I had played for almost ten years, starting on the year 2050. When I incremented 30 days on December 21, 2059, I got this error:

Then another error after clicking "OK":

It happens every time I increment a day or more past Dec. 25th.
EDIT: I made another game, set the Truce time to one year, and the same errors came up after trying to increment past December. So it has to do with that. . .

The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
The name of the company is Waters-Wilkinson Heavy Industries (randomly generated) and the name of the power plant is Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Technology PB-1. So both names are 73 characters long.
Steve,
Something very minor - in your December 30 post re changes in v6.4 ( Mineral Generation ) you stated that the minimum amount of minerals on the Homeworld would be 50,0000 and accessibility 4. In my new 6.4 game Earth has indeed got a mineral accessibility of at least 4 but only 2 of the mineral quantities exceed the 50,000 minimum , the rest range from 29,250 to 47,800.
DavidR
PS Running v6.4 according to the setup screen , when clicking on "About" in the main menu screen the version shows v6.3.
Hopefully not out of sequence but I didn't see this in the change log: not all civilian craft follow the new LP navigation setup. Specifically witnessed on a harvester that tried to take the 1000 year route to a source from the B component to the A component of a binary. Small and Large freighters and colony ships of 6.3 all appear to follow the new navigation settings.
Destroyed Active sensors still show a range ring on the system map, despite not detecting contacts.
Another possible bug, need confirmation from someone else.
The first system I explored without the SM chooses destination box being checked was an NPR homeworld.
Edit : My SMd Ctrl F9 screen goes #0, 2, 359

It is possible to find an NPR home world on your first transit.
Do you mean one of your own active sensors or one from an enemy ship? If enemy, should vanish after next increment. If not, please let me know.

EDIT2: Quick note, with patch there seems to be a new problem with civilian vessels. 2 civilian ships keep hovering over my homeworld (2 small freighters) and every month I get error saying "[ship name] Failed to load infrastructure on Eath. Please reschedule the orders for this fleet"
I obviously can't reschedule orders for civilian ships (unless that can be done in SM and I'm just not aware), I also don't have an infrastructure supply contract on earth so I don't know what even gave the ships this order.
You can clear the orders of specific civilian ships on the Shipping Lines window

The 3 ships of the class below are flying around with a Current speed of 3750 km/s, while their Max speed is 2500 km/s. I did not discover this before a grav sensor failed which somehow caused a message that damage to the ship has slowed it to 2500 km/s.

If you created a design that went 3750 and built/SM'd some of the ships in but then changed the design (added more weights or removed engines) that reduced the 'designed' speed to 2500 then your existing ships will stay at the original speed until you do some thing to change it (like have it picket a WP at 1km/s or it takes damage).
Major Bug
I cannot TF Train any of my ships they are stuck at 0%. Was a Spacemaster start and some of the ships was SM added, but all ships cannot train, tried one group for 3 years was still at 0 %
Edit: Started a new game and spacemaster and training is now working will try and back track why training did not work on the other. I was renaming, promoting and demoting a lot of the officers perhaps this impacted the training somehow. Will try and replicate the bug on another SM creation
Think I've found a bit of a gap with the new intercept code. I have vessel 1 heading back towards earth and vessel 2 trying to head towards vessel 1. Vessel 1 will reach earth before vessel 2 reaches vessel 1 however the intercept is ignoring this fact and sending vessel 2 on a course that is miles from Earth. I think this is fine in the case of tracking to a hostile but taking final destination into account for friendlies might be a good idea.
Am at war here with 4.1 as well despite a truce time of 10 years. It looks like colonies on moons (started on Io here) might not be included.
More complex than it sounds :)
What if the destination is another moving fleet, or a moon around a planet, orbiting a star that is orbiting a second star, that in turn is orbiting a third star. While its unlikely that would be the case very often, I would still have to code for every situation
Are you at war with a race that started in the same system?
Yup, this was about 1 week into the game and one of the 3 Earth powers did attack my poor defenseless homeworld (Io).
I kept the original setup and started another game with me as the 4th power on Earth and a new NPR on Io and once my geo-scouts reached Io they were destroyed by the NPR there.
The reoccuring theme seems to be Io and a player race. No problems with any of the other races.
I will try with setting up on Earth again, but leaving Io empty this time.
I don't know if this is a bug from earlier versions 6. 3 being the 1st that I have played.It feels like the older bug introduced when the life support changes were first implemented, a persistent little heisenbug that's resisted every effort at solution. In the present version, can be fixed in the same way: Delete the offending PDCs generated at game start, replace them with a new set of PDCs in SM Mode.
But when I started a conventional empire with missile bases all the 'crew' on them started dying from exposure.
This kept going untill everybody in them was dead
Stupid question I know, but did you have a commander for the Task Force to which the task groups belonged?
Upon advancing time by 5 days, I get this error:
I installed 6.30 using the AcidWeb's portable download, but updated to 6.40 and 6.41 using Steve's exe and database downloads, and not the 6.41 portable version.
Clicking OK results in 4 consecutive Error 91s then this same window again. The pattern of this window followed by four 91s continues for some time then the turn processes normally. This seems to happen every construction cycle since it happens once for every time I press "5 days".
I have met an alien race who decided to share geo and grav survey data but I (think I) have not located their homeworld.
The campaign is about 30 in-game years.
Restoring a save from prior to this then playing up to this point generated the same error at about the same in-game time.
There has been some shortened intervals prior to this error.
This may be a preexisting issue that I cannot find information on but I don't seem to recall having this problem previously. Civilian colony ships do not seem to take into account available space on a colony and respond with a somewhat reasonable action. If the colony is over-populated to start off they won't deliver new but they will happily overpopulate the snot out of it in the following situation:
Situation: one fledgling colony 200+ days travel for my civilian cargo and colony ships. Colony is a high cost body that hasn't been terraformed into shape yet. Civilian cargo ships deliver a few infrastructure to the colony and create some head-space for new colonists. The following time increment the ENTIRE civilian colony ship fleet sets sail. We are talking a few million colonists launch from orbit and head toward a colony that has just had infrastructure delivered that made enough space for about 50,000. Half a year+ later they are dumped planetside to the groan of civilian administrators and the delight of morticians colony-wide. The population change percentage goes into the -500% range and the body goes into stability chaos. Immediately cargo ships grab available infrastructure and head for the 200 day trip to the colony. Of course it is no where near enough. By the time they reach the planet 90%+ of the colonists previously delivered have already died. The new infrastructure fixes the problem with the few remaining colonists and creates new population head-room. Rinse, Repeat.
This one colony is now mankinds largest loss of human life ever recorded. Well over 100m people have died in the effort to bring it's population to about 5m. The only way I can stem the tide is to cancel the ship orders every time it happens but that is tedious and a stop-gap solution anyway.

