You're best bet is to e-mail your saved game file to . Be sure to provide necessary details such as your operating system, the name of the system you're trying to access etc.

My best guess is that it would be some sort or glitch with the ring world.

Try and be more descriptive when posting about a bug. You're first post provided little information on the problem, so most people had no real idea what you were talking about.

Calm down, man...that's a pretty harsh attack there, unjustified, and not likely to do anything more than push folks away rather than get any suggestions, four days or not (time stamps indicate quite a bit less). It's not as though you provided a whole lot of information to go on.

I wish I could help you, and I'd bet that I'm not the only person who feels that way. Could it be that nobody has a clue what the problem is that you're experiencing?

All I can suggest is to take a turn that avoids that system and see if you can access it the next turn. If nothing else, that could tell you how deep the problem goes. (Well, I can also suggest that you be a bit more diplomatic in how you post. Acidic comments aside, this IS a friendly board where folks generally treat others with respect and without the favoritism that you have convinced yourself is here.)

okay im sorry for being harsh it just seems like i posted several times and people were there
and nobody cared to try and help the only response i got was that i was not being specific enough then i tried
to be more specific then nothing from anybody but to email to malfador that didn't help much.

i dont have a modded game just modified it myself,vehicle size,system names, settings.
i changed the max # systems to match the system names.and by the way the system name is there and i have accessed the system several times before even after patching to 1.58,then boom no can do its the only system i can't access now i don't understand
what to do. i dont want to loose this saved game i have many hours in this particular game.and i am a old dude
,scifi nut from the past started with se3.i have 12 kids so my time is limited.so any suggestions would be very
much appreciated.

thanks

First off. sell your kids. you can get alot of money for them.... Laughing out loud and it will free up your time.
Did you try ending the turn and accessing the system in the next turn?
We're making suggestions.. but if you don't follow them, we're going to stop and you can figure it out yourself.
We don't know what's going on. So just try some of the things we say. If they work. GREAT! if they don't then tell us and we can try something else.
You have to be careful when you edit files. There could be an enemy ship in the system that the game can't handle. he may leave the system in the next turn...
you may be hoopla'd and have to start over.
How many systems do you have it set too? From what i've read the max amount the game can handle is 255 and in my experience it doesn't handle over 100 very well.

PS. please don't create new subjects with every post.

yes i have tried to access it in another turn same thing happens,i have even done things such as colonized other systems then in another turn tried to access the system then it freezes up.
the way it has acted so far i could play the game as normal and just not access the system and be okay ,but i dont know?
as far as the systems i have 178 to match the system names that i added to long time ago(meaning several months ago) but the system it created i the game dont have that many .i did that off of a post a long time ago when people were messing with that ,what i dont understand is why its been fine until now.

I haven't tried that yet; but did you change the number of systems AND the maximum number of systems? I read that it was something like that. I might be a little innacurate. There's suppossed to be two settings to change n the files. Then, again this might not even be related.

from what i remember you have to add names to the system names.txt
then in the settings.txt at the top make sure the max is more than 100,
then further down in the file make sure the # of systems match the number of names in the system names.txt

what version did you start playing this game with? just not clear if you patched the game in the middle of your game or not? if you patched it in the middle then your best bet would maybe be to copy the save, uninstall SEV and put the previous patch back until you're done with that game.

If not then just ignore me.

i believe this game was started on the first patch witch was 1.25.
i did uninstall and reinstall, but i patched with the new 1.58 version i am going to do it again and
use the 1.44 ver. and try that thanks for the idea........

okay i tried that didnt work i guess because the saved game read as 1.58 so it couldnt access it.
the only think i can think of is the 1.58 changed a file on that saved system, because when i look
at the planets in the planet list they changed from oxygen to other atmospheres and no ring planet.
so im stuck with that game and hoping it doesnt change any thing else, and try to play the game out
and not ever access that system if that is possible?

so thanks for the help guys!!!
