Two days later my research into expanding the missile appropriation to max 14% completed so I went to the industry screen so I could increase the job to 14 while it was still queued. Problem is that the missile job now has a due time and the 'unused overall capacity' is reading -12! I think it could have been the research that is skewing the numbers, but I did not check that screen between setting the job and the research completing so it may not be related.
Another think on the industry tab is that when you pause and the un-pause a job the word 'no' appears in the due date column instead of the 'pause/queue' column. Just a display issue, doesn't seem to adversely effect anything.

Error 5 was generated by Aurora
Invalid procedure call or argument
I am just on the System Map, no other windows open, have the same fleets doing the same things for a while now and am running the auto-increment.
Came up 3 times and then continued with the auto-increment until an event occurred.
Thinking about it some more, maybe it could be these three?
1. the TG doing a gravsurvey
2. another TG doing a gravsurvey in different system
3. the TG doing training in Sol
Would they require the calculation of a 'closestItem'?

you cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Race'.
Before this, I was doing the auto-increment and I noticed that it was only forwarding in minute-chunks so I guess an NPR was encountering a Precursor or another NPR or it triggered the creation of another NPR?
That was the only error.

"17th Engineer Regiment has recovered 5x on Mars" - but I can't see what the 5 items could be, looked in summary, stockpiles and the only thing I can't be sure of is the mineral stocks. But, units of 5 minerals doesn't seem that big a find!
Also, a typo on the Engineer units: The game start units are called 'Engineer' whilst the newly created units are called 'Engineer Regiment'. I think the other game start units are also using the older names.
On the officer screen, if you select a 'ranks and security' option that has no people in it and then select an 'assignment type filter' it just gives the hourglass/loading icon, but you can just close that screen or select another option from ranks that has people.

error 3201 because a related table in table race is required
It looks like I got this when I recovered the jump engine from some ruins. I saw some of the same with the last game I set up where any tech modules recovered gave the same error. The planet has had it's xeno survey completed and the summary page displays the total installations and originating group. This ruin was done using sm mode to set up.
I noticed that even before the xeno survey was completed I was recovering some installations - fuel refinery and infrastructure as I remember.

I was messing about in the DB, swapping some raceIDs around so I could get a look at their map the next time I started the game (which worked btw!) when I noticed they only had that one entry for Shipyards.
Note to anybody else, windows7 and office2003 seem to have issues when closing the DB down if you open it for debugging. The UAC and auto-recovery in windows7annoyed the hell out of me for 2 hours while I tried to fix what they perceived as a problem. Don't know if many other people fiddle with the values in the DB, but I like having a look to help track down bugs.

For some reason the Events window in my current game decided that it didn't want to come up sometime in the middle of combat. It's like it's constantly deciding to stay miminzed for some reason. However, the events window works perfectly fine if i start a new game.The program remembers the location of windows so they are in the same place when you open them again. However, this means if you close the program while they are minimised, you get the problem above. To correct this, make sure the events window is NOT open and then select Reset Window Positions from the Miscelleneous menu of the main menu bar. When you open the Events window, it should be in the top left of your primary monitor.

It will be called by almost every civ/NPR fleet at some point and often several times per sub-pulse, which means whatever is causing this problem must be something unusual, or there is some data element that has only recently been introduced to your game. That data or activity could be NPR-related though which makes it difficult to find. Is this happening every increment or was the above a one-off?

If this happened during a 5-day increment then that is almost certainly the cause.

Error in create jump driveThe code is trying to assign a RaceTech record for components created by ruins. However that isn't possible because the race doesn't exist in game terms, which results in the error. As far as I can tell, the error is annoying but doesn't cause a problem because as that piece of code shouldn't be being called anyway, the fact it doesn't work doesn't matter. Other people have reported other similar errors and the same will apply in all those cases.

i.e.
I have a ship going from point A to point B and the distance is 20billion KM, the ship has fuel to get it 24billion KM. Run auto-increment a dozen times, taking note of the fuel/range/distance-left-to-travel readings and you notice that the ship is 'leaking fuel'. I presume the fuel is subtracted for the full 24hours in the movement phase, but then an interrupt fires at a later phase but only, say, 16 hours into the increment.
I got one GE ship stuck this way, and then the other GE I sent to refuel it got stuck, and then the next GE I sent to refuel them got stuck and now I have two more on the way - hopefully that should be enough to get them all home!

