I do wonder what exactly this means:
"- now have less freighters built by private economy, especially in large empires"
Were there just too many useless freighters built in those large empires, so that it bogged down the economy unnecessarily without any added transportation effect (e.g. some freighters uselessly sat down and did nothing)?

A supply ship armed to the teeth no less. [8D]

Hmmm....downloaded the patch off the play screen check update button....worked fine except for that when I went to load a saved game all my saves were gone? Did I do something wrong?

Nope - But the patch changed the savegame folder.
%appdata%\Roaming\Code Force Limited\Distant Worlds

Each new version has its own folder for saved games, but you can load games from previous versions by navigating down a folder, finding the previous version's folder and loading a game from there.

Thanks for the explanation...no harm done, just started a new game. My congrats to Matrix for this outstanding addition to an already great game.

fast forward the next two years without the crash reappearing, so we can say that crash has indeed been solved.
The bug probably is not fixed (unless the change log is incomplete), it's probably just the IA behavior leading to the crash that changed enough so it does not trigger it. But you did well to warn of the change, so that the developer can know how to trigger it. Better yet (if you did not already) you can warn them in the original post.

No, it has been solved. I have played for 20 more years now, without any single problem, plus Elliot himself answered the original post stating that the savegame I sent them helped in tracking down and solving the crash (it was an OutOfIndex Exception), so I am completely sure now the issue is solved.

Does 1.9.0.3 work with 1.9.0.2 saved games?

Yes it does. But beware that some of the the new fixes will not apply to a savegame from the
previous version. Start a new game for all the fixes to take effect.

Do we know which, if any, fixes do not apply to an existing save?
I got mine set up just perfectly. It makes me sad to start over...[:(]

All I can say is read the change log of the new build. If there are not any fixes,
changes or crash kills that pertain to the savegame you were playing, you should
be okay (hopefully). Although a fresh game start is the only way to be sure of having
the latest updates work for you.

Wow, I don't expect to get the update so soon...
I loaded my save game (from version 1902) and I see that the frozen research problem solved ...
Thank you so much!
