v5.56/v5.60 Official Bugs Thread

[Zook]

Barnard's Star System, one sun, two planets, nothing else there, i. e.  no asteroids.  When I click "Asteroids" in the All Bodies tab, I get an error (2 parameters expected).

Error 6 in GetMaxPotentialSensorRange. Only when the increments shrink down to 5 seconds, I assume a spoiler ship is responsible. playing around with the SM designs for craft that I think might be causing this doesn't really seem to do anything.

Same here. Usually I get two of these one after another. Error occurs independent of increment time.

I started to get these errors some time into the game when they persisted for all increments. At one point I got a couple of 30s interrupts, after which the errors stopped for a couple of month game time.

So I assume its a spoiler or NPR with a rather large sensor. I assume the ship (or tracking station) that was causing it got destroyed in a fight thus ending the errors until another ship of the class got built (or the tracking stations were rebuilt).

hey guys.  i'm on win7, just learning this "game" and installed 5. 6, but when I try to open economics I can see it open on my task bar, but aero shows a blank page and clicking on it doesn't do anything.  it works completely fine with 5. 54 though.  as a beginner I can barely wrap my head around the system map screen let alone recognize additions in 5. 6, so I guess this is more of a heads up than anything.  thanks so much for creating this apparent masterpiece.

Did you go to the menu option to reset window positions? It may currently be off screen.

5.60: In the Research window, I had the cost of Gamma Shields listed as "121/4000". I then paid 121 points to research them.

I tried that and shorter window size and it still didn't show up.

That's because they were already partially researched, either through disassembling other technology, or because you worked on them earlier and cancelled. That's as intended (unless you're absolutely sure there is no other way you could have acquired tech points for that tech).

This only works if the windows in question are not actually open, so start up the game anew and hit the "reset windows" button as your first move.

(Steve has some unreal screen real estate and has the window draged all over the place, thats why they show not up on a single screen system)

Aw damn now I feel like a jackass. . .  That solved it! Thanks a lot guys.

When I scrap a ship, the missiles in its magazines are not unloaded but disappear (or are they scrapped as well?).

v5.6

I have a ship that is deploying sensor buoys in a system.  The first buoy was deployed successfully after entering the system through a gate and moving to a non-gated jump point.

When I attempt to use the Msl Launch function at the next jump point in the same system, I get a "(Launcher) cannot be fired as the ship is currently suffering from the effects of transit." error.

Only one buoy is loaded into one launcher. Changing the loaded launcher from one to another gave same error. Progressing the game 5 days down gave same error.

Only after having the ship leave the system (though gate) and come back did the Msl Launch function work.

I ordered a ship refuel from a different task group in the system. This TG was destroyed before the other ship reached it. But the order was still active. That caused an error which required me to kill the process. Of course I don't remember the exact error message. But it was one those, you know, little error message windows, with just a brief message in it. I'd say it was about three inches wide.

No don't feel bad, its my fault. I really should ensure all the windows are in "normal" positions before a new release.

Hello, i am encountering an error i can't seem to find anywhere on this forum.

This is the error message i get when i try to enter "system information F9".

Code: [Select]

Error in LaunchSystemWindow
Error 7 was generated by Aurora
Out of memory
Please report to ...
I get this error message in 5. 60 and 5. 54.
Everything else works perfectly but this basically prevents me from playing the game.
Now i don't think my RAM is the problem as i have about 4 gigabytes free all the time.
My OS is Win7 64 bit Ultimate.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Orders ETA does not account for black holes slowing down my ships. That can really screw up your fuel supply plans.
