Worst of all is the existance of a password corruption bug, so that after having used the settings screen the passwords got corrupted.
CHECK COMPANION HOMEPAGE FOR UPDATE TO VER 0.853, WILLBE THERE AS SOON AS SJ UPLOAD IT, UNTIL THEN:

0.853:
Fixed password corruption bug.
Fixed plugin editor crash bug.
Fixed Shipset cleaner checking all files twice bug.
The error check now sends bugmail with internal mail server, then it doesn't matter what mail client you use, (for the bug mail server to work no settings need to be entered).
The mod thing, yes it changes the path.txt setting when it starts a modded game, will have to think on how to solve this...
If you try to run the game from the command line (Run...) with PATH\SE4.EXE PATHSAVEGAME\SAVEGAME.GAME PLAYERNUMBER PASSWORD MODNAME
ie "c:\spel\spaceempires Iv Gold" "c:\spel\sapceempires Iv Gold\savegames\test.gam" "1" "mypass" "testmod"
and see if the combat works I'd appreciate it
In the PBW scan error I could use some more help if you're up to it..
Set the log mode in settings to DEBUG and when the error occurs, mail me the log file companion.log from the logs directory, don't continue the app before you send the log, as I'd like to know what it was about to do when the error occurs.
But you could continue the app again and send me the log after you've continued aswell..
