Thanks!

ORIGINAL: Fishers of Men

Downloaded and installed!! Can I continue playing a 1.7.0.10 saved game?

Can you? I suppose I can try, although I've read of some weirdness opening save files with new versions.

Yap, it's no guarantee that you'll have a stable game with older save games but it's worth a try if you really want to.
Anyway, great work....v12 already, Elliot must still be on steroids [:)]

I am continuing to play with a 1.7.0.10 save, and no weirdness has appeared....... YET.

I have 2 errors to report...

Thanks for 12 have enjoyed playing a few full games already

Nice patch. My 1.7.0.10 Dhayut game was repeatedly crashing at the same point each time I loaded from save. I downloaded and installed 1.7.0.12 and voila! No more crashes.[&o]

havent played dw in a couple of months time to give this new beta a whirl, had a very quick game the other day noticed a few civilian ships stopped in deep space doing nothing, but i think thats normal right?

Jezwhywhy, civilian ships stopped in deep space is not a common thing. Check and see if they are damaged and lost their hyperdrive. If they are important to you, send a construction ship to repair them. But it is true that some civilian ships do hang out at planets in an idle statis for a while.

Civilian ships can end up stopped in deep space when they have no mission and flee from pirates/monsters or hostile fleets.  They will remain there until assigned a mission.  Perhaps this is what happened in your game jezwhywhy?

yeah likely, i started another game with the same thing happening.

The new v1.07.13 Public Beta update is now available. Please see the first post in this thread for the latest change list.

Regards,

- Erik
