I just installed public beta version 1.00.32 and I then went to reload the game I was playing. I received an error message, "error loading game, list index out of bound (76)". I then started a new game. It seemed to work ok then I tried to load a ship template as was mentioned in the Matrix forum. It could not find the ship design as the person in that forum had discovered. Do you think these problems are related?
Did I do anything that could contribute to this problem? Yes, I have modified three files in the data folder, the German ship names that applies to the 1900 start, the Austrian ship names (both to remove the diacritical marks), and the research areas 3 file. The game played fine after these changes so they weren't done incorrectly. The fact they were done at all would have prevented me from installing updates to rtw2 but I have been able to install updates to rtw3.
I'm gonna guess that williammiller will want me to have an uncorrupted version of the game first, so I will go ahead and uninstall and reinstall the game, then reinstall 1.00.32. I'll report back, probably tomorrow if the problems still exist.

Hello beagle! Thanks for the report; indeed, if you see this issue with the un-modded version of the game we certainly want to know. I'm not certain if altering the ship names would cause any issues with the changes to the new save game system or not, but to be safe it might be best to test with a clean game. |

I made a comment on the matrix forums about being unable to load ship templates in 1.00.32. I run the matrix version with a few mods, but to check I also did a clean install of the beta on steam and got the same issue. To replicate, just start a new game, go to the ship designer, go to the graphics tab and on the far right click load design template, pick any…
I got a series of alternating error messages. This didn’t happen in 1.00.27, because I’ve gone back to that version now and it’s absolutely fine. May be it’s related to the new data format for ship designs in saves and template-loading looking for the new schema or something….
He’s a weird thing I found later.. it actually does load the ship, all the numeric values appear to load but the ship’s picture is corrupted or absent, but if you click through all the error messages and then click the turret arcs button, the ship will re appear..…

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled up to version 1.00.32. Still cannot load a design from a template. In addition I saw another report in the matrix games forum about the inability to build a ship from a foreign shipyard. I was unable to do that as well. I have high hopes for this update, it sounds great. However I believe it has some serious issues that need to be resolved that can't be explained by me messing with data files.
One more caveat. I have Windows 11 on this machine. I have a desktop with windows 10 that the game works fine with version 26 loaded. Windows 11 seems to be the cause of the problem with diacritical marks so it may or may not contribute to this problem.

I recreated my attempts to load templates and build ships in foreign yards when it hit me between the eyes what jace11 was saying.
Started a new 1890 game as USA with fleet size 8. Tried to load template B9U1 and got error message that the template could not be found. Clicked through 3 or 4 error messages and there was a design for a battleship that I think is B9U1, without an image. Clicked on turret arcs per jace11 and an image appeared. Still can't build in a foreign yard, but I need to change my opinion of serious issues to a bit of a bother. If no one else has problems loading a game, per my first complaint, I probably had some bad data in that game.

I will push this over to Fredrik W to see what we can do to resolve the issue. |
