After searching the 6.0 changes thread I didn't see a mention of this...

Terraforming rate is now showing up under Biology/Genetics for research.

That is intended - I'll update the thread.

With the new version, attempting to open the system information (f9) window generates the following errors:

Error 53 was generated by Aurora
File not found: 'Planetjpeg\a11.jpg'

-------------------------

Error 53 was generated by Aurora
File not found: 'Planetjpeg\b20.jpg'

-------------------------

Run-time error '53':

File not found: 'Planetjpeg\a11.jpg'

-------------------------

The program then closes.

Manually adding the missing pictures appears to fix the problem for me; it may have been a problem with my install/patching process.

Just installed, attempted to make a new game:

Error 3061 was generated by DAO. Database
Too few Parameters.  Expected 1.

Followed by this repeating:

Error 91 was generated by Aurora
Object variable or with block variable not set.

Then I need to force close the program.   Gonna keep trying different setting to see if that helps.

This usually means either you missed a step in the installation process or you live in a country where the decimal separator is a comma rather than a period. If its the latter, you'll have to change your regional settings.

If it's not the decimal separator, reread the install instructions and just make sure you followed every step: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,1830.0.html

starting a new game using the spacemaster start throws up an error to the effect of "can't have a race name of 0 chars" and then a mess of related errors.  Regular Sol start seems to work fine for me.

Trying to do a conventional start without the "no missile bases" option checked yields endless many

Error in FillShipMagazine
Error 3021 was generated by DAO.   Recordset
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Missiles'.   

Forget to update the ICBM bases?

EDIT: It seems like you can click through them and when the game eventually does start your ICBM bases will be devoid of missiles.

Hmm, curious. . .   I just unzipped the update into the old Aurora folder but I'll attempt a fresh install to see if that fixes it.   Never had an issue beforehand concerning this, I do use decimals so this shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the help.

OK, so it wasn't the region settings but due to the fact that I'm running Win7 and my previous working install was in the x86 Programs directory.   The original install worked but updating caused it to freak out.   So I installed in another location.

Solved.

Here's a minor one.  The description in the Power Efficiency/Power Reduction reads "for engines and power plants", but I believe the tech line is now only used for power plants.

I have the same problem as well

Looks like the ICBM is no longer in the DB. I had a DB crash during development and I thought I had receoverd everything but obviously not

I suggest using the no missile bases option until I update the DB

Another small one: In the Task Groups (F12) window, Luna appears under Venus rather than Earth when the 'moons' box is ticked.

EDIT: And another one. I'm getting a divide by zero error every 5-day increment from the Geological Team surveying Apollo. I notice it and the other near-Earth asteroids have diameters of 0 in the system view.
