Official v5.40 Bugs Thread

[georgiaboy1966]

I get error and crash on my win7, I-7 64bit home computer.

but my win7 Eeepc met book will run it no problem, except the reduce size is not working/or is not small enough for it. I am still having to use resize/enable to see whole page.

I am having the same problem.  Install on a desktop Vista 32 machine and on a XP laptop.  Same problem.  Both installed into the program folder.  I made sure to remove the existing copies from 5.3 and deleted them out of the recyle bin before copying in the new 5.4 files.  Did not make a difference.

Hi,

I also get the error 91 on my Vista 64 system.  I patched a working 5. 30 version by replacing the exe and the database.

Sincerely

I'm having the same start up problems with version 5. 4 as follows:-

"Error in Form load
Error 76 was generated by Aurora
Path not found"

This occurs once.

Then continual errors as follows:-

"Error in UpdateGameLog
Error 91 was generated by Aurora
Object variable or with block variable not set"

I had installed version 5. 3 and that ran okay.  I went back and installed 5. 2 (okay) and extracted 5. 4 (not okay)

I deleted both files (exe and database file) and extracted 5. 4 - same errors.

same problem Vista 32,
l:\games\aurora

I wonder if there could be some sort of underlying dll versioning at the root of these issues? I never let Aurora overwrite my version of the various dlls it wants to install, as I'm running on machines with VS2010.

UPDATE: New version of 5.4 patch fixes problems for me. Yay!

Same here, win7 64bit (c:\games\aurora), I get the opening error with v5.3 (error 76) but plays ok after I dismiss the error box, with v5.4 I get error 76 (path not found) which i can dismiss, but its followed by error 91 (Object variable or With block variable not set) and I cant get rid of that one, it just replaces the error message if I click ok or the x to get rid of it, need to kill the aurora process to stop it. I patched the 5.3 version, and later replaced the v5.4 files with the v5.3 files again and it works fine (once past error 76) - v5.2 worked as well - no errors at all with that version.

OK, this is a bit of a long shot but I have replaced the patch file using a slightly modified exe. Try downloading it again and please let me know if it fixes the problem

Still the same Steve. Altho, not sure I have the modified version - I just checked the zips and size, modified time and hashes are identical.

Should be a different file creation time and a slightly different size. I'll download it myself to see if the new version is being picked up

Fixed the problem for me.

Cleared my cache and re-downloaded and it works perfectly now, thanks Steve!

Great - problem solved. There was some debug code in the exe and I think it was confusing the program as to which directory to use.

Hi Steve,
I would like to thank you for including the reduced size windows, however there is a problem with them.   
When I tried them on my 1280x800 laptop, the windows were made smaller but they were still cut off.
I tried them with a 1440x900 monitor attached and both the full and reduced size windows worked fine.

My operating system is vista 32 bit and I have attached a screen shot of one of the affected windows.

Thank you for your time
