Crash when modyfing startup.ini

[Orzelek]

I tried to mod hyperspace speed in startup.ini. My setup.ini looks like this after the change:

Code: Select all

'Distant Worlds startup settings
 
 'screenwidth 1024
 'screenheight 768
 hyperdrivespeed 1.0

When I try to start the game after this change it crashes with stopped working message. Details from message given below:

Let me know if you need more info (or translation since it's in polish like my Win7 install).

Issue is reproducible - with modified startup.ini it will always crash. Reverting the change causes game to launch correctly again.

I actually fixed the issue. Since in my locale settings separator of decimal places is "," not "." the line with hyperspace speed needs to have "1,0" in it for application to start correctly.
