NOTE: The reporting of errors is on purpose, people have no idea that they were getting errors, so this was a way to notify them of these issues. This is mainly for windows & mac people since they don't run from a shell.
There is no need to submit bug reports if you don't have a actual crash.
All the maps errors need to be fixed by the authors, not us. The same goes with mods.

Thank you

thankyou for the new release, i have a question, when something in yellow comes up and some text says one thing or another, does that mean that there is a cheater??

@ Ortmaster:
No, that doesn't mean your opponent is a cheater!
We got a match up today and u called me this one, but i never used cheats!
I also got a yellow ingame errormsg after 30 sec playing time like: "Error. check your lockfiles..." and something about modules.

Great job team! I'll download this as soon as I get home and test it out.

this is awsome i can't wait to play online

Will there be any changelog or something? Yeah, i'm also curious about these yellow stderr messages. Are they supposed to be there, or just someone forgot to turn them off before building the release? (:

Because of a disability I play the single player games and use the easy difficulty level. Therefore, I really wish the difficulty level bug (ticket #2081) that's been broken since 2.3.4 would be resolved so I can continue with my campaigns. Thanks and keep up all the hard work!

Hey it's pretty damn good work! I tested it and it didn't crash, but I found small bug. I was playing skirmish on GreatRift with a "distance fog" option on. I produced assault gun borgs squad and loaded into Cyborg Transport. When I moved Transport on position and unloaded borgs, I moved Transport to base. I noticed that unloaded borgs didn't reveal a map until they moved:



Secondly, enemy was attacking my base with VTOLs so I builded some hurricane emplacements. When emplacement destroyed a VTOL game tells me there's an error. (stderr.txt attached, because of tons of chars)

Althrough it didn't crash.
Regards,
Rob.

Thank you very much everyone.

Fix: Don't allow a player to acquire more construction vehicles than the max amount allowed. (r11674, #2175)

I've had a crash resently in the very moment i gave a lot of droids to the host, but i think it was still 2.3.5_rc4.

Too bad that you didn't catch that bug in the 2.3.5 RC versions. If you did, then maybe there would have been a chance of it getting fixed in the final 2.3.5

Maybe cyborgs are in "Power Saving Mode" and need to move so they can activate again

Yet another visibility trouble. I'm having a problem using the "deity" cheat. When i use it (in skirmish), the terrain doesn't appear on minimap. I'm having this since 2.3.5 RCs, i think. Trunk is fine, but 2.3.5 isn't, so i'm curious wether it's known and fixed.
