Hi Mike,

Great looking game - can't wait for the final release.

I get an unhandled exception error followed by a crash after starting a single player game, error log shows following -

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

----------------------------------------

Is this caused by the fact that the folder C:\Users\Mike.... doesn't exist on my machine? Also downloaded the latest version of the game, .Net 3.5 then updated and re-started.

Thanks for help!

Unfortuntely I followed the link on the front page and installed 3.5 SP1 (beta) so don't think this is the issue

Any other tips greatly received...

Hm...I got a similar problem. Just installed 3.5. SP1 Beta

Apparently, I forgot to save when I set WinRAR to extract full paths..no wonder it didin't work..lol

Great so far mstrobel. I'm impressed. Very impressed.

b.t.w. - you can add my name to the structure images list in credits. Did a few and I can do more ;P

Firewing used to be Trashman, Mike. His old forum account was affected by the joomla bug so he reregistered with a new name. Trashman is already in the credits as a modeller, but I forgot about his other contributions.

Wolfe has been working on the sound effects lately as well. You might want to add him under sound affects along with me and Kenneth.

*Whips out Fruity Loops*

Uuu...haven't fiddled with this in a long time. Might give that a try too...MWHAHAHAHAHA

Welcome back, Trashman--I had wondered what happened to you. I'll make sure you are properly credited for your other .

Would notification messages be enough for some people, Mike? Flashing arrows haven't been enough of a notification so far...

It sounds like it is .Net that is at fault Jig, not the game; I just updated it myself, without updating .Net, and the game is running fine. The update I downloaded was two files, a total of 3.3mb.

Mike hasn't released the update that makes the game compatible with .Net 3.5 SP1 RTM yet; you still need .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta.

Could you give me the link to the prior .Net SP1 version? I tried everyone on windows.com, but none are working with Supremacy. I even tried deinstalling all .Net installations and then reinstall the one from November 07 (i believe), since it is the one I found before the August 08 .Net.

I'm afraid I can't, Prongs. You can't find the download because Micro$oft have pulled it from their site; they've released the non-beta version, which in their eyes is superior, and therefore the older beta version is no longer needed. Any links you do find redirect you to the new RTM version. You're unfortunately going to have to wait until Mike fixes his computer and has had a chance to release the game update.
