Between range error checks, and the my games getting toasted I'm not impreesed. When can we expect the next patch? And will it fix these problems? Think I'll wait 'till then to play again as right know SEIV is just fustrating.

They are working on it. We just got a download for the beta testers to work with today. MM is aware of the problems and is working on them. Please remember, if you find a bug or have a problem, send it to them so that they can address it.

They really are trying to put the best possible product out to all of us. No just good enough, but the best.

Comar:

Yes, and it shows in the way they respond to the customers comments and request!

I was very happy to see that one of the changes that I lobbied for and supported was included in the 1.11 patch.

Something else that I mentioned that I'd like to pass along to y'all....PLEASE include a list of which Data Files have been altered with new Patch items. There are ALOT of Data Files (especially once you get into the individual AI files for 20 races) and trying to go through them all to see if anything has been changed is a mindblowing task.

A simple listing of the files that have any changes from the previous build could go a long way towards saving the sanity of those of us who have heavily customized our sets.

Thanx!

Danny how are you getting range check errors ? What happens ? In the beta i've only gotten them under very specific circumstances so maybe it is something you can avoid. By the way, MM did 17(!) patches on SE3 if I remember right, not because it was overly buggy but because people asked for them.

I got the error when I set the max. system to 255, changed it down to 200 and it works fine, even in my current game with 255 systems.

I'm just a beta tester, not an employee of either company. Check the history file in your game whenever you put a patch in. The changes are in the history file.
