CTD Open Beta Patch v1.03-beta2

Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2020 8:15 pm

CTD while running Open Beta Patch v1.03-beta2 with a savegame from original install.

For reference, I am running a Win 10 Pro 64bit, Intel i7-1065G7, 16GB RAM. It is a Surface Pro 7, connected to 2560x1600 display monitor via USB-C. That's Intel Iris Plus integrated graphics.

Per image, answering a diplomatic decision. Clicked B. Exception with stack trace.

This exception is immediately reproducible from a save reload.

Answering A or B to the decision results in the same exception and stack trace.

As an aside, written in VB? Impressive you put this level of horsepower together with it. I wouldn't have thought it possible.

Thanks. Did you delete your metrics.txt file by any chance?

Quite weird bug. But will add protective code to prevent this from happening in next Open Beta.

And yes I coded in VB.Net
Its basically the same as C# after compilation.

best wishes,
Vic

Maybe. [8D]

Is that important?