Have been through 2 game months with this behavior, making this essentially unplayable.
Same thing happened to me last game. And the game before that. In the current, I don't seem to be throwing the exception, since I am really doing nothing.
I can understand when the process goes into an NPR battle or something like that, and the game clock slows down to the "game-second range" for the duration. This is differentl since the "game stops" are seemingly happening at the first sub-pulse of the turn cycle. Every smacking time. As I said, the game time has now advanced two months with this nonsense.

If its any help then when I recover 20x alpha 300/7Shields the event record said recovered 20x blank. Up till now no problem in recovering components.
I have noticed however that if you have a component you can produce and then recover some from a wreck your design will not substitute your homemade version for the recovered version. EG I recover thermal sensor 1-11 from a precursor wreck. I can also produce same sensor. I design a ship using this sensor, but use the recovered component. when I produce more ships than I have pre-made components for I am told there are none in stock, even though I can mde this item

If two races both build the same size sensor using the same tech then they might have the same stats but in the database they are two separate systems with different IDs. If you recovered something that isn't designed as a component, such as a terraforming module for example, then your terraforming module and the alien ones will all use the same ID so they can be substituted.

No events at the stops, except for the 5-day issues. Nothing in the player mode, nothing in SM when SM is turned on.
I turned off all my econ activity (installation building etc) and the game then allowed 12 hour steps when pressing the 5 day key.
Then I came to a "officer purge" event, and now have 4 hour steps when pressing the 5-day key.
I need to back off the game statement. It turns out that all three games came from the same db stored initially. I got frustrated, and went back to the beginning. Repeat, wash rinse, and here I am again.....

I'm also having increment problems. You may remember I reported being stuck in a 15 second increment which went on for hours in my last game. I started a new one and now have a 15 minute increment with no messages about NPR's fighting etc and no error messages. In auto mode it runs 15 minutes increments with the odd 30 minutes thrown in. If I run in manual mode, it runs for 15 minutes each turn for any selection unless I choose a 3 hour total time with 1 hour increments when it runs for 1 hour or 1 hour 15 minutes. This has gone on for over 1 month game time.

Quote from: "Steve Walmsley"I've tracked it down but it was a little obscure and I would never have found it without your database. When an NPR detects something interesting, it creates a point of interest for future reference - sometimes an urgent point of interest for particularly important finds. As each NPR fleet goes through its priority list for actions, it will eventually reach a command to go and investigate nearby points of interest (if it can't find anything more urgent to do). In this case, one of the NPRs has previously detected something in a system that belongs to another NPR and created an urgent point of interest (POI). The fleet causing the problem in this game starts in the adjacent system to the POI and as it works its way down its priority list it eventually reaches a command to find a nearby system that contains an urgent POI and move to that system. It checks its records and remembers the POI in the adjacent system so it creates some movement and transit orders and pops into the system with the POI. Higher up the priority list than 'move to a system with a POI' is 'move to the closest POI in the current system' so that gets activated first. In the code for that routine I set a starting distance of ten billion kilometers and start looking for POIs. As each POI in the system is checked, the distance to that POI is calculated and checked against the closest one found so far. The first POI is checked against the ten billion kilometer starting value.Quote from: "tanq_tonic"No events at the stops, except for the 5-day issues. Nothing in the player mode, nothing in SM when SM is turned on.Sent from my gmail account; hotmail gets torqued w/ attachments more than 10 meg.
I turned off all my econ activity (installation building etc) and the game then allowed 12 hour steps when pressing the 5 day key.
Then I came to a "officer purge" event, and now have 4 hour steps when pressing the 5-day key.
I need to back off the game statement. It turns out that all three games came from the same db stored initially. I got frustrated, and went back to the beginning. Repeat, wash rinse, and here I am again..... :))
Thanks, and happy hunting.
Unfortunately, in this case the system primary is a white sub-giant with a high mass, which means jump points can form at considerable distances. When the fleet entered the system with the POI, it did so through a jump point ten point six billion kilometers from the star. Which means when it checks for the POI, which is near the star, it find it is eleven billion kilometers away. As this is greater than the starting distance, it never flags the POI at all. As it can't find a POI, it moves on down the priority list until it reaches 'move to nearest population'. It finds one in a nearby system and transits back through the jump point. As soon as the next increment comes around, the fleet now finds that 'move to a system with a POI' is the highest priority that it can fulfil so it jumps back into the system with the POI and repeats the whole cycle again. Even that yoyo situation wouldn't cause the problem you are facing by itself. However, the system with the POI is the home system of another NPR. There are actually two fleets from the first NPR, jumping back and forth through the jump point in opposite directions. Each time they arrive in the system with the POI the program also performs a check for transiting into a system with aliens. As this is the home system of the second NPRs, that check is successful and halts the increment at the end of the current sub-pulse. So as you can see, it took a fairly strange combination of circumstances to cause the problem.
I fixed it by simply changing the 10 billion starting distance for the POI check to 50 billion and now everything is working fine. However, because this is a code change rather than a data change, I can't fix your game, even though it is working now with the latest version of the development code. The next release will fix it but it also changes the DB, which means you can't keep the game anyway. The only thing I could try is to delete all the waypoints in your DB and send it back to you as NPRs use waypoints to store their POIs. Removing the POI might remove the issue, at least in the short term. Let me know if you want me to try that or if you want to wait for the next version, which should be in the next 2-3 days.
Sorry that was rather a long-winded explanation

