AI War Beta 6.035-6.038 "Dire Protector" Released!

On the shark thing, the foldouts shouldn't be causing AIP on death, will take a look.

@Wingflier and Vyndicu: do you happen to have any saves from those games that were from 6.034 or earlier?  I think the bug is in the conversion of the old save, so by the time your 6.035 saves get to me the deed's already been done.

Update: 6.036 is out to hotfix a bug in the last version where some old saves would load as if the "Fast Drones" toggle were turned off.

Related:  The foldouts seem to require supply, even though the tooltip doesn't state this.  I found this out when my nuked homeworld's Military foldouts stopped shooting at units.

The earliest save game I can find that has not been touched by 6.035 is the same one I upload earlier about neinzul drone not moving.

I don't want to risk loading it to check in case it will break spire blade spawner again. I don't remember if at that point in the game I gotten far enough to get it or not. If you want to go that far and test the conversion. Go to the system with spire blade MK V fabricator (You can't miss this one since it is next door to murdoch) and hack the ARS there. That should be enough for your testing purpose.

Actually if you try loading any of them in 6.036 the blade spawners should be back up and running   Let me know if not.

Critical error:

When I try to load an earlier save in 6.036, I get a "Client Receiving Data Error", followed by all of the Harvesters in the galaxy being "reset", all Fallen Spire stuff disappearing, and all unit caps returning to single-homeoworld levels. 
Edit:  All the wormholes went away, too.  Interesting universe... I couldn't lose anymore!

I've attached a save, plus the ArcenDebugLog.txt and ClientReceivingData.txt logs.  There was nothing in the UnhandledErrors log.
This happened in several saves, but not in others from earlier in the game.  It may be related to the late-game Fallen Spire stuff - the cutoff point seems to be somewhere around City 5/Exogalactic Transceiver.

[keith.lamothe]

Whoops, heh.  Loading it up now.

[keith.lamothe]

Looks like the psuedo-protectors that had snuck in the game earlier were causing errors now that they were being loaded and modular.  Testing fix.

Those stupid protectors sure like making a hash of things.

Update: 6.037 is out to fix a bug in the last version that threw errors when loading some saves from a couple versions ago (the protector starship had snuck out, and trying to load one that a wasn't modular with the game now knowing it was modular... yeah).

Ha! Well... on that note, i will start a new game, rather than loading a save from 6.034


Sorry that the pseudo-protectors have been so exceptional.

Loading them should work fine in 6.037   If not, please let me know.

Yepp, looks good. Both .036 and .034 saves load without error for me.

Thanks alot, Keith!

Works for me as well.

However, there's more:
0011737: Cannot start a new game in Defender mode.

Jesus man. When it rains it pours.
