ComCitCat in Re: emergency stop!!!:

Your problem obviously is linked to fighters - especially free fighters at bases maybe or maybe not including some script to undo turnstuff at a place. So since you said there is nothing to worry about concerning spoilers...

JFTR: "free fighters" alone is too simple as an explanation. Free fighters are no different from a client's point-of-view than fighters you bought last turn or fighters which someone dumped on your planet. The client never sees a turn with "before" and "after free fighters".

There must be something in addition.

I hope I'm not telling an embarassing secret by saying that Allan seems to use VPA. VPA doesn't have a reputation of breaking turns. (But if you have a hint what the problem is, I might try to fix it.)

Guilty in the meaning of accuse...

Indeed it is VPA (latest revision). And I suspect either the vpaX.db or one of the .dat files. The mistake used to occur while unpacking the RST. And the ammounts differ the more often you re-copy the RST and unpack it. They only disappear, if you create a new folder and start the game anew with the actual turn. But the history is gone in such cases. If you copy the VPA7.db in the new game-folder the mistake reappears.

Haven't had that problem for years. And this year, twice...

What abaout our game's end?
