Seemingly without reason I received the following error message:
"Error in DesignLaser
Error 3021 was generated by DAO.Field
No current record.
Please report to http.//aurora 2.pentarch. org/ index. php/board,11.0.html"
I am just over 25 years into a game. I have generated an NPR via the Add NPR command, but that was over 10 years ago in game.
The error repeatedly comes up when closed. Frantic clicking has resulted in different error messages, including:
"Error in AutomatedDesign
Error 3201 was generated by DAO.Recordset
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TechSystem'.
Please report to..."
and:
"Error in AutomatedDesign
Error 11 was generated by Aurora
Division by zero
Please report to..."
The flood of errors eventually subsides, allowing me to return to play after several cycles of these latter two messages taking turns popping up. Prior to this error message two-step there may have been other messages mixed in with the initial burst of DAO.Field messages that I was spam-clicking to close out. I didn't notice the messages changed until I had hit the DAO.Recordset one.
EDIT: I restored from a backup I had, on the off chance that my database would have lasting errors in it. At roughly the same time in game I got the same cascade of errors, and this time I paid better attention. In addition to the DesignLaser message I got:
A bunch of DesignTurret errors
An Error in CreateTurret
"Error 3315 was generated by DAO.Recordset, Field 'TechSystem.Name' cannot be a zero-length string. Please report to..."
Another CreateTurret error referencing the 'ShipDesignComponents.name' but otherwise identical to the TechSystem.Name error
"Error in CreateTurret, Error 3201 was generated by DAO.Recordset, You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TechSystem'. Please report to..."
More Error 11 Division by zero errors, each followed by AutomatedDesign 3201 errors, as before
