Ok, let me say first off that IN THEORY, Distant Worlds is everything Moo3 should have been. I say in theory, because I cannot seem to play more than an hour or so without the game crashing for some reason.

*begin venting*

It is not my job to run DXDIAG.

It is not my job to figure out what the specific event was that caused the game to crash.

It is not my job to make sure that Windows is running in sub-altered transfiguration mode with the quark exception risk set to Low and that my Kaspersky virus-scan is blocking emails from Pakistan.

The game doesn't work.

Make the damn game work!

I am your customer! I WANT to go out and tell ALL my friends that they should run, yes RUN, to buy this game. When it works, it's beautiful. But I can't, and it's your fault! Instead I have to tell them that even if they save their game progress constantly, about an hour or two in, they will have to put up with frequent game crashes for no apparent reason.

Make the damn game work!!!

*venting complete*

Here is the most recent report I got after my most recent crash.

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.

Hi Cavgunner. Sorry to hear you're having troubles with DW.

I noticed that you're using version 1.5.0.1. Have you tried using a later version? Version 1.5.0.4 is available in the members downloads section. This bug may well be already resolved in this latest version.

Thanks
Elliot
