First, check your own commander names. Fastest way is in the F4 commanders window. Just select each rank and check every name in the list.
If that doesn't work (which means an NPR is causing the problem), you will need to edit the database in Access. If you have Access, let me know and I will explain how to handle the edit.
Long story short, a bug keeps coming up and the error message won't allow me to do anything else until I close and re-open the game. It comes up every time I advance time, making the game unplayable. The bug doesn't appear to actually affect anything, so I'd like to just turn off error reporting and ignore it. Barring that, I believe the bug is caused by blank NPR commander names, so if there's any way to edit those, that would work too.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
For completeness, the error is:
Error in GetCommanderName
Error 94 was generated by Aurora
Invalid use of Null
Please report etc.
I would report it, but a bunch of people already have, and I'm running an old version for some reason.
Thanks again!
