I got a game ending bug-a newbie |
I loaded a game I have been playing for a few days on the 1.20 build. I encountered a problem were it couldn't save a game. Every time i tried to save it a message came up telling me there was an error and it wouldn't save it. When I finally gave up and decided to exit the game, a message came up telling me there was an access violation in the SE5.EXE file. Before this all happened I was trying to have troops occupy a planet that was rioting. I had troops on the planet but they were not showing up on the "occupying troops" window. They were in cargo and I couldn't figure out how to move them from cargo to occupy the planet. I cunsulted the manual but there was nothing about this. I like this game but lack of doumentation is very annoying and why play if I can't save? Please help.
Load Save Error
There appears to be a bug which can cause game save and game load failures. The best fix is to disable autosave, and save regularly. It also helps to exit the game and reload every once in a while. If you get a load error, load another save and then load the one you want within the game. If you get the save error quit the game and reload and try again. Sometimes you may have to reboot your computer first to get best results.
Can't help you with the
Can't help you with the error, but the troops thing you described was working properly. Occupying troops is only enemy troops on your planet (or your troops on an enemy planet). Your troops on your planet show up in the cargo list.
