1.0.3 Public Beta Issues

[barniewhittle]

Hi

Never had any issues with 1.0.2 but noticed the following with the beta:

1. I originally moved my old save games from the 1.0.2 folder to the 1.0.3 but this caused CTDs. So opened games from 1.0.2 folder instead. This worked. You may need some 'instructions' on how to handle old save games with new version. Not obvious.

2. In large busy game clicked on pop up saying that new race had been discovered and got following error message. Middle box in diplomacy screen now replaced with white box with red cross. White box remains even if load new game. The race concerned (Combined Malastari Enclave) is one that's been in this game for ages, but DW now seems to think its new. Reloading save game and clicking on this known race in the diplomacy screen produces same error.

... really good game by the way....

************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /> </configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

don't look at the details, look at the original box, see if it says "out of memory"

Hi b whittle

Are you please able to upload your savegame for us to look at? Instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2415085
