Damm Range Check Errors

I am so tired of RCE's, I'm running the latest ver of gold with the TDM mod pack. Turn 150ish, during the AI's turn, BOOM, RCE, I am sure it's fighter related, but does anyone know if MM can kill the RCE issue ? It sure is getting old.

RCE's happen for a variety of reasons and as Aaron is made aware of each INDIVIDUAL issue he will fix them.

My advice is to send in your save game and give him your info on your machine, especially about any background processes, and what mods you have installed.

hmm, I haven't had any RCE's in my Last several games. I used to get them quite often but it seems mose have been cleared by the patches. One thing you may want to ck, try and turn off or disable some of the programs that are running in the backround when your playing. If your not on the net when playing, disable your virus checker, I found this does make a difference sometimes, don't know why but it has.

yeah

windows is multitasking environment but you must run only one program at a time if you want programs to run as expected :-)

The fighter bug strikes again.

Actually, I think I've discovered another type of RCE; on two separate occasions I've had an RCE occur when I've given orders to a ship/fleet to move through a sector that was clear when I issued the order, but was later occupied by an enemy ship/fleet. Clearing the ship/fleet orders, ending the turn, and then re-issuing the orders clears the RCE.

Hmmm... when I get these, the game freezes & I have to Alt+Cntrl+Del out of the game. If there are a lot of these RCE's.. it might prove to be a real hinderance to IP play.

I wouldn't say there are many RCE's... I've only gotten an RCE twice since I started playing SE4 (and I bought the game within a month or two of Shrapnel offering it). So your game should be relatively safe.

RWittman · #10 May 16th, 2002, 07:27 PM

Thanks for all the advise, but I allways zap all of my background jobs before starting to play SE4. My Last RCE was drone related but the Last patch seemed to fix that problem. I have seen the fighter RCE for a while now (pre gold) and it is getting better with each patch. I was under the impression that the fighter RCE was a single bug, guess not.
