Oolite Bulletins

Hello. Thanks for the response. I just did a test, new pilot, edited the save to get a million credits, go to zaonce, buy a boa2, load up with passenger berths, accept them all, go to f5f5 and press up, then CTD. It does not crash when there is not more than one page of contracts. The save file from...

Hi. Problem with windoze 7, oolite 1.77. On docking, normal f5 screen. Pressed f5 to get the contracts screen. Pressed up as of trying to get to what is a nonexistent "previous" screen (a lot of contracts at the moment). Oolite vanished, like an old oak table. Just reproduced it, too! I al...

By the way, I am also running on an Intel HD gfx.

Can you list the exact settings you use with the intel hd control panel? See if there's a difference? Rich.

Hello Thanks for the response. I am not saying it really is the chip, just that I can't see another explanation - there must be a reason, if the autopilot is not supposed to kill you at all then something about that installation is not working as it should. The installation was 1.77 on the intel mac...

It sounds like this would be a good moment to find out just what the problematic graphics card is.. could you please post the top portion of the Latest.log from that machine? Everything above the line "AddOns", please. Here it is! Thanks for responding. Rich. Opening log for Oolite versio...

I just did two successful docks with an nvidia-equipped computer and am seriously beginning to think it's related to the graphics chip. Some suspicions before but there was much less realigning of the ship's attitude both times compared with the intel machine. Makes me think it's to do with how the ...

It's not restricted to Laenin, I got the same thing at Anbeen with a different save game, but I don't know if I can see any sort of pattern except that whatever the problem is it comes up a lot at Laenin. Keep forgetting to try on a non-intel graphics machine, if I have one. Rich.

Oops - I just read the red text on opening Oolite, that LinkG7 is not compatible with 1.77.

Hello. I have this with a 1.77 installation. Nothing has happened in G7 so far (been there a while now). I looked at the script to see if there was a particular place to go and did see that one planet gets numbered and named in several places. I went there specifically but again, nothing happened. H...

One other thing I'll do is put the game on a USB stick and try another machine with a different graphics chipset; this one is an Intel whateveritis . . . at least I think the other chipset is different. Rich.

I just noticed some more weird docking computer behaviour. This is a different saved game. I'd used up all the fuel with i and then wanted to hit c to go and get a glass of wine as soon as S appeared. It appeared, I pressed c. The station was right in the cross-hairs. The autopilot slowed down to a ...

The crashes occur when just before the entry point of the station dock it turns so far the Cobra won't fit and rams the station. Just now it started to rotate but after the entry point so the shields went and I lost some computers but didn't die. Rich Could you check the frame rate at late docking ...

failing to rotate Do you get a comms message along the lines of "beginning final approach" or "now entering Laenin space dock" at any point? Or do you just plough into the station before that happens? Hm. Not sure, I don't look at that text, usually, sometimes I notice it but yo...

Do you ever see NPCs crashing while trying to dock, by the way (or mysterious floating cargo pods by the docking bay)? Not recently. It's probably irrelevant but I did regularly see mysterious floating cargo pods by docking bays and fuel stations in previous periods of playing the game. Mostly fuel...

No, I haven't seen anyone crashing but I haven't been looking at it, my current policy is to trade to get credits to buy all the possible ship upgrades then start shooting everyone. Is that sad? It's not difficult to edit a text file to get credits . . . anyway, this means I haven't been paying any ...
