Looks like a simple bug - inspection shows no tech graphic 126.png

************** 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.

Also missing:

68.png (Water Detox Methods)
127.png (Ammo Printer)

(And 10.png (Furnaces), but I guess it won't come up until the Tech 1-2 starts...)

Edit: A workaround is to make ( / copy and rename) your own tech images with these filenames in the meantime.

[Bellrock]

I am getting the same error

The crash appears at the beginning of a new turn, as you are reviewing the events at the start of the turn. I usually get to review the first couple of the events, then when continuing to the next a crash to desktop occurs (as shown in png file). Typically I can reload the game and continue, but will get a similar crash again at a later random turn which can be anywhere from 5 to 20 turns later. I am receiving a number of these crash thru out my game-play.

I am getting the same error

The crash appears at the beginning of a new turn, as you are reviewing the events at the start of the turn. I usually get to review the first couple of the events, then when continuing to the next a crash to desktop occurs (as shown in png file). Typically I can reload the game and continue, but will get a similar crash again at a later random turn which can be anywhere from 5 to 20 turns later. I am receiving a number of these crash thru out my game-play.

The crash happens whenever one of these techs with a missing tech image - Water Detox Methods, Ammo Factory, Ammo Printer - would be discovered or researched, because the VID screen wants to show the image while reporting on it. Vic probably just forgot to add the images to the uploaded beta.

Because discovery is random, the reason reloading works for you is probably that you discovered some other tech by chance.

The reason I mentioned the workaround (going to \graphics\shadow\complex1\tech and copying and renaming some images so that 68.png, 126.png and 127.png exist) is that Vic is currently on a vacation so it might take a while to fix this.

[Vic]

Will be fixed in subversion J. Thanks for reporting and sorry for the hassle!
