v 6.43

I do not know if this is a Bug or WAD so am reporting the info :-

I am in contact with 2 NPR races , both of whom I am now allied with and also I allow Trade access which means ships of both NPR's have free transit about my colonies.
However the NPR's are at war with each other , which results in many battles in different systems.

Recently a battle occurred in the Sol System right at Earth ( all my vessels being docked and passive orbiting Earth ) resulting in wrecks appearing of both sides - I took no part in the fighting and have assisted neither side. HOWEVER some of my ships in orbit and also some of my civilian freighters received missile hits from one or both of the NPR races ( I could not tell which race was the culprit ) resulting in destruction of some of my military and civilian ships.

 On the diplomatic screen my stance towards the NPR's has changed to hostile , yet both NPR's stance towards myself is still at " Allied ".

I report this as I do not know whether an Allied NPR should be able to "accidentely " or "purposely" inflict damage on anothers fleet , if they are in close proximity when a conflict with an enemy fleet commences.

As I did not know if this was a bug or not , i have had to reload a save from some 6 months earlier Star Time and then disallow both allied NPR's from having Trade access to my colonies. Hopefully there will not know be a 3rd party battle around Earth.

Would a stray missile with active sensors have hit one of your ships? If it had lost it's original target do they not seek out the nearest new target not of their own empire?

[JacenHan]

It's likely the missiles had sensors, and were seeking out the nearest ship that was not their own empire's. The same thing happened to Steve in the Solarian Empires game, and he decided to leave it as a "feature" to give some spontaneity to the game.

You can either try to rebuild relations or use it as a casus belli to to conquer an alien empire.

Collatoral damage/Friendly fire.

[Kytuzian]

I keep getting 'Error' 76 every few times I pass time, and then if I hit 'Okay' enough, it switches to 'Error 424'. If I close Aurora, then it gives me 'Error 3420'. I can kill the process and then restart the game, but it's incredibly annoying.

Does anyone know why this is happening/how I can fix it? I've tried reinstalling, but that didn't fix it either.

You or a NPR simply did something that the game doesn't like. Sadly the only thing you can do is delete the game (the save file not aurora).

I believe it must have been something I did, in that case, as I deleted the saves and started a new game, and had the bug again. Any idea on what specific activity might cause this?

At the top of the box which says Error 76, it should say something. That'll help narrow things down.

Here is the exact error message:


If it means path in that a ship is trying to go somewhere, it can't be one of mine, as I don't have any ships yet.

Thanks for your help.

My guess is that it's the file path on the operating system.  The clue is "CreateGameLog" - Aurora creates log files in a directory somewhere (unfortunately I don't remember the location, but it's buried in the boards somewhere).  I suspect you've either got that directory write protected so that Aurora doesn't have permissions to open it, or it doesn't exist at all (hence the "Path not found").

You didn't install into Program Files, did you?  That's generally a bad idea due to protection issues....

I did and mine is fine. I did some sneaky stuff that I cant remember to be of help.

[Kytuzian]

I just used the Wrapper, so yes, it was installed to Program Files. Would it help running it in admin mode, or should I just try reinstalling it somewhere? I believe I also installed (on my other computer) to Program Files and had no issues, but I'll test it tomorrow and see what happens.

[Kytuzian]

Running in admin mode seems to have fixed it, been going for around 10 years now, thanks everyone!