This may be a feature but not sure whether it's intended or not. When you dump your engineers on a planet with ruins should they just go round activating anything they find before the Xeno team have identified who's it was and how many potential installations are present? I can't say its a problem but just curious.

It sounds like SQLDiff might be able to list the changes, although I don't have that software. Once v4.5 is out you could try it at work and based on the results I will see if its possible to create an update program again. I don't think there are very many DB changes for v4.5 (so far anyway). Do you happen to know if SQLDiff can also detect changes to default database values in Access as I use that functionality quite a lot?Steve

Hi Steve,
This discussion reminded me of a similar yo-yo situation that I've been in before. I'm pretty sure I've reported it, but wanted to pull it out of the noise again since people seem to be getting hung up on yo-yos.
My recollection is that an NPR had a WP into a system that I had already found, and I was picketing the WP (don't remember if it was active or passive sensors). The problem (IIRC) is that the NPR had geo-surveyed all the bodies in the system I was in, but still kept trying to send Geo-survey ships through the WP. So a geo-survey ship would jump into "my" system (causing an iterrupt), realize that there was nothing to survey and that there were no WP out, jump back home, then decide to jump into my system again. This resulted in a ~10 second yoyo, and the only way I knew of to stop the yoyo was to go into the DB and delete the ship/fleet that was yoyoing (at which point the NPR would build another survey ship and send it into yoyo land).
I'm bringing this up not because of the particular failure mode (i.e. running out of surveyed planets), but rather because yoyoing seems to be a common failure mode that brings the game's updates to a screeching halt. I think this problem needs a general solution. The problem is that I haven't got even an inkling of an idea to suggest as to how to go about solving it - the only thing that I can think of at all is for each fleet to keep some sort of history of recent things it's tried to do, and detect repeating patterns (or just yoyos) in it. I can see lots of problems with this idea though, so it will probably require a better solution.
Thanks,
John

When I search for an ability, when selecting an officer from the "searched list" it errors out with:
Run-time error '30009':
Invalid Row Value
The program then bails completely out.
This tends to happen when an already-assigned officer is selected in the search window.
I cannot confirm this, but it seems to me to fail more frequently (or perhaps exclusively) when all the officers in the search selection are already assigned.

I've not jumped into any new systems lately that might have Precursors or anything, although I have discovered a JP in an outlying system that strangely has a JG attached to it.

I am not sure about checking for order repeat as a solution though as many NPR and especially civilian ships will correctly be repeating orders. The real problem is not necessarily the repeating or orders though, as it doesn't matter that much if an NPR fleet runs in circles for a while, it's when that repetition causes interrupts. I need to take another look at the code that interrupts the game after transits, etc., to see if I can make it a little more intelligent.

I'm also having increment problems. You may remember I reported being stuck in a 15 second increment which went on for hours in my last game. I started a new one and now have a 15 minute increment with no messages about NPR's fighting etc and no error messages. In auto mode it runs 15 minutes increments with the odd 30 minutes thrown in. If I run in manual mode, it runs for 15 minutes each turn for any selection unless I choose a 3 hour total time with 1 hour increments when it runs for 1 hour or 1 hour 15 minutes. This has gone on for over 1 month game time.

