Just reinstalled Aurora on my new version of Windows 10, installed up to version 7. 00, and when I try to open the system view tab I get an error 713.  It says I am missing the MSSTDFMT. DLL file, is this an error with my install or something else?

Error text:
"Error 713 was generated by Aurora
Class not registered.
You need the following file to be installed on your am machine, MSSTDFMT. DLL.
Please report to etc etc. . . "

I have reinstalled several times, even from a fresh zip download.  same issue.  I have also tried to add the DLL file manually and have been unable to.  Is anyone else encountering this issue with Windows 10? I did not have it with my version on Windows 7.

My game is not unplayable, but I do like the system view. . .  and I am worried that there would be other issues with missing that DLL in future.

MSSTDFMT.DLL isn't installed by default on newer versions of windows(anything past vista iirc), so you need to install it.

Installing simple shutdown timer(and you should be able to uninstall it straight after without issue) has, at least in previous versions of windows worked to get the dll installed.

Bug in game, on creating a new game and immediately going to race details, an error is thrown stating that it can't find the race picture and that the last known name for file was Race327.bmp.

The default pictures in the race folder only go up to 212 IIRC, and I saw you included a Race350 in the latest patch, were there more pictures I missed in a patch somewhere? Or is it taking the highest numbered file and randomly picking a number lower or equal to that and it's just hitting the big empty stretch that is there since putting the 350 file into the directory?

It worked excellent

Treebiters images pack contains 272 images, then there's nadias expanded version which has 420 pictures. Look in the graphics sub under the installation forum.

I've already got Treebiters pack, but I'm not seeing Nadias anywhere in the graphics packs sub. Do you have a link to where it is? I'd still consider this a bug though as following the installation/update instructions wouldn't have you installing the graphics packs.

Another bug, once a fighter has been added as part of the preferred loadout of a class on the class design window, it can no longer be removed from being part of the loadout. Even if all hangar space is removed, the strike craft still cannot be deleted from the preferred loadout.

The number of minerals being sent from civilian mining complexes doesn't seem right.  The amount of minerals doesn't correctly add up to the total for each packet.  It rather seems that the total somehow is calculated over all civilian mining complexes: The first mining complex sends 41 tons, the 2nd one (by order of establishment) sends 7 tons, but the total reads 48, the 3rd is sending 20 tons and total reads 68 and so on. . .

Also Ceres' orbital path is classed as "Dwarf Planet" and gets disabled when unchecking the "Dwarf Planet" option in Display, but both the body itself and the name only disappear when unchecking the "Planet" option.  Same goes for multiple other "Dwarf Planets" in Sol system.

But... 41 +7 = 48. And 48 + 20 = 68...

[alvin853]

But. . .  41 +7 = 48.  And 48 + 20 = 68. . .

That is correct, but the 3rd mining outpost is sending 20 tons, not 68.  The mineral packet still reads 68 tons, even though it only contains 20 tons.

[alvin853]

Abandoning a colony that still houses a team causes an infinite error loop. 

[Erik L]

That is correct, but the 3rd mining outpost is sending 20 tons, not 68.  The mineral packet still reads 68 tons, even though it only contains 20 tons.

If it is all from the same planet, and in the same increment, it is the same packet.

[alvin853]

If it is all from the same planet, and in the same increment, it is the same packet.

It is not from the same body, that's the point. . .  The packet from the 3rd mining colony reads as 68 tons, even though it only contains 20 tons, for each increment.  But the sum of the packets from colonies 1 through 3 is 68 tons, so it seems to be displaying the wrong number.

Engine damage reduces max speed to 1, but does not set current speed to 1.   Bug saved my gravsurvey ship

EDIT: On that note, I did a conventional start and it doesn't appear I can research the tractor beam tech.  Is there a pre-req? There isn't one documented anywhere.  Thanks!

Do you have Jump Point Theory researched? That is the basis for 99% of the tech.
