Summary0018125: Enter Combat... Crash
DescriptionPlaying a Betrayal game (which is a depressing experience but nevermind) I entered a combat scene, searching for lost tech on the former Hydral homeworld, and got a blank screen. All that I saw was the speed slider at the bottom and all I could do was quit the game. As I did, I was told to file a bug report, so here I am.

I have Lost Technologies and Betrayed Hope both installed, obviously.

Attached are all the relevant logs I could find.

Hope that's enough.

Hmm, something went null somewhere.
Can you attach the most-recent save? One just before 9:01:08am

Oooo... sadly no, since I kept playing past the issue, by not running the mission, and I overwrote the saves. So I don't have the saves from that moment. However, I can send the two most recent saves of that same playthrough. I don't know if that will be in any way helpful, but it's the best I can do. Sorry.

Darn. The save at the point where it occurred would have let me look at a reproducible case. I'll check those saves though.

Good news, that save has the problem.

In the future, I'll remember to record the save files. But it might help if the request for error reports included a request for the save files. Or if the error logs included the save file bundled in.

Still, as a programmer myself, I should've thought of it.

The error log is just the output console saved to a textfile. The save file has to be done separately.

Anyway, I narrowed it down to a IsExpansionEnabled check returning false for Lost Technologies when the game goes to create a ship.

So my question is, did you start this game before getting Lost Technologies?

Yes. I did start the game before getting Lost Technologies.

Ah ha.
That explains that, then. The "start new combat" logic is checking a different place for valid units than other parts of the game (e.g. if a quest is available). Not something I expected.
I'll see if I can rectify that without breaking all the things.

I know what I need to do, I just have to find the time to [i]do[/i] it.

For 3.003:

* Fixed a crash bug that could happen when starting a game without the second expansion, then adding that expansion and continuing the game.

Thanks :)
