Title: v6.43 Patch
Post by: Steve Walmsley on June 04, 2014, 01:09:08 PM

Important! This patch can only be applied to v6.40 or later. If you try upgrading any other version you will end up with a lot of error 91s and have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out.

This is NOT a database patch so if you upgrade you won't lose your saved game. Just unzip the Aurora.exe file into the installation directory, overwriting the file of the same name.

This is a bug-fix patch to correct the more significant bugs from v6.42.

There was a bug in the version I first uploaded so I fixed it this morning. If you had a problem relating to install directories, it should be fixed now.

Impeccible timing.  I came to work today, wondered why it was so empty and then realized it's a national holiday today.  Aurora time!

Only downside is I'm out of coffee.

Anyway, what were the significant bugs? ;)

Many thanks anyway!

Can't remember all of them :) but included fixes for underground infrastructure and combat drop modules. Also there was a bug where completing a research project by downloading tech would delete the receiving colony if the tech was in the research queue. Found that when Callisto disappeared :)

Also, you will have less failed recoveries in alien ruins. The chance of recovery is equal to the morale of the construction brigade * xenology bonus of commander. This used to be rolled on a D200. Now it is D150. Of course, the fact I was getting hardly any intact installations from the ruins on Sparta is just a coincidence.

I downloaded the newest patch, but I got a 3201 error when I tried to run it.

The error numbers are from Microsoft. What was the whole message and what was the title of the pop up box?