In my community game, a civilian mining colony was established, when I went to look at it the minerals screen was showing that it was expecting usage, this was odd to me, the industry tab showed that the colony was attempting to build 0.6 mines, and 187 Svedlov Anti-Missile Missiles, this design has been created by no players in the game. Not exactly game breaking, but I thought it was quite strange.

Running 6.41 with the launcher on win 7 with Danish as language (, = .).
When I start a game I do rather fast run into an error 76 followed by error 424 "Object required" In the start I could press OK a few times and it would go away, but it seems to grow so there must now be 1000s of errors. If I force the program to quit I get an Error 3420 (UpdateGameLog) "Object not valid or no longer there" (in Danish)

Since I was unable to find a clear answer on how I should install the "base" game and if patches were cumulative or progressive, I am using the 6. 42 Wrapper package by AcidWeb. ( edit: removed link, seems I can't post them )
I am playing with US Language settings and the game is installed under E:\Aurora\
This typically happens at the beginning of every game year, some time in January.

If I click through the errors, nothing bad seems to happen and I can continue playing.
Searching on Error 424 shows that this error, appearing once during the yearly cycle, has been reported many times throughout many versions yet I cannot find any replies detailing any potential fixes.
Is there any way to get a more detailed debug output?
Do you have full read/write rights to E:/ ?
Absolutely. E: is just a local HDD, nothing special. I double checked all directory and file perms, and even went so far as to change ownership from Administrators to my local user.
This is a gaming machine running Win7 64 Ultimate. I have full (as full as you can get with Win7) Administrator rights and the system is not part of a domain or anything like that; full local admin user account.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Aurora in case there was any strange Win7 permission mangling going on (even though it shouldn't be happening outside of system directories) and moved the SteveFire. mdb file over. I got the same error.
Try creating a Logs directory on the root of whichever drive you install to. See if that clears it up.
Bug or feature?
Feature. Whenever combat happens the ticks are almost always slowed down to 5 seconds (like missiles crossing anti-missile defenses). In addition any significant enemy contact update generates an interrupt, even if this is only for NPRs. Basically it means NPR and spoilers (or another Empire) is fighting somewhere, with time progress interrupted by occasional battles and updates of enemy contacts.
At least this is how I understand the problem. This is happening for pretty much everyone during pretty much every campaign (unless you disable NPR races, then it's only you and spoilers).
Unfortunately, you need to make sure your decimal separator is the period (.) and not the comma (,).

It entered an unexplored JP and there was evidence of three wrecks (this being my like third game I assume this means someone else is around). So I set the Exploration Ship to circle the central star going from unexplored survey point to survey point.
It soon detected an intermittent contact with a neutral race. Being an unarmed explorer I didn't initiate any contact.
As soon as my ship got into passive range of the wrecks I got an error:
Error 3078 was generated by DAO. Database
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Wreck'.
Make sure it exists and that its nsame is spelled correctly.

Followed by:

So I am.
Has the underlying DB been corrupted with the table containing the wreck data being lost or borked?
Can I edit the database tables directly to fix it?
If I set the game to run in auto mode and only use 1 hour increments it does not error, but anything greater than that and it errors.

Version 6.42 (also tested in 6.41, which is where I first discovered the bug)This is actually correct. Any jump ship is limited by the size of the ship itself. It can not take a larger ship through a jump point, even if the jump engine is big enough to do the job.
Short form:

I'm running a big game, and recently, it began to give the following any time I tried to open the "Commanders" window:
Error in grdCommanders_SelChange
Error 9 was generated by Aurora
Subscript was out of range.
I looked through the database, and discovered that the problem appears to be associated with commander ID numbers above 100,000.
Might also be connected to potential assignments. Do you have any situation where the list of possible assignments exceeds 1000?Yes, it would appear that this is the problem. I added a few extra officers to the Solarian Empires game on the same DB, and it worked fine.
There is a bug with UI where an insufficient amount doesn't result in negative growth. It's fixed in the next version. Is that the problem here or has the colony magically produced a huge population?
Yes, it would appear that this is the problem. I added a few extra officers to the Solarian Empires game on the same DB, and it worked fine.

