And another error/bug...

[Taera]

If you close SEIV from the start menu via alt+f4 you get an access violation error. should i mail it to MM, or not bother them with such a small a bug?

buggity bug!

[Jack Simth]

Let me see if I have this straight...

We're bugging a bug who is wondering if it would bug MM to report a bug?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

which means we're being bugs.

[Taera]

umm... okay?

*bzzzz*

Under the heading of a minor bug ... I was playing a solo game, show ship lines, vd TDM Modpack, I attacked a Krill colonizer, and lost (damn DUC IV armed colonizers). After combat, I could see the ship movement lines for the enemy ship! I don't know if this is a common enough and important enough bug to report to MM 'tho. Or should I?

[Taera]

yea, report it. just in case it gets fixed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif would be even better if you still had the savegame

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not to complicate things, but I've successfully used alt+f4 to close SE4 several times.

[Taera]

umm, i meant from the very first window you get when starting SEIV - the one with the picture, quick start, new game, resume game etc.

231. You find what might be a super rare bug that does some strange stuff, is easy to solve, and no ne else has apparantly ever seen it.

umm no jack, this is not true for me, im not playing this game alot.. i was just trying something with racial setup and just kept pressing alt+f4 till i get out of the game -- and discovered the bug! lol

[Jack Simth]

I didn't mean to imply you were playing it a lot; I was just warning you that you fit at least one of the more obscure signs that you are addicted to the game.

hehe jack dont worry, i know what you meant and had a good laugh myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif yea i can see what you mean from my previous reply, that was a little too serious - im in a wierd mood tonight. and your right, i HAVE played the game a little too much and can be considered seriously addicted http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

(though i believe i am lucky to avoid any withdrawals when anything happens)

[Jack Simth]

Well, as long as you don't go through withdrawl, enjoy the addiction! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
