The client technically, sort of starts in Windowed Mode and soon after changes to match settings.  The client should no longer hang for some players on startup this way.  Probably.
Well, it doesn't hang on startup any more. It hangs at chapter selection screen though.
Really appreciate your reacting to the reports so swiftly.

Two suggestions that would make life a lot easier...

1) "Land" button in the planet selection (where you normally have "attack", "raid", "bombard") that, when clicked, will unload everything on the selected ship(s) on the planet. Less micro.

2) "Attack" to include vehicles attached to the companies (attack means your marines land and attack on the ground instead of dropping on the enemy, right? Logical to include vehicles in this). Less micro.

Still having problems trying to define roles during chapter creation.  It does not crash now, but the pop-up windows are not visible and I kind of get stuck.

I was able to exit by using the Back button, this aborted chapter creation.  When I clicked it, I could see the pop-up window for outfitting the apothacaries for a second, but by then it was too late.

One more thing:  window title for Mobility Item and Special Item is swapped.

- cant raid on the turn a game is loaded.  intended punishment for the savescum?

- selecting things in chapter / company management is wonky.  I sometimes (there is a pattern to it, but it is a little odd...) lose the ability to select units.  I can then exit the company screen and go back in, and can then select the units again

- marines on bikes are treated strangely.  They are not listed in raiding forces, but they do seem to participate.

- skitarii are not listed in forces that are joining a battle, but they are there.

- the 'summoning' psycher dicipline does not seem to work.  I get lexicanum in battle, they occasionally pop from perils of warp, but their powers do not seem to go off.  I have seen powers from other disciplines go off.

- There is a fascinating unimplemented feature -- I just found a "build" button over a dead world with zero population.

So I found the save data at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\ChapterMaster and deleted all the contents. Made a new game, ended turn one and tried to save. The save game is still error'd out.

Duke, would it help if I provided files to you?

I've got subsequent new games to save and restore on turn 1 and later.

Not sure what the reproduction requirements are on my end.  Will try purging that directory.

I think if you select marine(s), do something (such as change equipment) and then move to different company from the arrows up there, this happens. Sometimes it is negated by clicking an individual marine multiple times, then he is suddenly selected and everything works again.

Same is true for all non-marine troops you might acquire.

It also happens wirhout leaving the company screen.  Ex, unloading / reloading. I think also after equipping.  Have not done a thorough eval

I haven't explicitly stated this in the past, but if you experience the same crash as you did in an earlier patch, send in another bug report.  I can never have too many bug reports and this gives me a good idea of what is still clogging up the game.

0.6528

Major Changes:
Added a short timer to hitting Enter in combat.

Other Changes:
No more infinite Slaughtersongs.
Relic Blades are two-handed, as was originally intended.
Fixed another max Ship STC Fragment crash.

Losing ground combat seems to cause the game to be stuck in the combat screen. Went in with the scout company just to be sure.

Badly.  The fellow looking at taking over development had hard-drive issues and no one else is stepping up.

I'm looking at the feasibility of full-time development.