Functionally yes it is a limit imposed by 32-bit addressing. (1 byte = 8 bit)
I need to make a small correction, I was using a Visual Studio 2008 reference for data types. It appears that in VB6 Int is a 2-byte field with a range of only -32,768 to 32,767 and Long is a 4-byte field with a range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. To have numeric value any larger Steve would need to use one of the decimal precision data types and accept some inherent range risks.
OK, I will increase the size of the array that holds potential assignments.Excellent. I await with baited breath, as that game's more or less on hold until that's fixed.
Don't you love when Microsoft redefines computer terms?
I discovered the system of Lacalle9352. The system is located to 2 jump points from the Sol system (Sol - Luhman - Lacalle).
I gave to my jump ship the order to jump in Luhman and after to Lacalle, the mission has been accomplished, but I cannot enter in the system. I mean, I cannot see it in the menù on system map, but I can see it on f9 with planets, stars etc etc, but again I cannot fisically enter to it ;(
That scout I mentioned two posts back? It ran out of fuel just short of the hole, and began incessantly complaining about it being unable to execute orders. Which it did not have. Is the black hole movement some sort of hidden order?
AFAICT, the black hole system is frakked.
@Wolfius: That looks like a bug at first, but really isn't one. You stumbled across a laser that uses "advanced laser" beam technology, which can only be found in ruins. It is really weak on early tech grades (thus even the 0 damage), but progresses exponentially and later far surpasses any other weapons max. damage potential. If you are lucky you will find enough of those components that you can learn the tech from disassembling them, after which you can research the rest normally by yourself.

A full reinstall of Aurora didn't resolve the problem, nor has searching of the forums (unless I'm an idiot and missed something obvious).
Win7 x64 if that helps at all.
2) Eighteen captured colony ships disappeared approximately one year after their capture. They were there at the end on one session but on reloading the game there was no task Group and no record in the individual ships screen or Class design screen. I believe them to originally be civilian ships and wonder whether they had come to the end of their 25 year lifespan? I have seen this behavior in other 6.xx versions.
Edit - change that to all captured vessels that were previously civilian ships have disappeared along with their task groups and any other vessel within that task group.

same poblem as axiskiller, papent and langer; logs folder in C: and aurora main folder installed in C:\program files I cannot use 6.43 ;(
Edit: On a side note, the title of the pop up window that appears when you click the SM-only button "Add Units" in the GU Training window is "Create Divisions" rather than "Create Battalion" or "Create Unit." It makes it seem like the unit selector is stuck on Divisional HQ or something like that.
installed the updated update for 6.43 this morning no "bugs" yet.
I did notice a typo does that count as a bug?
technology description for ship to ship tractor beam in the research tab reads
"A tractor beam capable of attaching on ship to another"
should say
"A tractor beam capable of attaching one ship to another"
i looked for an official typo thread
Erm i started a brand new game and pressed the 30 day increment button and this happened. No idea why or how it happened i just clicked the 30 day increment button :S Running version 6.42
Edit: It appears to be only the asteroids in system doing this.
Not sure if a bug or user error. I sm'd a large sorium deposit onto Jupiter when it had none, but the civilian harvesters won't go to it. My harvesters can get fuel from it if I send them there, but the auto commands "move to gas giant with sorium" and "unload fuel at colony and move to gas giant with sorium" will never send the harvesters back to Jupiter.
You did this via the System screen (F9) rather than the modify colony screen?
Yes, I was on the system screen. If I remember correctly on turn one I used sm to re roll sol's mineral numbers, and got one I like except for no sorium on Jupiter so i added that in by hand (all from the f9 screen). I didn't notice till years into the game when I sent my first harvesters to Jupiter, gave them the unload and move to gas giant order, and they wound up on Neptune, the only gas giant that had sorium originally. If it makes a difference I used sm to do a full body survey then when I got what I was looking for mineral wise i unservyed the system, except for earth.
Edit: you can set up colonies on gas giants?

I had a discussion with Steve a couple of years ago and he provided the formula:
Effective Range (in units of 10k) = Contact Dist / Weapon Range Modifier
If Effective Range < 1 Then Effective Range = 1
Weapon Damage = Round Down (Weapon Damage Output / Effective Range)
As you can see it is not liniar as you'd expect.
I accidentally hauled a shipyard all over the galaxy. Now, it has disappeared from all Tractors, and I get an error 5 with every increment.

the AI seems to be building ships with 0cm Lasers.There is a 0cm on the advanced laser chart currently. This is probably a bug however as previous versions had the advanced lasers working as more powerfull standard lasers.
I noticed this a bit before when I had them showing up from salvage ops, but I've just captured a ship with 84 of these seemingly useless lasers.

Unless I'm missing something. I searched for 0cm and returned zero results.
I'm playing a 6. 43 campaign and decided to attack the other empire on my homeworld before the truce timer expired. For some reason, I can no longer have my PD FCs auto-target inbound missiles, although I can still manually target them. The FCs can be set to whatever I choose, there are active sensors that can see the missiles, etc. Is this a bug in 6. 43 or is there a setting I missed?
When you disassemble alien modules and get research points towards a technology that you have a scientist currently researching, if you get enough points to complete the technology, the research completes but the scientist doesn't enter back into the unassigned pool. Twice I had to manually unassign the scientist on the F4 screen to be able to give them a new project.
Check you have the other race listed as hostile. You won't auto-engage missiles unless they are from a a hostile race.
I think this might be an Easter egg rather than a bug but when looking at my leaders a few minutes ago I noticed one of them had the sex identifier of "Yes!!" instead of M/F. It disappeared when I clicked on a different officer and I can't seem to reproduce it.
Aye,Awesome. :) I have to watch out for this from now on.
there are a few of these in the program (occasionally Moons are made of Green Cheese too)

Clicking OK generates this error:
Clicking OK several dozen times does nothing. I have to kill the Aurora process and restart.
Note that I have Aurora installed to C:\Games\Aurora instead of the default installation directory.
On the first one, a couple things come to mind. Do you have a C:\Logs directory that is globally writable? Did you install all of the sub-zips for medals and planets?

