I've gotten two e-mails about problems with the "Ghost Ship" skirmish level. The report is that the game crashes after beating the level. I've played through 3 times with 3 different squads on three different devices and ... no crash  Can any random TA player rip through that level and see if Victory works for you? |

victory ... I played it several times and it may mean nothing but if you move all your TKs into the squares and quickly press 'turn' without waiting for the victory screen the game sorta trips out but my device didnt crash don't know if that would contribute to a crash event on some device? but that's the only thing I could get to happen out of the ordinary.

Finished it about 5 times successfully on the bus ride into the office. Didn't realise you wanted me to check it so seeing this was an added bonus. I've got it down to 7 turns - can't seem to get it any faster than that.

The concerned player reported that the "Victory" button crashes, but on further investigation it looks like it may be related to some type of Motorola issue.
Still investigating, hard to do without the ability to respond to the crash reports!

What does he mean by crash? Is it something he can replicate?
I've noticed sometimes when I get a text message or notification it freezes TA for a minute or so- just when I'm about to give up it comes back... Doesn't happen everytime or even often but it happens occasionally and game does continue eventually.
Could same thing have happened to him?

The only time recently that I had a "force close" was when I was in the middle of a game and someone had the gall to PHONE me ... you know, actually CALL me! sheesh, it was as if I were carrying around a phone or something ridiculous like that.
Anyway, I got the dreaded Force Close (which I acknowledged to get to the phone call). As soon as the call ended though, the phone took me straight back into the game and turn (not even presenting me with a "Resume" prompt). It was as though it didn't crash.
Not that this story helps with the problem above. Man, I think it was talking about being a 4,000 year old captain that has made me ramble on with stories .....

Android will FC any application that takes too long to get out of the way of a phone call. This might be a performance issue in saving the game state to a file for resuming later.
We're storing it out to a temporary file so that, like Trade Exchanges in Star Traders, the TA game will last across reboots and Android application termination.
I suspect the game terminated (FC) during the phone call (performance) but was never cleared from phone memory, so it came right back to the map.

when you have mashed turn button and the loop catches up and it displays vae victus button when you press it then you get the FC the fatal button combo ends with the vae victus button. I'm thinking device lag is a big faxtor because it seems the end turn button and the victory button are pretty close to on top of each other on my screen .would that condition also put the victory button the last reported in a end turn button tapping?

Problem in the code is probably that the buttons are accepting input while the SurfaceView (map thing) isn't ready for additional commands. Shouldn't be too hard to fix (so I say now.)

as long as you don't push end turn button it runs like a top! (captain to troopers) : just get in the damn shuttle and don't touch nuthin! I can't take you guys anywhere!
