Hello,

So the game was working for you at some point in time previously? Are you trying to allude to that in your post? Because that point is not very clear in your 'one-liner' prior to slapping in the debug.err. I do not know how to analyze the debug.err very well, but...

Are you trying to play a game you saved BEFORE you updated to v1.1, AFTER updating to v1.1? If that's what your doing it's possible that's what the problem is.

From this error about 50 time in a row...

"Debug Message: Can't find ship type Fleet in definitions"

I kind of wonder if your saved game has a type of ship in it that you made and then completely deleted later on.



Also:

I hate to break this to you, but a SoundMAX Digital Audio sound card(it's not even a card but it's an 'onboard' sound emulator) is about the worst peice of crap you can have for audio. And not only that, but the driver you have installed for it is incredibly ancient....

Driver Date: 5/6/2003 10:14:34

I strongly recommend you take a look and see if there's a newer driver for it than that one from 2003. That driver is 3 years old now. Furthermore, if you can afford it, I recommend you go out and purchase a decent sound card(perhaps a Soundblaster Audigy 2(or better)), go into the BIOS and disable the SoundMAX onboard audio, and then install the new sound card in an open PCI slot in your computer, and then download and install the newest drivers for the new sound card.

Hope that helps
