[Solved] Crash while loading - missing command station with new game

Hi,

I upgraded to 3.0 from one of the latest pre-releases using the built in installer. When I try to load my old savegame, the game crashes:

I tried to start a new game, but there where my home command station should be nothing is displayed (attached). I guess I will just try to reinstall everything.

Yes, it looks like it did not update several things, which is very unusual -- I would suggest doing a fresh install of 3.0 and just keeping your settings.dat and Save folders.  Sorry for the trouble, I am not sure what would cause the installer to skip files like that.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I reinstalled the game, everything works.

Glad to hear it!
