Crash on conquer of alien race

from Stardock Forums
I have a recurring crash whenever I conquer a race. My transport takes the final planet of the alien race and then next turn crashes. Will try ot get a smart exception report on this one. It has happened in three games in a row.

lots of
'ASSERT ERROR in file :\projects\galciv\source\gamescr.cpp at line 2358.'
lines in the debug.err file.

Fixed it! I ended up having to reproduce it myself since the logical addresses from the last build had changed enough to not be useful. I guess I'm going to have to start keeping .map files from the alpha builds. :)

Excellent.

Can we get another build soon as this error limits the testing ability. You currently cannot test beyond the defeat of the first race.

We're planning on releasing an alpha build on Thursday.

Er...make that Friday. ;) THe new alpha will be full of new features though. A animated Ship Info Window has been added to the main screen, spice'n things up abit there. We've also got the "smart" window pop-up implemented (the newscreen, event window, and research window won't all pop up at the same time). Also implemented was a easier meathod of moving the screen around (ala Black and White), suggested by graphics guy AlexG. Hope it's worth the wait! :D
