You have both decimal and thousands set to '.'.  "Simbolo raggruppamento cifre" should be either a ',' or a ' '.

Did you only change the decimal separator? In my experience you also need to change the thousands' separator from a period to a comma. Essentially, they need to switch places. This also has to happen before you create a new game. If the game is already created, the damage is done, because some values are loaded only at that point.

Nope, something still doesn't work. I think I set every separatore to period, but still research points, and instant build points seem to don't work

This in race creator
This after created race

Here my settings:

Normally it should look like 80 000 for the research points just so you know, but 80000 also works in my testing. I guess your best bet is to manually do it every time for them (delete the periods).

Right, the tricky part is that "simbolo raggruppamento cifre" has to be a comma, while "separatore decimale" has to be a period. That should fix it.

I get it, thanks. Gonna try right now, it should work. I just changed decimal separator, not the thousands' one

Ok, thanks I have changed it, but still I have the problem. Maybe I need to restart PC? Or reinstall everything? Thanks

That is most likely cause of your problems. Aurora is made with period as decimal separator. You need to change to period for Aurora to work correctly.

Hello guys, maybe I'm doing something wrong istalling Aurora #C. When I create a new game, it seems I don't have any Search Points to assign as usually a new start game has, and research speed is super fast, even if I'm a new race, just created with standard values. So, I install starting from 1.5.1, then I patch it to 1.9.0, then to 1.9.3, just deleting and copying new files. Is it right? I'm a bit confused  ??? ???. Thanks

I am still wondering why those files need to be deleted rather than overwritten? I mean, I am overwriting them since 1.0; and have encountered no issues at all... so where does this idea come from?


It comes from "bad" Windows file management processes, which can 'version' the files instead of replacing them -- thus leaving Aurora silently running one or more of the old files.

Holy frack I think I got v193 working.    Here's what I did:

1.    Download all necessary install files.    I used only the files that were being served by what I presume to be Steve's website (aurora2.   pentarch.   org).    The applicable archive file versions are: V151Full, V170, V173, V180, V190, V192, V193.   

2.    Extract each archive into a separate folder.   

3.    Before copying contents of each sequential patch into the V151 folder, delete any conflicting files in the V151 folder.    Repeat this process until you get to V193.    Copy contents of each patch into V151 folder after deleting conflicting files in V151 folder.   

4.    Once all patch files have been copied, run Aurora. exe from the V151 folder and you should now be running V193 of Aurora.    At this point you might rename the V151 folder to avoid future confusion about versions.   

The game is now working on my windows 10 machine error free thus far.    My previously reported V180 error message no longer appears.   

Anyway hope this helps someone else get this amazing game running properly.    It is worth the effort!
