I just got a new laptop and installed SEIV and then downloaded the current patch and modpack. Loaded it all up and then on the second turn, with my first colony ship I get:

Range check error (er... maybe Range index...) everytime I try to move it to a warp point. The game then crashes. Argh!

I have tried this 3 times and can't get it to work - what do I do?!?! (

My system is Windows ME (didn't know if that mattered)

Thank you!

This sounds exactly like the bug I reported on the "Any More Bugs?" thread. In my case I get the same crash if I try to move the ship anywhere (not just to a warp point), it happens with no mods installed (ver. 1.41), and with any savegame file I've tried -- including games started on the laptop. On games started on the laptop, the game runs normally until I build my first ship and try to move it, then I get a "Range Check Error" and the game crashes.
