does tend to crash alot atm. think its due to a dodgy update.

[Firgof Umbra]

Soon.

Current live patch notes (not final yet):

[Fixed] Null pointer exceptions caused by scripts could cause the JIT to crash instead of reporting an error in the console.
[Fixed] Tutorial would get stuck at a certain point.
[Fixed] Some alterations to fleet movement improving formation cohesion and mitigating overshoot caused by fleets.
[Fixed] Wedge formation not being very wedgey.
[Fixed] Mods derived from other mods were not functioning correctly.
[Fixed] objSetting01 through objSetting07 object flags for mods were not functioning correctly due to MSVC compiler badness.
[Added] "Select Planets" option to system/star right click menu.
[Added] Moddable achievements system.
[Added] Submenu on the right click menu for uncolonized planets that lets you set the governor/queue to use beforehand.
[Added] Players connecting into a multiplayer game after it has already started can choose to spectate rather than take over an empire (provided the host has not disallowed it).

Until July 23rd, Star Ruler will be on sale on Steam for $4.99.

This may be our biggest sale of the title for some time to come, so get it while it's hot!

Picked this up in the summer sales on Steam, looking forwards to playing it, but I have a hyuuuuge backlog of games thanks to those sales I'll get round to eventually, but until I do, could someone point me to a wiki/site with tutorials? Thanks

Currently getting a crash related to using the scroll bar for some weird reason.

Cant use the mouse wheel also or else it crashes.

Applys to custom race stats and blueprint sub unit sizes.

I thought we investigated fixing that bug.  It's an intel graphics chipset specific problem.  Try turning on the intel graphics chipset compatability option and let me know if that helps at all.

[Karakzon]

Dowloading and installing now. will try that then ill get back to you by editing this post.

1 Edit: Can i ask were this option is?

Found this, seems the fix will be in the next update as you said thankfully.
No option in the star ruler game that allows to change the compatability as far as i can find. Not very tech savvy when it comes to jury rigging it outside of a programn sorry to say. Found it, twas turned on as standard. So that isent a fix it seems.

[Firgof Umbra]

Options -> Graphics -> Integrated GPU (I think) Compatability

[Karakzon]

-bump to show reply-

Thanks for the help, but seems ill have to wait for the next update before i can play again. ah well.

Any guestimate at a patch release date?

[Firgof Umbra]

It's already out

Hit "Check for Updates" and you should grab the new version.

If you're on 1210 that's the latest.  If it's not resolved in 1210 then Reaper must not have found a solution to the problem despite finding the cause.  It may be nonfixable outside of a driver update for your chipset.

[Karakzon]

Ah i see it, version 1.2.1
Dosent seem to have solved the problem on my end though.

Specs:
4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz
6GB Ram
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

If that helps you at all in figuring out the problem. Ill try running in admin mode etc and see if i can find a normal fix.

[Firgof Umbra]

Hm.  Yep, that's definitely a chipset driver you've got.  Can you try updating to the most recent driver for your chipset?  Laptop drivers are always a pain to provide compatability for in SR because they never quite go off the standard.  Any time they do, problems crop up; though this crash is especially ridiculous.

[Karakzon]

The Update function says no updates. So i checked online at the intel help site. Seems its up to date with version 8.15.10.2266.
By a quick check it seems Intel is a real b**** for not sorting their drivers and their updaters out propperly eather which dosent bode well.

Can you say which intel drivers the game dosent crash with? -May end up seeing if its possible switching Drivers since this current one has been a pain in the ass for several things-

[Firgof Umbra]

I'm afraid I can't say

I don't own a laptop or have an integrated GPU (I specifically opted out of one for my mobo)