How can you know that ? And long does it take ?!It only lasts for (ingame) a few minutes at a time. Its skirmishes or similar between NPRs, it clears up after a while.
It didnt help.

I dont think i can do that.

As you can see, the fact that it registers a 0% hit chance for 3k km/s targets is quite odd, and I've never come across it in in the 6.3 version. Is this a game-breaking error or is it a mundane case of a few characters being left out?
I've researched two different technologies now that do not act as if they have been researched.Have you closed and reopened the design window? Many pages will need you to do this when new tech or something is added to the database, for instance when you create a new colony the production window won't even show that colony unless the window gets refreshed....
The first was a fuel production upgrade. When I looked at sorium harvesters after the research was concluded, the numbers all reflected the previous level of research. This eventually went away when I researched the next level of fuel production.
I just finished Magnetic Confinement engine tech, and the option to use it does not appear in the design menu. I would proceed as I did before, and research the next level of engine tech, however it gets very expensive at this point and I wouldn't be able to use my newest engine tech for several years, which is. . . uncomfortable.
Multiple ships stuck in overhaul. Abandon overhaul is not available. It has happened over time. Currently, BTG Never Ending Overhaul includes the following ships:
FF ClanFrigate 022
DD Foehunter 005
TK Fuel Mule 005
FF Intruder 005
Most were originally part of BTG Dwarfhunter. FF ClanFrigate 022 is the lone exception.
Not sure if it still works this way (I think it does), but when you abandon an overhaul, it takes a while to "put the ship back together" (i.e. it's not immediately available). From the way you phrased "Currently, ...", it sounds like you might have been moving new ships into the overhaul TG before the old ships had gotten out. Could this be the effect you're seeing?

When i try to drop off a sensor bouy at a jump point using either the ships window Msl Launch or the task group window Msl Launch buttons the game tells me the fleet is suffering from effects of transit when they did not come trough the jump point or even have jump engines.
That may be it. The entire Dwarfhunter tribes has enjoyed 30 months of liberty. I'll give it another year. Then scrap the fleet and strike the Dwarfhunters from the rolls.

i canceled the assembly of a prefabricated PDC and it vanished. the components are not in stockpile, i cannot give a new assemble PDC order. i had some strange construction order just labeled "item" but the construction cost did not match a PDC or its assembly. i canceled this construction, tried restarting the game a few times. still can't find my PDC.
Aurora 6.43David, you might try going into sm mode, bringing up the system display (F9) screen and go to the jump point tab. Starting at a system you definitely surveyed use the enter/explore button and follow the chain to the system the npr told you about. You could also try to reset the jp link in the same place. First check out which system the jump point is connecting to, and the destination jump point. Then use select the jump point, use the break link button and then reselect the jump point and use the connect jp button to reestablish the link. A third item you may or may not need to do is to resurvey the system. You can do this with the sm mode on the system tab (F9) screen. The button is at the bottom left section of buttons.
PS : The messages now appear each time I access the Galactic Map - does anyone have a solution to prevent these messages , other than reinstalling a previous save game and hoping that the NPR does not advise me of the new system again.

Another potential issue I've noticed from my current campaign. I only have ground units that require a rank one commander, and it seems that auto-assignment won't assign officers of a higher rank to these units, even if they have a higher bonus.
This leads to having all of my best army officers being promoted and then released from service six years after their promotion because they are "deemed surplus to requirements".
what is acid 6?
link please?

This leads to having all of my best army officers being promoted and then released from service six years after their promotion because they are "deemed surplus to requirements".
Do you have BHQ and DHQ? Those usually require higher ranked officers.Brigade and Division HQ are higher techs. Along with a few other types. You can manually assign the higher ranking officers to battalions and in the officer screen, there is a checkbox in the center area that should prevent them from being reassigned. I don't recall the exact wording on it.
I started with a low number of research points, so the only ground units that I can train are:
- Mobile Infantry Battalion
- Garrision Battalion
- Replacement Battalion
- Low Tech Armor Division
- Low Tech Infantry Division
Noticed a kind of derpy little bug while running through assorted turret designs.
Ver .643
When designing a single gauss cannon turret using a .5hs gauss cannon (the 8% one), regardless of the number you set for tracking speed (300k is still 1HS), the literal turret size never goes up above 1HS total. Playing around, they seem to operate just fine while playing (though their aim is terrible, my tech is at 4 for the ROF, and sticking 8 of these turrets on a ship with a max beam tracking system, they demolish waves of missiles. 32, 8% chances every 5 seconds is pretty good chances for missile shootdowns)
Very minor grammar bug:
Some officers and scientists are incorrectly identified as male when they are actually female. EX: When an officer has increased their fleet initiative.
Not sure whats going on but I get the following message 3 times.
Aurora
No new technology was discovered during the disassembly of this component
After pressing ok thrice I get the following message
Aurora
Wreck not found in CompleteWreckSalvage
1 click on ok and the game runs as it should to the next 30 day cycle, there seems to be a variation of the above messages ... I presume its an "leak" from an NPC or something...
Apart from that the game works as it should...
The problem is, I can "open" the Event log with Ctrl+F3 or other normal ways and see it on taskbar, but it can't be displayed correctly. The window doesn't appear when clicked, and when I move my cursor onto it on taskbar, it shows a blank subscreen.
From the main game window, reset window positions.Doesn't work. Maybe a programme problem caused by ended the processes of Aurora with task manager.
There is a male/female column in the database, but as far as I know, the code does not reference it.

