I had several crashes during scenario dialogs, the latest and worst was second one with Lt. Simon. I have now 66 rep with BraveStar, BraveStar Security Pass and resently Lt. Simon told me that Luka and Mercer looked for me. Did I miss anything?

There is still work for BS you can do after this, but you are right now all set to go talk to Luka and get ready for the MnB endgame. Congrats! (and good luck!)

What kind of crashes? Were you able to press the "Report" button?

My phone is aging LG Optimus One with 512 Mb of memory and Android 2.3.3. I'm playing games on it mostly during my way to/from work without internet connection and I have to periodically lock/unlock it. With such usage crashes are frequent in StarTraders and CyberKnightes (all are Elite versions). I'm allways accepting an offer to submit bugreport but I don't know are they submitted when I'm getting into area with wifi-access. Recently CyberKnights began simply restarting on crash - maybe I've spammed Google with crashreports too much. The main sign of impending trouble is the disappearance of various backgrounds, for example NBZ sectors in map screen. Some sectors are functional but texture of others disappears and arrows are moved to the centre. In StarTraders background of star map is disappearing. Shortly after I'm noticing background vanishing the game will crash on transition to next game screen. I prefer to play Templar Assault on my tablet (Archos G9 80 1Gb and Android 4.0.x) and could not remember any failures. So I've just ordered new smartphone with 1Gb of memory and Android 4.0 and I hope all troubles would be gone. Main disadvantage of the decision - I have to start MnB anew

seajey - if the application is crashing this is very likely the cause of the story disconnected. We do what we can to safeguard the application, but the thousands of phone varieties that CK and ST can be played on are constantly throwing new curve balls. The disappearance of backgrounds and images is a sign that Android is refusing to give the application more memory (RAM). Shortly after that, you'll likely end up with an Out Of Memory exception, the most common problem CK has... sorry about that. Very glad to hear you are upgrading and I think you'll find both games much more stable on your new 4.x phone! Thanks for understanding!

seajey - we have found the critical bug that is preventing the dialog to move the story forward. All MnB players will be stuck at Lt. Simon! Thank you so much for the report that has helped us locate this. We will fix as soon as possible! Based on your report of the bug (a crash in the middle of the story interaction) we are not sure that your character will be salvageable. Hope that the patch will help and we will deliver ASAP.

seajey - we found and fixed the fatal bug in the Lt. Simon ladder. It will be fixed in the next release. It was primarily affecting characters who had too much BraveStar reputation or climbed too quickly without trying to talk to Lt. Simon often or at the right moments. Unfortunately, I do not think we can fix your character's issue. Both Cory and I are really sorry about this, but there isn't anything we can do but guarantee the next generation of MnB Knights will not have this issue.

fallen - not a problem, because I will replay the game again on a higher difficulty on my new phone.

Sorry for anyone with corrupt / stuck games.
We work really hard to avoid that but this one slipped past us both.

Also, the bug is not fixed until the next release!
