Official v7.00 Bugs Reporting Thread

[sloanjh]

Well, I don't know what I did. All I did that I do know is close Aurora from the main bar without closing all the other windows. Now I get the following 380 error then the 3201 (infinitely) whenever I try to open Aurora, I cant even play anymore . I'll try to retry it after a computer restart, but if that doesn't work I may have to uninstall then reinstall. Sadly, no, the restart didn't work. However this time I got a dialogue to see Aurora_Wrapper.log in the C drive, so I'll take a look at what that has for me.

My guess is that you got unlucky and corrupted your database.  Try replacing it with a backup copy and restart....

That happened to me. And I was curious so I tried around until I found out what causes that. Here are the stps to reproduce the bug.

Using the provided clean database here, so no idea if that happens with the other database as well. I activated in the main game launch window the option "NPRs activate other NPRs" Then saved the options. Started the game, quit, restarted. And then that problem happens. Solution for me was to delete and re-extract the database. No idea if there is a non destructive option.

Did you recently change that option too?

Automatic detection seems to be broken, every new game I've started fails as soon as I set it to auto.

Yes I did actually. Now I'm scared cause I did it again after my reinstall (didn't see your post), but I have yet to close the game for fear of that happening again, so now I never want to close it until a hotfix fixes it.

I don't even know what happened. I was just adding modules (engineering spaces to be exact) to the ship, when this happened.
Version is 7.00.

Error screenshot attached with the class design window just in case it's my fault.
It followed with errors in UpdateGameLog (with same id) continuing infinitely until terminated process.

Dump Question: You did update BOTH the executable AND the database?

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Sorry for the delay in answering on this thread. Work is a little mad at the moment so I will get to it in the next few days. Sounds like you should avoid using auto-detect for the moment and I suggest any major campaigns wait for v7.1.

[GreatTuna]

Of course I did. I doubt the game would run at all if I didn't.
That aside, I think I know where the problem lies.
After going to Aurora folder to check the database, I found that the database became 2GB big!

I've seen this a few times.  It goes into an infinite loop, and after I kill it I see all of my officers getting reassigned.

Error in CreateGameLog

Manually create a C:\Logs directory/folder for Aurora to use.

Ah, interesting.  The portable wrapper script is creating a link (junction) pointing to a Logs directory in my installation folder, which is missing.  Thanks!

Here's another "bug" though; I have an administrator named "Adele Desjardins (surname)".  Probably the "(surname)" bit should be removed from the name list.

So one of the civilian ships on the left just rammed into one of the hostile ships on the right. . .  Didn't know my ships were 200m km big

Reactor design option in tech window. There are two entries for size 1.

Error in RecoverSurvivors
Error 3421 generated by DAO.Field
Data Type conversion error

Not sure if this is a bug, but combat ships ramming commercial shipping doesnt seem like a good strategy.