In my current side game I have for the first time tried out the "jump gate on everything" option. However, it only places gates on every jump point that was created during the system's generation. When I later found jump links that would track back to an already known system (and create a new jump point with that), it wouldn't create a gate on the newly spawned point, so I couldn't immediately turn back.
I could confirm this when I found the second of those circles, where it happened too.

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.

..he decided to leave it as a "feature" to give some spontaneity to the game...Collatoral damage/Friendly fire.
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).
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).
At the top of the box which says Error 76, it should say something. That'll help narrow things down.
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").I did and mine is fine. I did some sneaky stuff that I cant remember to be of help.
You didn't install into Program Files, did you? That's generally a bad idea due to protection issues....
John
I don't know if this is a bug, but an NPR i created spawned 26 ships in less than a month after its genesis.Not a bug. They just probably have small ships with a shipyard(s) with a lot of slipways. And if the auto-assign tech chooses ship build rate and they have cheap parts (low tech), its possible.
In the middle of my game, I wanted to practice war. So I used SM and F9 to create a new species on Titan, I gave them default settings (as far as I remember) with Insane Dictator government. After three days, they had already made a ship, bee-lining its way to my capital and turning on its active sensor. Less than a month later and they have 26 ships of 13 different classes! Is there a natural explanation or does it stem from a bug?
6.43:Hmmmmmm, never crashed for me in December. And didn't 6.43 just come out Summer 2014? So how could you have a crash every year with a version not even out for more than a year? Or were you saying Aurora as a whole keeps crashing every year no matter the version? Can I ask any more questions in a row? Is it too much?
Every December, the game crashes with Error 76. Pressing OK, Error 424 is given. If I end the game and start new, it works again. So I have a regulary Christmas-Crash, you could say. Any ideas?
Edit: It's not always December. You can say every now and then, one time a year. :(
;) Well, I mean it crashes every INGAME-yearAhhhh, you got me there. Still no crashes for me every in game December though. Maybe you have to reinstall, that's all I could tell you to do as I never had this happen to me. Must be a NPR celebrating some kind of holiday/festival ;).

I am not sure if this is a bug or not, or even if the steps are recreatable; However, I am pretty sure that if anyone else noticed this happening, the steps are recreatable.I got a sneaking suspicious here..
My bug however was related to shipping lines, and Freighters spazzing out and refusing to do any work (Colony ships were unaffected)
I had a multi-Sol start; One NPR on Jupiter, and myself on Earth. Truce Clock was set to 10 years. Since I messed up and started with the normal population number at 150% difficulty- I wanted to expand my economy; So I placed colonies on Luna and Mars, set my demand and supply, built a colony and cargo ship, used my meager money to subsidize the shipping line.
Up until this point me and the Jovs were buddy buddy, it was still the first year. My diplomatic teams raise the relations to Allow Trade levels; and I enable this, and as soon as the commercial shipping line launches it's first ship, Jov goes crazy and blows it up.
About 3 months later after I absolutely destroy the Jovs, I notice my shipping line Freighters aren't doing anything. I noticed them trying to go towards their planet as if to trade with the Jupiter dudes, but they stop halfway and don't do anything. They do however run from Jupiter ships. I tried clearing orders, nothing. I went into SM mode and raised our relations to friendly levels-- still nothing.
I am convinced the Shipping Lines broke the truce-- and that is fine by me; But it broke the Freighters as well it seems-- and I made sure that I had enough supply contracts and demands.

Very minor visual bug: the level of rounding between the Technology Report and the Create Research Project screen are different (4 and 3, respectively).Its just a rounding thing.
In my current game I encountered endless 5 seconds turns. When in SM mode event log shows:Not a bug, you could just put it onto autoturns and leave it running until the NPR's are done with their thing.... Or theres that spacetime bubble option. Maybe? I forget where it even is as I don't see it on my screen resolution.

Can I somehow get rid of that?
I waited two irl days till they end their thing with autoturns on. The problem is Precursors fired missile salvo once. Then reloading counter counts down till 5 sec to next missile launch and from that point I have endless loop of "Precursors,Jungmann,Size 3 Box Launcher (x19) reloading. 5 seconds until next missile launch.

Time difference is 480 sec, but reloading time differs only by 48 sec. Is it OK? The difference in reloading time is 10 times smaller than in game time steps
for all increments till it stabilizes at 5 sec. autoturn steps.
Hello !
I installed Aurora using the portable launcher (I did a classic install before but it was bugged as hell), and I've got a quite annoying problem, once a in-game year, I've got two Errors 76 in CreateGameLog and immediately after a lot of Errors 424 in CreateGameLog too. At the beginning of the game it happends on January but as the years pass it happends later in the year. For example, in my current 45 years game, I have the errors message in September. It doesn't really affect gameplay, since after a few seconds of keeping the enter key pressed it goes away, but it is a little bit annoying. Does anyone knows what's wrong ?
Try creating a "Logs" folder on the root of your install drive.
Might want to take a closer look at the research anomaly code. In my current game I have located 8 of them in various systems and they are all for Defense research only. I know that RNG is the beast here but 8 in a row for Defense seems a little skewed.You could say your RNG results were...
Oh for frakk sake ...
EVERY version of Aurora just stopped working for me ... I had two sepearate folders - none of them works, everytime i try to bring up some sort of window ( economics, system view , race view ) i get some frakking error 372 and smeg about outdated version of TABCTL32.ocx or comdlg32.ocx ..
I downloaded both portable zip and exe, and NOTHING frakkING WORKS ...
Im so frakking mad i will destroy something if i cant get my beloved Aurora back ....
I hadn't noticed this issue with advanced lasers. From a little tweeking of my prototyping workbook it looks like Steve is referencing the damage field instead of the focal size field.
I am having a little trouble with thee summary screen. I am not able to expand the lists of other star systems. When I click the + button to expand the list it takes me to the system view (f9). Also when I try to swap the order by colony type everything on the list just dissipates.

