Re: Known Bugs
And #64. It's a bad one, confirmed with DarkAnt as reproducable.
There is a way to cause the game to partially crash, but not exit. An access violation error is thrown, and the game ends up showing you the empire of the last player on the list. Buttons do not work ("order" buttons are clickable, but do nothing), but you can use F2-F12 to get at the various info screens, can navigate the galaxy map, look at individual ships, etc. As you could imagine, this can quickly kill a multiplayer game.
I'm sending a bug report to Aaron with the specific details on how the crash occured. I think everyone understands my reasons for not publicly posting the details on how to reproduce this. DarkAnt and I hope it's just mod/shipset errors that are causing the problem, and it's not something that is exploitable in general. But it's better to be safe.
