missing ships

from GalCiv2 Forums
I had a fleet of three custom ships that just disappeared. I had sent them somewhere and then saved and exited the game next day I went on they didn't exist i checked the ships list it said that they were still there but with 0 move, 0 attack and 0 defence. I checked where they were supposed to be but the was just empty space. please help

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on your game version:

Dread Lords, all versions:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2

Dark Avatar 1.5-1.6 (non-Vista):
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar

Dark Avatar 1.6+(Windows Vista), 1.7+(non-Vista):
My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

I've seen odd things like this with DA. I recently sent a couple transport ships to a planet to invade and was actually watching them on the screen move toward the planet then poof....gone, never to be seen again.

hehehe, thats funny.

Look at it this way, if there is a ship that causes a game to crash, how much would you love it if that ship just dissapeared instead?

It sounds like something that might happen with the bug that I fixed for beta 3, although they might be permanently invisible if the game got saved after the shipcfg was wrecked.
