Range Check Error
Hi, guys.
I installed SE IV Gold yesterday and I keep getting game killing (it hangs) error Messages. "Range Check Error"
Any thoughts?
I'm running a Win ME system at present which has been giving me no end of trouble, so I'm thinking it might be an OS conflict.

Re: Range Check Error
RCE's can be caused by many differant things. I would recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the game. Then add your extra's one at a time. Most RCE's were caused by Computer Controlled AI trying to do something really dumb like refit a ship that could not be refit.
Do a search for RCE's Or Range Check Errors and see what you find. Best of luck.

Re: Range Check Error
Is there any apparent pattern to when the RCE's occur?

Re: Range Check Error
Replay the turn but avoid any combat that usally got me past the errors.

Re: Range Check Error
Next to try is:
1) find out which AI player is causing the RCE
2) change this player to human control, and end turn for it.
3) if step two fails, try again, but turn off one more minister.
4) once you have isolated the problem, you can turn that minister off for a turn, and tehn restore full AI for the next turn, and continue your game.
5) if you can't get through the problem, post your savegame to the forum, and we will look into it.
