Hello,

I wanted to let you know about the game locking up solid on me when I used the Civilization Manager. I am using the 1.80f unofficial update.

There was a meeting of the United Planets Council. The vote was concerning what the minimum speed of a Constructor should be. A minimum of 5 parsecs won the voting.

My current 'Ion Constructors' could move 3 parsecs per turn. I launched one and found that it could now move 5 parsecs per turn. I selected one of my planets that was currently building Ion Constructors and decided to have it make a 'Constructor'(the original that comes with the game), since it was less expensive and would therefore build faster. That seemed to take ok.

So I decided I would use the Civilization Manager to change all colonies that were currently building Ion Constructors to... Constructors. I clicked on 'Ion Constructor' in the 'currently building' column. Then when I tried to click on 'Constructor' in the 'should now build' column, it wouldn't highlight, and I found the game to be locked up solid.

I had to press Ctrl+Esc and then right-click on DA on the taskbar and click 'Close', which brought up a dialog window that said the program was not responding, so I clicked 'End Now'.


I don't know if it would be of much help, but I saved the debug.err file. Please let me know where to send it if you want it. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual contained in it at the time the lock up occurred. There is an Error further up in it though, I think perhaps from something the AI was trying to do, about disbanding a starbase. I don't believe I was ever trying to disband a starbase anyway.

Regards
