game locks up. I havent altered anything, and the game worked fine for a good way through my sesion but now I cant get passed this error.

Gold

I had one just before I quit for the night yesterday. I am planning on trying to reload my game and get a saved game off to MM

Re: Range Check Error
 

Since you haven't modded anything, you might want to try renaming the gold folder and reinstalling it, then moving over the save and try running it.

What OS are you using?

You can try sending the saved game in to MM and tell them about the problem.

Can you describe the situation (more details are better), and maybe post the savegame.

I have gotten an ERROR when building ships (when I am updating ships myself) and have toooooo many componets, how ever I clear out some and I can continue on

I am using XP. Ill load the saved game, and then I will end a turn. as soon as it gets to my next turn I will end it and then i get an error that says "Range Check Error." And the game locks up.
I reloaded the game and opened the saved game and it is still happening at the same point.

Re: Range Check Error
 

what race's turn does it happen during or does it happen right away. If it happens during a specific race's turn. Try taking over control of that race and seeing what is causing the error exactly when it occurs.

It does happen during a specific races turn, I took control of that races and i got past the error, but as soon as I relinquished control and ended my turn the error happened again.

Re: Range Check Error
 

Try retaining control as you end turn.

Then if it works, go back, and turn on one AI minister, and maintain control as you end turn.

Eventually you will find the minister that is causing the problem.

All right, this was odd.

I had a save game 2 turns before I had the game crash on me, when I went to get the game saved just before the spot where it crashed Last night the error never showed up. Does any one know if tsr programs will only occasionally crash the game?

Re: Range Check Error
 

I get range check error within 20 turns. Start a quickstart game, turn off end turn confirmation and begin turn log. Hold down F12 and by the 20th turn I get a range check error. No mods.

This makes me sad. Was looking forward to a long weekend of playing SEIV Gold.

This is funny. Turn 20 is the turn all the AIs will re-design all their ships completly. Have you added any new races? Maybe they miss the drone strategy. Try adding the TDM-ModPack, take two of the races of it (for example the Xiati and the Terrans), make sure no AI races are added and now go up to turn 20. If you do not encounter any error now, it must be some races in your normal game that produces the error. uninstall and delete the "old" SE4 Gold and re-installing the game in this case.

Sad to say but I too just got a Range Check Error as I was in a deep huge Game. I do know that the race was Drushocka and the two turns before the crash this race was taking a very long time to end their turn. That should have warned me. Still displeased that the AI still does this.
