Re: Question on Empire Status screen in Vanilla game

You said vanilla, but I never see fleet numbers that high, especially from the computer. When you say "Vanilla", that means to me the game without any mods beyond the official patches. Just what you get after installing from the CD. I'm curious what you actually mean in this case. Bear in...

Re: Question on Empire Status screen in Vanilla game

Thanks for the help! Right now I'm lucky the Ferengi are more interested in attacking the Klingons and Romulans than me. It gave me time to research Defiants, bring in some important minors, and build lots and lots of orbitals. Next time the Ferengi send 90 ships at one of my colonies they'll be in ...

Question on Empire Status screen in Vanilla game

So I'm playing a vanilla game on impossible difficulty, I'm the Feds, at war with the Ferengi, while the Ferengi are also at war with the Romulans. The other major powers had all been at war with each other in the early game and after awhile they had wiped out the Cardassians, while I stayed out of ...

Revolutionary but Probably Impossible Mod Idea

Simple in theory, but probably impossible to execute as a mod: changing the player's empire mid-game. Example: You're playing as the Feds and you're kicking the AI empire's butts. Okay. Now suddenly, at, say, turn 200, you are in control of the Romulans instead and the AI takes over for you as the F...

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

I've played a few long games now with randoms and the Borg both on, but autosave off, and there have been no crashes. I think autosave was the culprit.

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

Try this one. that save crashes, integrity check did not help but found a few errors. from windows event log fault address is 0x0000db4a/40e74a in sub REPAIR_TRAIN 40E5D0 I did notice you were playing with random and borg on? if you play with both off game is much more stable. but that is just my o...

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

Thanks! Here's the save. Sorry I'm so late with this, work has been a bear... Just tested your saved game went 3-4 turns without crash, did you do something during that turn? running integrity check give no info to error. II think I might have sent you the wrong save. It's in the seventh slot but t...

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

it crashes when I get deep in--maybe around turn 250 or so. But it isn't just a crash, it simply refuses to work with that saved game again no matter how many times I reboot. Safest way is: - Turning OFF the autosave feature (has more than one unsolved bug) - manually usage of 3+ save slots, overwr...

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

That by some circumstances the game becomes unstable in later turns, is about normal with BotF. Usually it is some AI fleet order loosing it's target or another fleet related issue that can also be fixed by removing the ships. I'd be interested to see if UE can identify and fix this with my improve...

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

Would you be interested in looking at the saved game? I would take a look at to see if any improvement can be made but don't expect a fixed save. I don't need the save fixed, I started a new game. I'm just curious if you could find out from it what exactly is going wrong, whether it's a corrupt ins...

without seeing the saved game, everything is just a guess.

you may have just gotten a corrupt install.
Would you be interested in looking at the saved game?

Re: BOTF All in One installer 2.0.0 (Released 7-10-2020)

there are bugs in vanilla that can cause saved game errors, so yes mods may have been patched for some errors, but this would also depend on when mod was last updated. sounds like you enjoy low tech games? these tend to last longer and the longer the game the more chance saved game errors become. S...