The folder already existed, it was a hardlink appearently. That led to nowhere?
Creating Logs in the aurora main folder did the trick however. Thanks.
e:
Sometimes when I create a new tech I get an error (Don't have it saved), and when opening the ship builder as well. The tech-name is empty and this comes up:
I believe this happens when the name of your new module is too long. When this happens to me (usually with a long company name and then model name), I obsolete the empty tech name so it stops appearing in the list, and that at least stops the Invalid use of null error. I'm not sure what the exact length limit is on module names before the error will occur.
Not sure if this has already been brought up, but I had some NPR ships that surrendered after I conquered them disappear after a few years of had passed.
Can you name how many you have? Would be a great addition to that 'limits of Aurora' thread.

Edit: Had a look in designer mode and it appears NPRs are assigning multiple salvage vessels for the same wreck which probably leads to the error messages when one or more salvage vessels are left without a wreck to salvage.

You can rename components in the technology window (that I-pod symbol in the bar). Do you still see the powerplant there?
In past games I've been hunted by the problem that at some point newly created ships would cause a single error window per built ship on a construction turn, causing them to come out of the factory without fuel. It was not a threatening problem, as I could just refuel them after, but mysterious.Getting the same bug with +2bil fuel in reserves.
I've now found the reason for this, as in my current side game fuel is suspiciously rare, so I could observe the situation more closely. The first time that this error appeared again was exactly when my fuel reserves hit the magical 2^31 barrier. My home planet has around 2.3b fuel currently, and after building some small unit, there was the error. The error disappears when I lift away over 500m liter with a tanker, so this is securely confirmed.
2.15b fuel reserve is not that much of an achievement for a planet. This time I got this with running 12 fuel platforms of 400 harvesters each, and those barely feed my single main freighter group, which only has a total of 100 holds (really not that much), yet consumes around 100m+ liters per single trip. (I experimented with "Clipper" designs, express or emergency fast freighters who have 50% tonnage as engines. Surprisingly expensive, didn't expect that. (http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_seb_zunge.gif))
Getting the same bug with +2bil fuel in reserves.

That usually means that Spoilers/NPR are do stuff somewhere. There is really not much you can do. Turn on Auto-Turns and grab a book.but for 4 solid months?

Relatively minor issue but it appears that system bodies designated as 'chunk' that are colonizable according to your racial abilities do not show up in the Available Colonies Analysis page.
The aforementioned system body has been terraformed to a cost 0 planet and has 40m inhabitants so it definitely was colonizable. :)
So either it needs updated that I shouldn't have been able to place a populated colony on a chunk or an additional entry needs placed in the query.
I think I found a strange bug.

EDIT: after further testing, it seems that the Fuel Consumption per Engine Hour value was too small.
does it have a fuel tank?Yeah. I fixed it with SM refuel. I built the PDC on a colony with no fuel, and because it had a fuel tank it kept interrupting about empty tanks.
Yeah. I fixed it with SM refuel. I built the PDC on a colony with no fuel, and because it had a fuel tank it kept interrupting about empty tanks.
Why are you even able to build PDC's with fuel tanks? What's the point?
was the team still on the colony when you abandoned it?
not sure if this counts as a bug, but Fuel Storage - Small and Fuel Storage - Tiny list as having 1 HTK in the design screen, which is kinda nuts if true.
Fighter bases?Couldn't you just as easily have fuel in the colony?
Try a shorter nameThanks, that fixed it.
http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=7911.0 maybe?Thanks. I was using the aurora wrapper and it creates the Logs folder temporarily and I thought that was enough but apparently occasionally Windows glitched with it. I closed down Aurora, manually created the C:\Logs directory and no more errors.

Not sure if I made an error or if its a bug...
Was building on a planet were I wanted to start putting together a pre fabricated PDC, noticed that the PDC build was on hold until the first build was finished so I put that on hold and waited for the PDC to be put togther, nothing happened... So I terminated them both and tried to start a new PDC reassembly, but my pre fabricated PDC had wanished...
My fault?
Bug?
Since the games basicly a huge database generally when it crashes you don't lose anything.
Though sometimes you might lose individual units that are being transferred or something.
That being said, the DB can be corrupted by a crash (or other weird things can happen) so you should save early and often. There's thread in FAQ describing a save strategy, plus I think the installer might have some save functionality.
John
The backup utility I wrote (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?board=178.0) backs up the database on a timed interval.
There's a caveat in the first post: "I am not sure what will happen if Aurora is trying to write to the database when the launcher tries to copy it."
Is that still an issue? I downloaded the program, but I haven't been using it, mostly for that reason - and also because I didn't think I needed it. I do keep a backup, occasionally, just in case. But not very often. So I'd probably be wise to use that utility.
Try Creating a new colony on whatever body they were last on?
Oh. On the leaders screen at the bottom left is a drop down menu next to a button labelled move. Select the officers if they still exist there, change the list to a colony, and try moving them.
You probably need space master on to use that, but I guess you know that by now :p
Are you running windows 10? There seems to be a tree view bug in Visual Basic on win 10 that which hasn't been narrowed down yet. I have an idea that registering a different version of MSSTDFMT. dll may fix it.
Are they flagged commercial or military?Commercial
Don't quote me on this, but I believe commercial ships are not subject to moraleI'm going to quote steve on that when I find the right post, but you're mostly correct, I think one or both kinds of survey ships are affected in some way.

