Official v4.7 Bugs Thread

[Elmo]

Sorry if this has already been reported or if this is not the right place for this.  Just started a new game using the latest download and patch and I opened the Class Design screen.  I clicked on the Type dropdown and selected Ship.  It immediately gave me the following error:

Error in cbo Type_Click
Error 381 was generated by Aurora
Invalid property array index

When I hit OK it generated another error:

Error in cbo Type_Click
Error 3708 was generated by DAO.Database
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query ' and ComponentID IN (Select SDComponentID from ShipDesignComponents where TypeAllowed=2)'.  Make sure it exists and its name is spelled correctly.

And when I hit OK it generates yet another error:

Error in cbo Type_Click
Error 91 was generated by Aurora
Object variable or With block variable not set

After clicking OK I get a Continue? popup warning me that selecting this option will remove some systems from my design so I said NO at which point it went back to the 91 error above and the Type was changed to PDC instead of Ship.

Something else that I noticed for the second time is that after running Aurora my Firefox Bookmarks background color changes from white to an offwhite.  Odd.

I have a vague recollection that there's a "new" button on the class design page that you need to hit in order to get a new design to start editing.  I think I ran into similar problems to what you're reporting a few years ago when I forgot to do this.  Can't check this since I'm away from home.  

Another possibility is that your database and executable are not on the same version - see Steve's response a few pages back in this thread.

Aurora changes the system color lookup table (or something like this) - my browser gets all sorts of weird colors when I'm playing

OK, thanks John.  Will look for the possibilities you mentioned.

Started new campaign, started running into this error, related I think to NPR combat and settings they are trying to use.

Got a 30009 error on the Research screen while trying to start a research project.

Got a 30009 error on the Research screen while trying to start a research project.

I think I have fixed this one for v4.8. it shouldn't cause any problem beyond the popup. Just re-select the items for the research project.

I managed to reproduce this. I'll fix it for v4.8. In the meantime, it won't be a problem as long as you have at least one class. Just press the New button (bottom left) to create your first class before trying to select this dropdown.

Great, thanks.

I've started getting an error 3420 generated by DAO.Recordset.  Object Invalid or no longer set.
It's coming from NPRPopPlanning.


It's not stopping the game, it's just irksome at the moment.

I'm having his same problem. After 10 years of gameplay i've started to get this error every 5 days turn...for now it's only annoying but, since it's related to NPR, i fear that could end up with a screwed up NPR somewhere in the galaxy. Do i have to send the DB?

[EagleMountain]

HappY New Year and yes I live in Denmark. So , is our decimal seperator. Will try it later today. Thanks. Will it always be like this or is there something you can do?

Yes, it will be like this for the foreseeable future. I have looked into this issue in the past and it looks like it would be a lot of work to set up the program to handle both decimal separators. If someone knows an easy way to handle this though, I am open to suggestions

Steve

Hi Steve,

I can confirm that this was indeed the problem. Not a real solution for me though, since I forget to do it before and after a game.

Would it be possible for Aurora to change the regional settings to say UK when launched and back to what it were before?

It's always me, but this time i stumbled upon something big...or at least looks like that...

It's quite difficult to describe in english for me...i'll do my best.

Well, i was having GREAT fun, when on a given day (1st November 2035) the game simply stopped showing me the Population and Production screen.

When i click on Economics, or press F2, or select the icons Colony Summary, Industrial Production and Research the game says Loading Economics for a few seconds, as always, but then nothing happens. If i Alt-Tab, i can see a window opened called "Population and Production", but when I select it i see only the desktop. No error message, nothing at all, i simply don't see the screen. Everything else works perfectly...leaders, ship design, Task groups...i can continue the game, but obviously i can't do much without that screen.

Even though it looks like a windows problem, i can replicate it on 3 different machines, one with XP, one with Vista and one with win7. The problem only occurs when i open my current campaign...if i start a new one the pop&prod screen comes back normally.

Since i obviously forgot to backup the DataBase (I'm not even sure that the DB it's the problem, though) i'm pretty much desperate; i was LOVING the game.  

Please, if Steve or anyone else could help me rescue my game i'll do all in my powers to grant him sanctity. Just give me a word and i'm sending you the .db

P.S. I'm attaching what i see on win7 if i hoover the mouse over the icon it pops up in the application bar. A white screen...

Make sure the Economics window is definitely closed and is not showing in the task bar. Then on the main menu bar find the Miscellaneous menu and select Reset Window Positions. Then trying opening the Economics window again. Please let me know if that fixes it.

I've no idea how that could happen, since i didn't moved it, but you've just saved my day for the second time in a week!  
It worked like a charm.

Anyway, from now on, i'm starting to back up the db on a regular basis. Let me know if you still need it for that Error 3420.
Thanks!
