Bug Reports:
This release probably contains bugs, please report them so they can be fixed.

See BugReporting for details, in short:

• Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in SVN, the ticket will be closed.
• If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
• If there is no report yet, make a new ticket.
• Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
• The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems, so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... if you have.
• When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).

still can't change screen resolution, I think there is already a bug report open for this bug with the master, would be nice to change screen resolutions, rather then using whatever your desktop res is

but yeah, the unit flickering is fixed, that is something at least

keep up the good work devs, as its so nice to play this awesome game again, after so long of not playing it

edit

units still not following orders correctly, retreat at medium damage doesn't always work, and the return / hold fire keeps resetting to attack all,

just started a fresh game, I can post a bug report on this, if you want me to? I do have a save, not sure if it will help, I'm also getting

Code: Select all

error   |08:45:20: [scrBuildDroid] A script is trying to build a different number (4) than 1 droid.
error   |08:45:46: [scrBuildDroid] A script is trying to build a different number (2) than 1 droid.

on a regular basis, the log file is full of the above error, if that helps,

this installer also has a encoding issues like in 2.3.8 installer, but more glitchs. Seems like all text that I've translated in wrong encoding.

[sensor]

We continue to have problemswhen trying to load a saved game.It appears have any window with the message , and disappearsvery quickly that it did not even have time to read it .
In the previous version was the same.

[Asgorath]

I can´t load a savegame either
When I try to load a savegame the game starts loading, then freezes.
After 10 to 15 seconds of freeze the game closes itself and I end up on my own desktop.
Like sensor already mentioned, Error-Message disappears when crashing back to desktop, so there is no chance to read it...

[NoQ]

Graphical flickering is really fixed in this release.

[Raem_Lylar]

Note: Old savegames are incompatible.

Are Campaign saves from the previous master broken?

[Per]

Yes. Expect savegames to break between each master build.

[Delphinio]

it restretch 16:9 videos to 4:3 right?

[cybersphinx]

it restretch 16:9 videos to 4:3 right?

Yeah, 4:3 is hardcoded at the moment, since there were no alternative videos available.

[Per]

I can´t load a savegame either

Looks like loading of non-weapon turret targets is broken in this snapshot. Fixed in master. Thanks for the bug report.

Can you publish a new master fixing this problem? Makes longer games more possible which increases the chance of finding other bugs.

[mescaline]

I have problem with loading of snapshot:
When it shows load menu, I see "opengl 2.0 is not supported on your system". I have Win7 32bit.

[matthewfarmery]

what is your graphics card? the OS has nothing to do what opengl you have

[cybersphinx]

It has insofar that the graphics drivers included in Windows by default usually have crappy OpenGL support.