I get an "Run-time error '7': Out of memory" when I try to open the Class Design window. I'm using 6. 43 on Windows 10 64bit. I'm actually using the installer version with the wrapper, but without using the Aurora_wrapper. exe because that one automatically runs as admin and if I run as admin (wrapper or normal exe) I get a comctl32. ocx error on the System Map.Did you properly extract/install into the Program Files (x86)? Also, the Aurora_wrapper.exe is the one you should be using.
Not sure what other relevant information I could provide.
Did you properly extract/install into the Program Files (x86)? Also, the Aurora_wrapper. exe is the one you should be using.
Yeah, I used the installer, installation to D:\Program Files (x86)\Aurora ran without error. And if I use the wrapper it forces running as admin and when I run as admin (wrapper nor not) I get "Run-time error '339': Component 'COMCTL32. OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" when opening the System Map (the file exists in the same folder) - but I also still get the Out of memory error on the Class Design, so I don't think that really helps anyway.
Try installing outside of Program Files.
That seems to have worked, now the Class Desiger works! I don't even want to know how that solved the problem though ;)
Still have the ocx-error when running as admin but it seems to work fine for now without elevated privileges.
With Win7+ the Program Files directory is really locked down hard. At times, you can copy a file over, acknowledge the UAC prompt with escalated privileges and still not have the file copy.Huh, I've never had a problem with it installed in Program Files (x86) in Windows 8, 8.1, or 10.

I just finished a battle, and I suspect the issue is related to task groups that had been escorting another group no longer doing so, but maybe it's fire control related or something entirely different. I have a copy of the database if desired.
I see this popup from time to time as well. Not pinned it down yet but doesn't seem to have any effect beyond the popup.
Uuummmmmm... ok then. Anyone have any weapons that can destroy a system?
Edit; Owwwww, my brain. Now Aurora keep getting errors cause its trying to divide by zero.
SM Mode, F9, delete system.Worked like a charm. I knew I could do that but I was just making a "joke" as a book series I've read had a missile that would make a star go supernova. Although (refer to image)... ummmm. At least this time the system actually works, but this time it only has 2 star and a collection of planets including... my first extrasolar 0.0 cost planet and 2 planets under a cost of 2.0, YAY. Thank you bug.
And a random bug: refitting a ship doesn't seem to trigger the "is this ship slower than the TG speed" check, so you can refit a fast ship to be slower, and it will still travel at its old speed. at some random point in the future sometimes they will reset to the correct speed, but say incorrectly that the ship took damage.
Is Area Defense mode still bugged in 6.4? Steve's Solarian Empire game made it sound like he was using beam escorts in separate task forces, which implies the use of Area Defense fire, but last night my beam escort destroyers were completely ineffective until I set them to Final Defensive Fire mode.
Aurora v6.43 Start year 2025, now 2079.
I have civilian colony ships appearing 6 jumps from Sol. I thought they could only jump 4 from Capital in 6.43? (Which is still Sol). Haven't seen any freighters that far out.
Ian
I'm pretty sure ship components do this too.
I'm getting pop up notifications (not event logs) about salvage events when I'm not doing any salvaging. Maybe some debug notifications from the NPR salvaging development work that got left in?

I mean, yes some get used as target practice, but most do get scrapped. It's called shipbreaking.
EDIT: Back to the bugs.I've actually exploited this bug once in the past by docking overfilled rescue shuttles on ships, so their maintenance time and failure doesn't matter anymore. => infinite rescue capacity hack
Rescued crew doesn't respect the capacity of Cryogenic Transport.
What's really interesting is that after the final mission of that ship it was detected and destroyed with 159 people in the cryogenic pods. The lifeboat had 11 survivors out of the crew of 12. But the report of battle damage stated 2 casualties, one in engineering and one from the thermal sensors.A casualty is not always a fatality.

Edit: has the fighter overhaul bug been fixed yet? I've got a few fighters stuck in overhaul I can't cancel, their maintenance clocks going up, I thought landing them on a carrier until they were repaired would help but they're still on overhaul.
A casualty is not always a fatality.You're right, however I just got a lifeboat with 0 survivors, and one with more then the entire crew.
Not sure why timer keeps resetting. When i hit 30 days it goes ahead a few seconds instead. Even when leaving the game and going back in.You'll get shorter updates whenever there's events that need shorter increments. IE NPR battles or something.
thanks!
Is Area Defense mode still bugged in 6.4? Steve's Solarian Empire game made it sound like he was using beam escorts in separate task forces, which implies the use of Area Defense fire, but last night my beam escort destroyers were completely ineffective until I set them to Final Defensive Fire mode.
Should genetic modification centers require population to run? I'm not sure that qualifys as a bug though.through the industry window it just stops production while through the civ window its like closing it down.
I just noticed that stopping and restarting fuel production from the industry screen is instant, but using the civilians/industry status tab causes the 180 day reactivation timer. I'm sure it should require the timer in both cases.
Are you running windows 10? There seems to be a tree view bug in Visual Basic on win 10 that which hasn't been narrowed down yet. I have an idea that registering a different version of MSSTDFMT. dll may fix it.I am on Windows 8.
I'm seeing this too. I've got a bunch of fighters stuck in a PDC. I can't give them orders because they're in Overhaul. Their maintenance clocks were at several years when I ordered them to overhaul.
Minor Text issues:
On the Missiles/Buoy Design page, Enhanced Radiation checkbox has the tooltip for Laser Warhead.
On the Leaders page, tooltip for "Unassign Type" reads "Clear assignments for all officers of the current team, except team members." Should say "officers of the current type."
On the Population and Production Page, in the Research Tab, the Technology Description for Fuel Productions techs give the wrong figure.
On a second look, that is indeed what's happening. The Brigadiers that don't get assignments are the ones who don't have a training bonus. If that's the expected behavior, then this isn't a bug, it's merely something I don't understand.
Groovy.
Ships with engine damage appear to be retroactively slowed. As a result it is possible that the now slower ship will fail to end up inside of missile intercept range. As a result the remaining missiles from the same wave may impact on the next 5s increment and allow point defenses an extra round of point defense missile fire.

