Making such a report and then not attaching your savegame... it's just cruel ;) More seriously, if you post the savegame I may be able to reproduce the bug in my own environment and thus actually get a line number and indication of what specific thing was null that shouldn't have been. |
|
|
Ok, I just did a search through the diffs between 4.069 and 4.070 and there was only one addition in that function and it was possible (though unlikely) for the field in question to be null. I've added a defensive null-check for 4.071. But it would still be good if you could attach your savegame so I can test my fix against your actual situation. Thanks for letting us know :) |

added the save file |
|
|
Psst, in the future, finish your games before updating, new versions sometimes change how the AI units are distributed, making them more or less common and more or less weak. a savefile will only have the strength changes, not the number changes. |
|

It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to play a stable game (in terms of bugs and balance), it's generally best to stick to the official version. If you want to try the new stuff and (perhaps more importantly) help us test by catching and reporting bugs, the latest beta is typically best (but it's certainly a good idea to keep backups of the saves). |

Ok, thanks very much for uploading the save, I was able to confirm that it died without the null-check, and works fine with it, so it should be fine in 4.071 which hopefully will be out sometime today. |

Thanks, great support as always! |
