Take a look in your

Distant Worlds\Movie  - Make sure there are 3 files there named  code Force Intro - Distant Worlds Intro - MatrixIntro

If all of them are there, do they play WITH sound in your Win Media Player?

Great timing! and so happy to have another chapter of Fred back, thank you Lancer!

Lostweb, do you have Windows Media Player 11/12 installed on your computer? If it is installed, have you checked to make sure it is the latest version? 

<t> Well I will grant you about the possibilities of those being all new errors, but with generic error feedback via the error pop-ups stating that it is yet another GxBo or another GxHab or yet another outofrange error how is one to know? Perhaps oh I dunno, possibly some developer feedback maybe ...

(The fact is, these crash reports seemed to have ceased prior to the expansion being announced, so it really is a shame so many are having problems at a time when the entire development team are commited to the expansion. It's a small team so they're really spread a ...

<t> I really like the small tweak in Boskara and Dhayut that you did! I will definately be giving that a shot, nice having consistently solid bad guys to duke it out with =P<br/>

My settings have been a little all over the place as I am still trying to find that "sweet spot" for my games.<br ...

From my testing I only used a 250 star galaxy which has a 14 empire limite I believe? pretty sure that's what it is.<br/>
I was able to add empires without issue along with independents, but deleting either of those if they were computer generated would cause a crash.<br ...

<r> Alright, in another post a couple of us were discussing potential game crashing bugs and what may be causing them.<br/>

Wonder If I should put the above post onto its own thread for easier viewing?

<r> Alright, just because I am one of those people that get highly annoyed when I can't solve problems when I know the problems can be logically worked out in some rudimentary form or another, I have continued messing around with this game and its editor.<br/>
<br/>
While I certainly cant decipher ...

<t> After yet another hard crash, my patience has ran its course, I'll be shelving Distant Worlds for the time being and see what transpires over the coming weeks/months.<br/>
<br/>
You say that bug reports had nearly ceased to be reported, I'd be willing to put forth the notion that people just ...

<r> Yea I tried the support option but if you click through to the bug reporting link it leads you on a bit of a circle never actually taking you to a "help desk".<br/>

I have spent the better part of the last two weeks trying to get a solid game rolling but no luck, something inevitably ...

I've been getting GxHab and GxBo errors every time I use the editor, would this apply to this situation aswell?

Trying to chase down tech support is a bit like getting milk from snake [:@]

<t> Going to give this a bump as I am currently getting this error myself under very similar circumstances, I added a new independent colony via the editor then decided against it and removed it.<br/>

I bought this game at release to support developers making these types of games, there just ...