As seen here 115 missiles intercepted the Krivak task group targeting Krivak 003, which was slowed after the 11th salvo impacted. Don't ask me why the explosions ended in front of the Krivak's in the direction of their travel, or why the missiles ended there movement before reaching the task group they were targeting. There might be other bugs that occurred with the interception.
Minor bug:
When you give a terraformer a 'Join' command to combine with another terraformer fleet at another planet, that terraformer is not counted as a terraformer in orbit until you order the entire fleet to re-move over the planet. Same thing happens with geosurvey, maintenance ships, recreation ships and so forth.
As far as I was able to determine, no one seems to have reported this.
A typo in the combat assignments where it says automated fire in the top right portion of the overview, the mouse-over description reads:
If set for Synchronous fire, this ship will select ship targets and automatically open fire when in range.
I would presume that since it is a description for automated fire and not for synchronous fire, that it should read 'If set for automated fire'.
And in the Research overview, under power and propulsion, the capacitor recharge rate description reads:
The amount of power which am energy weapon will recharge every 5 seconds.
should be an instead of am.
Also in my current game I am using Known Star Systems, and in the Sirius System, Sirius AVI, a Gas Giant, has its list of moons begin at the number 8 instead of 1.
By pure chance I have today spotted this double appearing object...
(http://s2.postimg.org/m55jnl4a1/Unbenannt.jpg)
...but then saw slightly different statistics for size and gravity in the system window, researched it and found out that the original 1998 WW31 had a nearly identical named moon, (1998 WW31) 1, despite its small asteroid size.
I still went to log that here as I am not sure if the distance can be correct. The screenshot shows an incredible distance of over 2 AE here, and there are two other objects of respectable size close (though could be of on z-axis), who might interfere, so why aren't they moons too if you can have one at only 0.004g over 2 AE? Might be wrong though. Amazing detail anyway!
I'm surprised nobody has noticed this one: Scrapping doesn't return any minerals: just recovered components.
Found a small typo. In the task groups screen the tool tip for "Remove all" says "Remove all Oredsr"
Rescued crew doesn't respect the capacity of Cryogenic Transport.
I designed a ship with an emergency cryo transport module. Total capacity of 200.
However after a recent battle leaving a number of wrecks in one system I discovered this:
(http://i.imgur.com/sQf3RkM.jpg)
That's 459 people crammed in like sardines. Now while it should be possible to fit more people in crew quarters than designed capacity I'm pretty sure cryo transport wouldn't be the kind of thing you could add extra people into.
And if the extra 259 people are in the rest of the ship, well, the normal crew capacity of that ship is 12, overcrowding of 4000% should have caused the ships normal deployment time of 1 moth to be shortened to 18 hours. But the trip to drop off survivors was successful despite taking 2 weeks.
Noticed an odd thing.Larger ships have a higher Annual Build Point rate than smaller ships, though usually cost more as a result of having more components, thus not suddenly building faster just because they're bigger. Box launchers happen to be relatively cheap, though not particularly resource-hollow for their HS, but still, the addition you made likely increased the annual build rate faster than it increased the overall cost of the ship. There's also the possibility you may have some prefabbed or scrapped box launchers lying around.
Playing around with my carrier and adding 100 size 8 box launchers made the ship faster to build?
From 0,82 to 0,79 year ???
Ran into more trouble during the flagship game. I was attempting to board a couple of star swarm soldiers with my marines. The problem was that they had -1 and 0 crew respectively, so the boarding combat never completed. They just sat there, throwing reports that combat was taking place without me actually taking over the ship. (Both had been pounded on until their engines failed, then boarded, so this wasn't terribly surprising.) I had to SM the units off the ships, then transferred one of them via designer mode.I have a feeling that has to do with the fact that you were dealing with that spoiler itself. I am not going to go into it but if you know the backstory of that spoiler you should have an idea.

I am not going to go into it but if you know the backstory of that spoiler you should have an idea.I've successfully captured ships of said spoiler race before. The problem is that the ground combat doesn't update if one side's strength isn't a positive number, not that said race is immune to capture. (Or if it is, Steve added it since 5.something without telling us.)

I've got to say, I would think it should be immune to capture, hell I'd say it should be immune to boarding at allI don't agree (my headcanon is that the swarm are some form of robot, not biological, as I really don't like 'living starships'), and even if that were the case, it would still be a problem if I'd run into the same issue with some other race.
Possible Suggestion: Maybe it could be a research field to be able to board ships like that, requiring that you salvage enough smaller ones or only one of the really big ones first? That would be nifty.That race's ships disappear when they die. There's no wreckage left to examine.
