Just noticed I had a rather massive AI Errors file.

First entry was this:

Code: [Select]

2009/07/01 1:55:30
-----------------------------------
Command Error:   System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

   at AIWar.AILoop.RunAILoop() in C:\vcprojs\AIWar\Framework\AI\AILoop.cs:line 215
Then nothing for a few days until I assume I upgraded to a new version and then this:

Code: [Select]

Over and over and over again. About 80 times by the look of it over all my gameplay. Last entry was this:

Code: [Select]

Then I presume I upgraded to the latest version from Impulse which doesn't have the debugging instrumentation included.

Actually, all the versions have the same debugging output.  So I think this is just something kind of intermittent.  I've put in some extra check code for this in an updated 1.010A prerelease, so hopefully that will permanently solve the issue.  This would cause the AI to "go stupid" for a little while when these errors happen, so that could explain them sitting around and such when they otherwise should not be.

If you already downloaded the 1.010A version before now, please download it again to get this fix.  I didn't feel like this one thing was worth a whole 1.010B version.  Thanks for reporting it!

No problem. And yeah, that would actually explain those odd AI issues I've had recently though.

Though for the moment: sleep. I shall play again when I awaken.
