Well, he DID qualify his statement: ...nobody sane in his mind...

Although I suppose not knowing US holidays is one thing (I don't know any of them either), demanding a patch on a weekend is something else.

Humans make mistakes. Programmers are humans. So we make mistakes (I am programmer too). Some of those mistakes are very unpleasant for users. As a programmer you have simply too many things to watch. It does not matter what is the project. The only way to avoid mistakes is to do nothing. I prefer development rather than nothing. This bug did not last long. Good work, Stardock!

Next time, if you have a problem with some serious bug: gather as much details as possible and report it. If it is a blocker for you, use backup! Stardock Central makes backups. If you don't use them when needed, it is your fault, not the fault of Stardock programmers.

With all respect, I see nothing on Stardock's game packaging to say that the contents are at a beta stage of development!

Yes, Stardock do put a lot into supporting the users and fixing bugs - but it is just NOT acceptable when a bug of this magnitude stops someone from actually being able to play the game!

Please stop trying to defend the indefensible - when a software bug stops the software from being used for what it was purchased for then it's a big problem. It is NOT possible to play the game with the fleet bug.

Reload the version of the game that your purchase price paid for ("as is" - see the EULA), and use that one. The ships should move fine. I believe on my Gold Edition disks that's, what, version 1.53? 1.4?

Anyway, everything after that is a free inducement from Stardock to get you to register and continue following their products. So show a little patience until 1.8f is made final, probably this week.

I think that the latest version is 1.80g. This version is already all right. This is not the beta version.

Stardock says I have DA ver 1.80g.100. However when I start up the game it says ver 1.80e in the corner of the screen. I'm experiencing that fleet bug. How do I update w/o stardock? Or more importantly why does stardock tell me I've got 1.80g?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I downloaded DA so I don't have a cd... I updated from DL (have CD someplace).

Thank you CariElf! I found your fix in "fixes for pathfinding." I'm a total noob so the thought of messing with my registry was terrifying... but it worked. Thanks!

I have the same problem, and I still have the fleet movement bug. Any way to update manually? edit: fixed by the registry fix

Ive been noticing some very weird events relating to this while using the auto-pilot.

Auto-piloting ships do not move arround other ships, planets or stations (mining or starbase). This occurence is very annoying because if it happens with a race your not at war with it causes the "are you sure you wish to do this? it will start a war!" message.

This also means that if you have a colony ship on autopilot if it passes a plannet that is already colonised it will attempt to (and fail to) colonise that planet rather than carry on to its destination
