For this update, we fixed a bug with obsoleting ships that was causing missing graphics and crashing. I believe that this fix will also prevent the corrupted save game issue for new games started in 1.80c, but I'm afraid that the current corrupted games are permanently broken. We also fixed another low res ship thumbnail.

Hopefully we won't need to make another update to 1.8 for awhile so that we can go full steam ahead on Twilight of the Arnor.

This is the bug that destroyed my Bunglers custom race game - by corrupting all of it's save files. Anyway, now I guess it's safe to declare obsolete ships as obsolete. Updating right now.

I was able to submit a 1.8b on the meta, http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=player&id=14749 so it shouldn't be impossible.

xNaquada,

Is it when you go to submit a game that you get errors, or do you get errors when trying to log in?

Can you please e-mail me at carielf@stardock.com with the text of any error messages you are receiving, when you are receiving them, and if the error is occurring when you are submitting a game, please zip the game and attach it as well.

Will there be any fixes out for the "autopilot fleet problem" that is posted? After I installed DA 1.80g i can't auto pilot fleets. I can only make them move 1 turn worth of moves. Only happened to me after 1.8......

I update regularly have TA latest and do not have the problem in there.

Thank you for any assistance. It kills the fun to have to move fleets manualy or break them apart to travel, which exposes them to danger.
