Alright, I'll try that. Also, it seems like bacons ctrl+alt+right click isn't working.

Tested the fix Alvek and it didn't work. Worth a shot.

Note to self: Gizureans, Dhayuts, Boskarans, and Sulken are not working properly in this mod.

Found a bug where ships will only fly around in circles constantly after being provoked to flee.

Upload saved game somewhere, I haven't seen behavior like this.

Hiya.

I quite enjoy the Expansion Mod, at least what I've been able to play of it. I managed to get one good game going, but unfortunately then I had issues and ended up having to reinstall DWU (I have since learned it was the DX dependency problem). However now I have a bit of a new issue. Vanilla+DWUR, I have no problems. But if I install the Expansion Mod, the game runs for... Maybe 5 minutes? And then it closes itself. Or crashes. I'm not particularly sure which, but something's happening. Whatever it is, it's not dumping a crash log to Documents\My Games\Distant Worlds Universe. So I'm fairly uncertain of what I should do to fix it given I can't properly diagnose it. It runs for almost (if not exactly) the same amount of time, every time, before just going out. And it's not dependent on a universe being loaded. It'll happen on the main menu, or after shutting a game down and trying to start fresh. I'm at a total loss, which sucks because I really want to enjoy the game with these magnificent additions.

Check "Event Viewer - Windows Logs" for errors, in some cases windows logs such errors there.
I will create experimental version for you with added code to try to catch this problem.

@Raynebow

Try with this exe, this version should catch almost all errors.
If messagebox pop up then select it and copy text with Ctrl+C

Thanks for the personal attempt. I actually got a game going for a good while there before it crashed. Unfortunately no logs or popups. I'll go digging in the Windows lookup when I've got the patience to do so.

Hey, I really want to try this mod, but when I extract the 7z file, it always show me a void, 0MB file and can't play anyway. Do someone know the solution?

Check if unlocked zip after downloading.
If you still have problem DM me on discord, I will send you file there.

Hey Alvek! Thanks for keeping things going, friend!

I did a total reinstall of DWU because even my game was crashing on startup.

Even after that, I noticed that Expansion Mod 1.09.05 was hanging on startup. But when I downloaded your 1.09.d executable linked earlier in this thread, everything worked fine.

Hopefully you're able to incorporate all your changes you have in that new executable in your next Expansion Mod release.

I just dropped DWUR 0.9.8 with a few housekeeping changes, fixed ship scaling and all that.

Hope you are well

I know about that bug, haven't figured out where it is or how to fix it for now.
1.09.d version is not optimized and would be slower than it could be, code is same as 1.09.05 except few try\catch to look for errors

Cool, cool. All good my friend! I put some comments in my thread for people to try the 1.09.d file if they're having trouble.

Thank you for your work

Thanks for your excellent mod!

Do you have any plans to incorporate the Fleet Template or Retrofit Path feature from DW2 into the Expansion Mod?

I thought about implementing Fleet template, not sure about retrofit path.
