hey, i replied to another thread with my same problem but i guess it belongs here. (sorry for inconvenience if someone has to edit that other post, or it get mixxed up with this)
ive got an error 155.
Its an Trans Newtonian start, but i started with 0 initial research / ship points. Game is at ~40-50 years in progress. Its an Random star System game.
I tried adding an research (i think it was Superdense Armor or Theta shield. I got an error with null pointer (object reference not set to an instance of an object). If i think correctly is was function 2160 but im not sure about this. Thought it would be smart to save the game, and text if it reproduces, but now when i start the game and click on any button it get an error 155 null pointer (object reference not set to an instance of an object). It appears like my race it gone.

if you need more information, feel free to ask, gonna keep an eye on here for a while (also im curious what just happened)
There are no races in the database at all. 155 is the handler for all the main map buttons, which would throw an error without any races.
2160 is the calculation of construction capacity so I doubt that would be the original error.
When the game is updated, it replaces the current database information with that from your game. If there are errors when you save, then the database could be corrupted. In that case, delete Aurora.db and rename AuroraDBSaveBackup.db to Aurora.db. That will restore your game to the last time you saved.
Aurora keeps that file as the backup for your previous save. There is also AuroraDBPreviousSaveBackup.db which is a backup of the previous backup so you can restore from two saves ago.
