beta testers needed

[thunderchero]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for members to do some beta testing on next installer update.

Members who participate by testing and reporting there experience and/or any issue will be eligible to have their user name added to the end credits of vanilla install.

Beta testers should be able to at least play a few games on mods you might not normally play, as well as your favorite mods

If you are interested just reply "interested" and I will PM you the links. Also please post mods you are interested in testing.

all experiences and/or any issues should be reported in this topic

I called legendary beta tester Stevie Wonder to examine the ECM ship textures and weapon animations,
but he had to decline since he is tied up with his voluntary work as school bus driver...

Just for the record, I don't think I have the time to be a beta tester, sorry.

Inital Report for the New Installer:

Installation was painless as usual.
Played 3 hours of UM5 and so far no outstanding issues, I have BOTF, ECM and BOP installed as well and will try to get some play time of each done.
but so far its as expected.

I sent you a PM but I give up here are the links

file out of date and removed

The links above have the latest ECM updates and UM5 missing images plus some other small fixes found by UE integrity check.
All other mods and vanilla have all integrity check errors fixed also

If no new errors are reported and When next update of UE is ready, New version of UE will be added to installer and then official installer will be released.

If crash issue persists with latest hotfix update try removing this patch for diagnosis: viewtopic.php?p=57729#p57729

The sporadic minor race issue sounds strange.

Dafedz did not apply "Move Fleets due to Treaty Fix for Contested Sectors & Stranded Fleets (updated)" patch to UM5

and agreed they are some strange minor race crashes, plus no other turn processing crashes reported

some strange minor race crashes

Dafedz reported issues with "Minors without Main Buildings Fix" (related to the outdated and removed) minor race special structure options.

However, there is still some possibilities for issues: viewtopic.php?p=33859#p33859


- changed Dilithium refinery building ID (part of patch code)

Code: Select all

004413F6   83FA 06          CMP EDX, 6  // refinery

- Conflict with outdated parts of "Allow Intel Buildings to remain after conquest": viewtopic.php?f=294&t=3115


- sub_4C22F8 Minor_race_blg_IDs issues?


- edifice.bst issues with Excluded_empires_BitMask?

- The End of turn crashing, when i restart the game and hit continue, it goes to the next turn but won't if I go back from saved game (on that turn)
- New issue in later rounds when "new" ships are researched, if you scroll over or try to click on (strike cruiser IV) the game immediaty crashes

still need to ask what installer version? as far as I know all missing images have been fixed in version 2.0.3a (per UE integrity check)
what resolution did you install? (this is important)

"strike cruiser IV" Keldon? Qu'Vat? or D'Xokra?

Note; there should be a crash log with missing image name

- The End of turn crashing, when i restart the game and hit continue, it goes to the next turn but won't if I go back from saved game (on that turn)

If you are re-starting saves this could be due to 18 fleet taskforce patch, this has always been problematic patch.