Hi Steve.
I am new to the game. I find it awesome and addicting, although the mechanics is still a balck hole for me. Untill now I managed to get 2 ships off planet , survey a few planets and find one Jump Point
But to the topic - I can confirm that changing the decimal separator removes those cited warning messages. Can you please fix it for the next release so that the game accepts also the European decimal separator?

I have got the Empire of Mans missiles launching but I cannot get anyone else to launch antimissiles.
The escort ships which are currently failing have a 1.3million km range fire control, 1 million km range active sensor both with resolution 0 the missiles where set to 2 antimissile vs 1incoming missile at 900000km and failed to launch , so I changed that to 600000km and they still do not launch.
I also get the overflow error message each incrment missiles are detected by a fleet but that is not what is causing the defense missiles to fail to fire as I get the same error message when they do fire.
The only other factor I can think of is that all the fleets are very inexperienced so could that be dealying the launch of defensive missiles but not preventing final defensive fire beam weapons (It may explain why the Empire of Mans ships fired as they initially had problems but fiddling with ranges seemed to resolve it and they where under missile attack for a long time)
Bizzarly the Meson gun armed PDC's on Mars several million lm away seem to be trying to target the incoming missiles they are set to Final defensive fire and of course are in a different fleet . Could this attempt by ships on the far side of the system and so totally out of range be the reason for the Overflow errors?

At the moment the commanders of these units are apparently just selected on their ground combat/training skills.At the moment, you will have to select commanders with Xeno skills manually as the game has no way of knowing if you intend to use an engineer division for that purpose. If you select a commander with Xeno skills for an Engineer division, flag him as not to be replaced. Although having said that, I probably should set Xeno skills as the default for engineer regiments anyway.

Check the max range you have set them for and if it is greater than the weapon range, try reducing it and see if that corrects the problem. if it does, then I should be able to track down the bug fairly easily.

I also have two NPRs fighting and get a lot of the following errors:It's possible this one is caused by a known bug in v4.46. Try turning off the display of active sensor ranges and see if that fixes the problem.
Error in MoveMissiles
Error 6 was generated by Aurora
Overflow

Error in ExecuteOrdersNot seen this one before. Is the above error 5 appearing immediately after the error 6 or do they seem to be unconnected?
Error 5 was generated by Aurora
Invalid procedure call or argument

Active sensor range display is off and they are definitely connected, the first appears possibly with repeats, (2-3x) then the second one usually shows up and may repeat 1-2x.

This may not be a bug, but seven years into a game I have dozens of CMCs but only three shipping lines with no ships . Puts back in the need for many freighters to move infrastructure and colonists.
Firstly, check you have designed Freighters and Colony ships as the civs will build your designs. Second, check you have colony ship and freighter designs that the civs can afford. Also, don't forget you can subsidise the civs by giving them wealth to build more ships.
There were colony ships and freighters designed and built, though perhaps not affordable, the upgraded freighters cost 1250 each and the only change was the engines from the previous version. I tried the subsidy on the four shipping lines and two of them bought a freighter each. However, by this time I probably need colony ships more than freighters. Can you introduce a mechanism whereby I can bias my subsidy to produce freighters or colony ships? As an after thought with the advent of "free" infrastructure can you scrap infrastructure to get back the duranium on a recently terraformed world? (I know I should check it myself but can't until Monday
).

thanks for helping with former problems. But now i'm running a new game (just begun, cuz the other one i should gave up..) and i got this bug, that has been shown every couple of gamedays: (velocity of the game 1 day)
"Error in GetPopProduction"
Error 3021 was generated by DAO.Field
Basically what is happen it's that the progress in building stuff inside the industry tab of Economics window is not updating every day/turn and after 2-3 gamedays this meggase appear and the tab updates by itself...

Getting to the last turn before a PreFab PDC is slated to be completed. Turn is pressed, then getting:
"Error in CreatePDCComponents"
Error 3456 was generated by DAO.Fields
Item not found in this collection
The Fabs never subsequently show up in the industry tab to be assembled, nor are they visible to be loaded.
