"Fatal: 0" on starting the Basic combat tutorial.
« on: November 23, 2012, 12:58:21 PM »
In the just-relased version of Stafarer, when starting the basic combat tutorial, it crashes to desktop and shows a messagebox saying:
"Fatal: null
Check starfarer.log for more info"

I have tried to do a fresh install, with the same results. No mods present.

starfarer.log: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1823849/starfarer.log

Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core i5 2500K
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Running at 1920x1080p fullscreen
475 GB free disk space

If you need any more info, I'll try to provide it to you.

Running the hotfix, managed to get the same error again during the basic tutorial, likely because i killed the enemy ship during the strafing part. It crashed when the game attempted to make the enemy fire at me. Not worth a hotfix, but worth noting.

Ah, thanks - added to the TODO list. Probably need to make it so that the enemy ship can't actually get killed there. Thankfully, it's pretty tough to kill :)

I just started the Fleet Command tutorial and one of the Wasp wings was destroyed (I think, it was gone). That made it impossible to proceed. Also, the yellow indicator arrow continued to wander around on his own.

e/ argh, this time i accidentally assigned both wings to capture a point and could not proceed because the tempest was unable to capture-.-

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Hmm, I never managed to get the Wasps killed, but good point. I'll address that.

Just thought I'd mention that DESTROYING (not just disabling) the enemy ship during the first "give your weapons a try" segment makes it impossible to progress the tutorial past the "target with R" prompt, for the obvious reason that there's nothing to target. :P

The hotfix was for the tutorial.


Are you using any mods? Ones that haven't been updated are very likely to crash the game.
