Error 6 - Overflow
« on: July 26, 2012, 03:12:36 PM »
I am getting an Error message on error 6, "overflow". Does not cause a CTD, but still is annoying.

What could cause this apart from speed-related stuff (all my task groups either have no orders or sufficient speed to complete their orders in reasonable time).

I do not have an overly large tracking station either, level-11 at strength 4400.

The error message should be telling you which function is causing the issue, what else does it say?

Note that it says the above in the title bar of the window, not in the window proper.

Ah I might have overlooked that. (just as I had overlooked how much racial wealth I had for a looong time in my first game...)

I'll check when I get back to the game, which wont be before Sunday; thanks in advance!

So its "Error in GetMaxPotentialSensorRange", can that seriously be down to Earth tracking station of strnegth 4400?

EDIT: Nope, aint that. Even removing them all does not affect the error.

It could easily be something realated to NPR activity.

Is there anyway I could find out (say in SM mode)?

It's really annoying to have to click away both error messages in mid-calculation. Else I can just hit the 30 days button, then make myself a tea and come back 5 minutes later to see the results of the turn...

I think it's related to invaders and swarm fleets in the same system.

Invaders are disabled. I do notice that something must be going on presumably with NPRs outside of my known universe due to sporadic occurrences of 30-or-so-second interrupts.

By now my best guess is that some NPR has built a whooping large sensor (maybe tracking stations) somewhere that causes this overflow. The Question is, can I somehow change this in SM mode?

No, you need Designer mode for that.
