Hey im new here and when i try to load the game i get this:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Is there anything im doing wrong or missing? I just downloaded the recent update for the game (2007-10-28). Am I missing something or what?

Thanks.

As an above reply in seperate thread, the bug is known and being looked at no doubt

Regards Wolfe

Yeah, Mike knows about the bug and is looking at the cause. Until the problem has been fixed, the download has been temporarily removed. Keep checking the pre-release thread for further info and/or updated links.

I actually know the cause, and it's a pretty quick fix, though I won't be able to upload a new release until tonight.

Speaking of bug fixes

Do you have any idea to the reason for this one, i'd have thought it was due to changes via the editor as thats all i've really done, but as i can't tell whats causing it i can't fix it lol.

Regards Wolfe

That should also be fixed in the latest build... which is now available. Turns out I didn't have to diff the changes, since I had just commented out my old code. Real quick fix .

Ok a little progress for me. Now my problem is that when i start the game and choose what kind of galaxy and stuff and click OK, i get a background of a nebula but then the game crashes but there is no error report. Sorry for another problem but anyone know why it happens?
Thanks for the help.

is there nothing in servererror.txt ??

Regards Wolfe

Well i just found this is ServerError:

Method not found: 'Void System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod..ctor(System.String, System.Type, System.Type[], Boolean)'.

Go re-read the original post in the Supremacy Pre-Release Download thread. You now have to install the .NET Framework v3.5 Beta 2 as well.

Oh sorry i must have overlooked that. Thanks.
