Game crash when I request a mission (NULL_POINTER_READ)

January 17, 2010 2:54:37 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

This repros 100% of the times; I have been unable to request a mission to another faction because the game crash every time I click the button. I can send the crash dump to the devs if needed.

Is this a known issue? Last patch didn't help.

Thanks!

Ahhh, nasty null pointer reads.  A consequence of programming in a language where you have to do your own memory management.

Even managed runtimes won't save you.... they still come back to haunt your dreams. Dreams worse than falling...

Yuk - I despise Java.  Wouldn't program in it if you paid me (and people have offered to pay me).

Fixed internally (probably before this was posted) for next build.
