It probably wouldn't be that hard to make it so that you could set how often the game Auto saves. If Brad likes the idea, I could make it an option in the prefs.ini file that you could change yourselves until we get a bigger options screen.

LOL!
Maybe my brain is just getting tired, but I didn't really follow that...

I didn't think that you had. :p
Umm...you should always get whatever you get when you go in anomaly that turn...however, if you have your ship on auto-pilot, it won't pop up the message until you hit the turn button.
If you send me your autosave files, I'll need the AutoSave.sav file and the AutoSave folder. This is the file that is saved every 12 turns. If you want to send me a game that you saved yourself, it'll be the test.sav and test folder.
Can you guys send me your games and indicate in the e-mail if you were playing with autoturn, etc.? Maybe if I have more samples I'll have an easier time tracking this down...I'm playing a game today, so hopefully I'll be able to reproduce it too... [email protected]

Heh...enjoy it while it lasts...it's a one line of code fix... --Cari
Well, I had fixed one thing that caused this bug (apparently more than one thing causes it) yesterday before the build went up, so whether your instance of the bug was the same as Fredrik and Cunak's is debatable. Anyway, I tried reproducing the bug with the saved games again with autoturn turned off, and I was able to reproduce it a couple of times but since I couldn't see what was going on with the AI ship that was causing it because it was hidden under FOW, I wasn't sure what was g
Umm...I really don't know what the problem was. I was comparing the file sizes of the the file that was supposedly missing with the same file from a good build and they were exactly the same size, date, etc, since it hadn't been changed.
Ick...that happened to Kris, too....We deleted his directory, hit uninstall, and then installed it again and it worked fine. The file it's choking on was in the right place and everything, and he had done a clean install, too...
Argh...actually, they were being saved, just overwritten... No, I don't think that Brad has done anything with the political parties yet.
Fredrik, I loaded both of the saved games that you sent me, pressed the turn button and things progressed normally.
You can replace the text in your file with this text: [Setup] PlayerEmpire = Terrans PlayerName = George W.

CVS (our version control software) doesn't like that file...
errggh...no, if you see >>>> it's not good
Me, Brad, Pat, Larry's son, and Scott, won vs. Larry, Paul, Alex, Mark and Angie for the first game. The second game, after Brad, Angie and Mark left, we mixed up the teams a bit and didn't really keep score.
Well, I've been working on a couple of different things, like fixing crashes and memory leaks. Grr. I hate memory related problems! I hate seeing them tally in BoundsChecker (not to mention it takes like twice as long, depending on how many leaks). So, if we didn't break anything since last Friday, the game is a lot more stable. There's still a couple of mem leaks left that will still be reported in debug.err, but those are really small and I haven't been able to figure out anything
Yeah, that's how I have to do it on my laptop. I use auto pilot a lot on my laptop. If your laptop is your primary computer you could always get a keyboard to hook up to it.

hmm...I don't remember not being able to take screenshots in ME when I had it on my laptop. In fact, I'm absolutely sure that I did take screenshots from my laptop, even though I had to paste them in MS Paint...in fact, I just went and found someone in the office who is running ME and had her take a screenshot. You might want to check your BIOS settings to make sure that it didn't get turned off...if not that, maybe your key is broken or you have num lock on or something... You do kno
Well, I didn't see this, but then I also went and tweaked that code before I tested your report. :) I usually look at the code first to see if there's anything obvious and there were a couple of things that looked suspicious.
I think that being able to double your nav points if you're playing on extreme easy isn't going to be a problem. If I play on extreme easy, I either wipe out the AI in short order or get bored after awhile because the AI doesn't mobilize quickly enough, depending on the size of the map. So I think that only raw beginners will use the Easy setting, and they'll appreciate the cushion. Of course, I was playing a game that was just under average difficulty (I checked in the debugger and it was 38
Jack, is this with auto-turn disabled?
I don't know, but I want a feature to hide the puking face...every time I see it, I want to puke...

Yeah...it's been on pre-order at the site for at least a week...
