Eric,

That seems to have done it. The game did not crash at start-up, nor in two hours of play time. And I had all the races available, including the Ikkuro and the Dhayut.

Thank you for you and your team for your efforts in this matter.

I did notice a few possible minor issues, though. But I ...

I've only had a limited amount of time to play, but it seems to function properly.

Unable to attach a Saved Game file, though.

Just for laughs, I uninstalled DW2 again. Then I installed 1.0.6.4.. The game started.
I then installed 1.1.0.9. The game started.
I then installed 1.1.2.4. The game started.
Finally, I installed the DLC 1.1.2.4. In the Start A New Game setup there still only the six original races, and when I hit ...

Hi Eric, I would have included the Session log in the original post, I received message that that file wasn't valid and was allowed to attach it!?! Today, I can.

Greetings, I decided to pick up the new DLC yesterday. I installed it and went to play, and I do not have either of the two new races available. In the C\Programsx86\Matrix Games\Data\ship hull model data\ship folder both races have their respective folders listed. Each folder has files of what I'm ...

In Policy Settings check to see what your default action is for capturing ships and capturing bases. In DWU it seemed that no matter what your Policy settings were for captured ships and bases you still had the option to manually decide. In DW2 it seems to me that what you chose in Policy Settings ...

Greetings
I noticed that there was a Space Creature at this star. Decided to send a fleet in to take care of it.
Wow! A gathering of Graillex. Or is it a Gaggle?!
I count at least 40.
Game settings is for Few Space Creatures.
Anyway, I am enjoying the game!!

Just preordered at Matrix. Did time suddenly slow down?!

[X(]
Exciting!!

Too many questions to ask!! Too much to take in!! Looks great so far!! Didn't realize just how badly I was waiting for DW-2 until now!!

Thanks Eric!!

<t> Not that I'm aware of. You have no real control of the private sector. The closest you can come is to manually direct construction ships to build mines where you want them. Of course, the mines then revert to private sector control. You can also manually design the private sector ships. But ...

Drybreeze, thank you for resuming work on your mod. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Hattori, who isn't a board gamer geek if they admit publicly they actually play/played them?! LOL

<t> Hey, once a board gamer always a board gamer! Even if none of us still play them anymore.[:D] My first one was Avalon Hill's Panzer Blitz. Bought it back in the mid Seventies, when I was still in high school. The little group of gamers I was part of stopped playing pretty much by the mid ...

Thank you Hattori. I will do so.

So which links/patches would I need to actually play this mod. I have only begun to read the entire thread and I'm already a bit confused (one modder begins and another takes over). Looks pretty intense and I would like to try it. Thanks for any clarification anyone can provide!

<t> Hattori, we all have our illusions. Not meaning to quash any of yours. My point was the last post of USSAmerica. There are a ton of great ideas on the Wish List thread. Unfortunately we all know that all of them cannot be included in DW2. Hopefully we will hear some positive news soooooooooooon ...

<r> Glad you figured it out. After I read your last post I remembered that it was for the same refueling issue as to why I don't include them in fleets. See this thread:<br/>

More likely the developers have already coded all the changes they're going to make in DW2. [:)]
