BotF2 problem

for BUGs: http://botf2.star-trek-games.com/viewforum.php?f=32

Lloyd James wrote: When the game crashes, it automatically generates an error log, which you can find in your main BotF2 folder. Look for Error.txt or ServerError.txt; one or both of these files should be there. If they're not there, the issue may not be to do with BotF2 itself, but some other aspect of your computer. Or it's crashing before the log can be generated. Or the cause is something that isn't being checked for by the game.

To run BotF2, see also System Requirements

check your .Net-Version

(latest -atm 4.5.1- is recommend)

• ASoft .NET Version Detector (Download) or Website (results left bottom with blue background) or

• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785/en-us

download .Net

• http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40779

DirectX

• check your version of Direct X ( 9 or higher is needed) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/which-version-directx#which-version-directx=windows-7

Problems at Starting

• do not change name of SupremacyClient.exe
• maybe \Resources\Strings\en.txt is corrupt -> try the official one

Generating GALAXY

Log.txt

At Log.txt (located in the same folder as Supremacy.exe) different things are logged. Once more technical things, but now in addition more like a Players Logbook.

The Log.txt is created every time the program starts. If you want: make sure to rescue a previous Log.txt by manually copy, maybe like Log-date-time.txt, or better to a compressed file type like *.docx.

Log.txt can increase to a large size.

No more minor race definitions available (create more)

[7] WARN  Supremacy.Universe.GalaxyGenerator - No more minor race definitions available (create more).  Galaxy generation will stop.

-> reduce amount of minor races in game by...

• decrease galaxy size or chose another shape than irregular
• decrease star density
• decrease minor dense
• at least you can create more minor races :-) because atm there are only round about 150

Error.txt

System.OutOfMemoryException

not exactly known when this occurs

RAM

• playing a huge galaxy might need more RAM as your computer has at the moment
  • playing with medium galaxy and many minors needs about 500 MB RAM
  • playing with huge galaxy and some minors needs about 1.600 MB RAM

I'm running Supremacy fine under Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit version. Just a few known bug, e.g. saving games on huge or large maps throws the out.of.memory exception.

Maybe there are missing some software packages from microsoft. I've installed

• the XNA Framework Redists in versions 3.1 and 4.0,
• all Visual C++ Redists from 2008 up to 2012 in 32 and 64 Bit editions and
• additionally selected ".Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)", ".NET Framework 4.5 advanced services" and "Windows Process-Activation Service -> .NET environment" under "Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off"
