Status: offline 		Hi

I've not posted a crash before so sorry if this is not done most usefully as it might. I received this error, and then the DW carried on running but instead of stars and ships, just a white background with a thin red cross right across the whole screen. The menus still worked, but no space any more. Just the once so far.

Anyway, loving the game so trying to be useful, xKabbers

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /> </configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Status: offline 		I just got the same error. The menus was still active, so I saved the game hoping it would work. Restarting the game and loading the save didn't work. All the menu graphic was gone and the game didn't respond besides the Windows 7 halo.

I have the save game if any body want to take a look.

Status: offline 		I have been having the exact same problem and thought I would update with more information. This seems to happen when I zoom in on an area outside the galaxy and then attempt to zoom out all the way. Steps for repeating error are:

1. Zoom out completely. 2. Zoom in on an area outside the galaxy. 3. Zoom out completely.

This gives me the error every time.

Operating system is Windows XP with service pack 3.

We've been able to reproduce this issue, and have fixed it for the next patch.

Thanks for reporting this.
