More and more people are getting this error. Rather than re-installing, it is better to go to the link given at the top of Post #1 and manually download the update.

Out of interest, how do we check what version we have installed? With other games e.g. WITP-AE it is readily identifiable. I am probably being thick but cannot see this info here. Thank-you.

It is on the header of the window where you can select a new or saved game. You can also right click on the icon and look at the properties, it is in the fourth tab 'details'.

Ah yes, I was being thick - or at least spectacularly unobservant - thanks AxelNL.

• Fixed a problem with Port Attacks where using surprise points to avoid the port attack during the air-to-air combat subphase caused a fatal error.

So this was the only port attack issue fixed? What about the game locking up when a second ship is selected for damage by the defender? That was reported on a couple weeks ago and pretty much prevents surprise port attacks from happening when ships are damaged. Without the ability to do surprise port attacks, it's pointless to try a game involving ships.

For your information, I went through a port attack two days ago while testing, and I didn't come across this problem at all. I was able to destroy, damage and abort ships by both the attacker and the defender in the right way, including the spending of surprise points if the attackers wants to choose the target...

Thanks for the response. Bloodybill and I are going to start another game here in about a half hour and hopefully we can get past this hurdle. I'll let you know one way or the other.

Centuur probably had it work in solitaire whereas yours is NetPlay. The problem is logged against NetPlay.

Dumb and Dumber is the correct answer!

Why did you hope you were wrong?

The film is so bad that knowing the quote and posting the answer diminishes us both!

If you did state that, I wouldn't have said anything about this issue.
