The SystemsNames.txt file would crash the game if it had over 16,380 names in it.

Niice. I think that one was first reported at what, 7 PM last night?

EDIT: on the other hand, its saying my copy does not match the older version needed. hmm.

EDIT2: it was because I had moved the SE5 folder. Also, the installer really doesn't like it if any of the SE5 files are marked read-only.

Sounds like you've got the Steam version?

The patches always have difficulty finding the .exe if you've moved the folder without updating the registry.

No, EB Games. The "wrong version" is just its generic error for "hey, I couldn't find SE5/something went wrong".

The patch is on steam.

Why does it say that it breaks save games when the patch doesnt break non-steam version save games?

Edit : Seems to load 1.0 games fine, maybe they are just covering their asses.

CYA. It most likely won't break your savegames.

Ah. Logged onto Steam and it patched itself in about 2 minutes. Still haven't played a game yet though.

EDIT: Wow! Was view locking in the release or did it just come out in the patch? That alone makes me like the game 5% extra.

In the Demo (pre-1.00), you could click on the planet picture and it would bring up a full report on the planet, including telling about it's cargo and facilities, inhabitants, etcetera.

It was a very useful report.

In v1.00 and also v1.08, clicking on the planet no longer brings up details about the planet. Instead it just makes the picture bigger.

You need to be right-clicking on the info box next to the pic to see the report now the pic.
