If you click "additional options" when making a post, there is a place to attach those files.

Hi nl1dnv,

Thanks for the report.  I mentioned in the release notes that this one had a high likelihood of bugs; from the look of it, you're just running into one, and it's constantly logging errors, which is the cause of all the above stuff.

The very odd thing is that nothing has changed in the file you're specifically referencing there; it seems to be a downstream issue.  Can you look and see if there is a different error at the start of that big long stretch of those, or if there's another error in a different log file there?

Thanks!

[nl1dnv]

Sure I will,

 I read the likelyhood of new bugs. Just couln't suppress a laugh as I read that!, just didn't realize that would actually trash the game though

I'd hardly call it trashed -- a pretty simple fix once I actually know where there error is, and I'll have a new version out.

Hi,

I just updated to 4.047 on my Mac an no problems so far.

Btw: I may have missed some changes but is it possible that I always get to choose from the exact same bonus ships?

Maybe I use the wrong word.. let's use 'inability to correctly render stuff that was previously there'

freeman08 -- thanks for the note.  A lot of people aren't having any serious issues yet, so I'm not sure what's different on these three machines (obviously something, though).

Regarding the bonus ships, I suspect you're on Simple ship types.  You can change that to complex in the lobby, and that would give you access back to all of them!

nl1dnv -- No other log files at the moment?  I'm waiting on something more to go on, right now I can do nothing much.

[x4000]

Okay, I think I found it.  For players without all the expansions unlocked, but with them installed, it would do this.  Will have a fix shortly.

[freeman08]

omg, when did I change that.

Is working now

What is also strange, is that steam now keeps stating that it is finished downloading the expansion packs; something it did'nt previously do via the steam popups. I also have the following errors:

ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt

Code: [Select]

As I am unfamiliar with the product on a technical level, I could only find this.

I'm not sure about why Steam is doing that other thing.

But, that was the error that I needed -- I just was able to duplicate that myself, and a fix is being uploaded as we speak.

It's out!  http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7841.0.html

Thanks for the super-fast fix! And the best thing is; there is just enough evening left for some... AI war! 

[x4000]

My pleasure.  Thanks for the report, all three of you!
