Strange Goings on!
 

ROFL...

saw a neutral's homeworld being sucked into a blackhole; talk about a nasty random event!

Man, Pathy, that's not the only thing weird.

I'm getting chronic problems with saved games not being able to load http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif

See the attached JPG.

And I know I'm not the only one, I've seen a couple other Posts now about this...

It kind of seems odd, SE4 has always been rock-solid for me; I've never had any problem like this before.

Re: Strange Goings on!
 

I'll get that if I try to load an incompatible mod save game.

Eg. Pirates & nomads. There are three extra advanced traits (for normal, pirate & nomad) any game that was not saved under P&N will give that error.

A similar error occurs if you try to load a race that has an invalid settings.
I even got "unable to load" when I'd mistyped something in the facility.txt file.

Are you using a mod? Have you ever been using a mod?
MM may have reduced the # of components or something, & now you have a "component #256" on a ship, but there are only 250 components in the game.

No, no, and no.

I have never installed any of the modpacks, and this was NOT from a different game.

I was in a game, did something stupid, and tried to load the savefile I'd created just 2 minutes prior. v1.35 is hosed!

Re: Strange Goings on!
 

hmmmmm. I haven't had any problems except one I was in the middle of when the 1.35 patch came out.
After I squashed the designcreation.txt errors of the races in the game and a minor glitch (unfound yet) which prevented use of the MODPAK folder, I haven't seen any more.

Except the odd typo or two in my own custom races I have made [ http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif]

I havent seen these problems in the beta code.
