Default Range Check Error

We are running a multiplayer game with some AIs and no mods. As I go to run host, I get a Range Check error and the game locks up. I also loose my player file. It happens in every game at about the time races start to get cruisers or bigger. Help?

If you have a save game file maybe email it to MM with the game setup. or maybe hold off on continuing until after the patch and see if the patch fixes it.

just a couple of ideas. good luck.

I have found that most of these "Range Check" errors have been fixed by the 1.19 patch.
I have been playing multi-player as well, as the host.

We already have installed 1.19. Right now we are trying a new game with less AI's. Lets see what happens. Thanks Ivan

I hate to ask such an obvious question, but... are you sure everyone is using the full Version of the game? Since the error appears around the time you get cruisers (or soon after), maybe someone is using a demo Version, which only allows ship sizes up to cruiser?

Could also be that someone is using a race they've used in a different game. There was a mention in the upcoming patch fix list about ship designs appearing for the wrong race when re-using empires...

RCE's were posted by a lot of gamers see earlier. Aaron will try to fix this in upcoming patch.

BTW already released now but I have not yet checked if all RCE's are fixed

I dohave the latest Version. And the other PCs we play on are on my own Network at home. I downloaded the latest patch. Lets see if this helps. We also stopped using as many AI players, this has seemed to help so far. Thanks for the help. Ivan
