Re: Game crashes after accepting membership offers

Cheers, SCT! Good to see you're still around.


Appreciate the heads-up on the rare/sporadic issues you listed. If it looks I've perhaps come across them, I'll try to remember and post about it here (and upload a save if possible). :)

Re: Game crashes after accepting membership offers

Good to know. On the surface of things, #1 would seem to be the most likely issue/fix, but I'm guessing #2 or #3 could just as easily have resolved whatever the problem was.

Re: Game crashes after accepting membership offers

Thanks thunderchero , I'll give the beta installer a try. In the meantime, I've attached the save-game file. EDIT: Yep, the game no longer crashes when I accept their membership proposals. Interesting. Well I'm glad that did the trick, even though I'm still puzzled as to what the problem is/was. Tha...

Game crashes after accepting membership offers

This is a new one for me... I was playing as the Feds last night, and immediately encountered the Bynars, and then the Halkans the following turn. Both races offered to join me as soon as I met them. However, if I accept either membership proposal, the game then crashes when I hit end turn. If I rej...

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

The game undeniably has some issues right now, but I'm still enjoying it nonetheless. I expect further patching will smooth out a lot of the rough edges.

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

Personally, I'm stoked for this one. It's quite literally a melding of my two favorite space 4x games of all time -- BOTF and Stellaris -- so Star Trek: Infinite is pretty much the game I've been dreaming of. :up:

Re: POLL: TECH LEVEL STARTS

I always start myself at Tech level 1, with the other empires at least Tech level 2.

If I'm playing as the Federation or Ferengi, however, then I put the other empires at tech level 3. (Except the Ferengi; I put them at no higher than Tech level 2, due to how well they usually do.)

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

...Except now my game is crashing whenever I click on the Heavy Cruiser 1 or Heavy Explorer in the Federation tech tree. (It did not do this when I started this game.) Sigh.

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

You say the issue is new in UM5.5? That is correct, yes. To the best of my knowledge/recollection, I've never encountered this bug in vanilla BOTF, or in any other mod. I'm also quite certain I didn't experience this issue with the previous version of UM5. If you really want to avoid this crash you...

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

I'm now running into a consistent bug (that I've not seen before): Playing as the Federation, the game crashes when I click the End Turn button -- but only if I have multiple Colony Ships grouped together in the same task force while terraforming a planet together. If they're terraforming the same p...

Re: Games will not start from launcher on Windows 11

Huh, I seem to be lucky in this regard. My PC that I bought last year came with Win11 pre-installed (which I still hate, btw), yet I've not had any real problems launching/playing BOTF. And yes, that's with using the launcher version from here. My genuine sympathies for Elson_Vi and anyone else with...

No, it should save everything you did during that turn right up to the point you actually saved the game.

Re: How to end a War

Unfortunately, the AI in BOTF tends to not recognize when it's beaten. As such, often times the only way to "end" a war is by conquering the other empire into submission. Occasionally, it will be smart enough to sue for peace after losing only a system or two, but in my experience, that's ...
