I cannot speak for anyone else, but crew combat has crashed the game every time with 1.3.3. Sad face.

Yes, I did indeed delete everything from 1.3.1 previous to the extraction of the RAR package.

Is it possible to give any details? Platform? What crashes? Any specifics? Sad face

No crashes have been reported through the crash reporter.

Arggghhh I sent at least 4 crash reports too.

Any crew combat crashes it. I started a new explorer. First thing I did was level the captain and officers up. New 40 Pack map. My initial world had wilderness, so it was perfect.
We made landfall and on first draw, got pirates. I picked 1 swordsman, 1 pistoleer, and two soldiers. Kept the captain out.
It flashed to combat screen and crashed.

I launched again and it went immediately to picking my combat crew and crashed as soon as combat started.
I reboot my laptop.
I deleted that captain and started a new one on same map. Same wilderness, and went a few draws before a xeno attack which crashed as soon as they attacked.

Deleted captain.
Made 3rd captain and went to a totally different planet. As soon as combat launched, it crashed.

I have deleted all information from 1.3.1 prior to unpacking the RAR.

I'm at a loss.

Sorry, only playing on Windows as my LG went to Android heaven.

LordofSyn - ok, thanks for the info. Will try to reproduce here.

You deleted all maps and all saved games from the previous install?

Not the maps or captain templates as those haven't ever caused issues before. But captains, yes.

This was a new map though

[fallen]

Ok. Can't guarantee too much if you haven't deleted old files.

Maybe you could comment on the composition of the boarding team? Maybe its job based, or based on their outfit / face choices.

[LordofSyn]

I just went back and ensured that I had deleted the entire local information.

Made a new explorer...went for about 30 minutes before I finally had a crew combat situation and it still crashed. New captain. New map.

Everything works well, even ship combat. Until crew combat

Would you prefer I made a video?

This thread is in the wrong board. It should be in "Updates", rather than the main ST2 board.

If you're on PC, sending them the saved game would probably be the most helpful route.

[LordofSyn]

I am on PC. I've never been asked to send them a saved game before.

Yep, that could be really helpful.

As mentioned, it is very likely caused by the composition of your boarding crew or a Talent you have. So, its hard to reproduce without a saved game or a lot of specifics.

You can send a saved game to [e-mail]. From the testing I've done, it seems clear that it must be caused by your crew and Talents setup. Otherwise, I'd have some hope to reproduce it.
