Last month (or whenever it was) when we had a Beta Sunday, I heard a lot of complaints that people couldn't join the game because their client would crash.

For those people I have a small task for you.
log in to beta and launch a one-person game, to confirm the crash is still occurring (it should; nothing has changed since that weekend).Find your Allegiance folder. I expect it'll either be ...\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\Lobbies\Beta OR ...\Microsoft Games\Allegiance 1.2\Beta. Post which one it is, it might be relevant.Go into ...\Beta\Artwork\mods and confirm that there are no more than six folders there, and that none of them have spaces in the name. If any have spaces, delete them, restart Allegiance and try to launch a game again.If it still crashes, unzip this into your beta directory: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/713 ... 0files.zip This is the artwork and build of Allegiance that I gave pkk to put on autoupdate; if the problem is with autoupdate not working properly, this will fix it. Try to launch a game again. If it still doesn't work, I'm out of ideas and we'll have to find the problem.

Thanks.

What was recent update?

Also I no longer crash on beta and can launch a game and fly around etc...

My starting HUD was the glass one, not the default. Not sure if that made a difference as to why I was crashing. I thought it was because I already had custom HUDs installed but then realised beta uses seperate art folder.

I just tested on beta and didn't crash,although I hadn't crashed before.Thank you SO much for raumcore!
I noticed that it has our first incarnation of an auto comm! I'm so exited I can hardly contain myself! It's a real tribute to the fact that I'm the worst commander in this game. :unsure:

I know :lol: it just builds everything except SY. You still have to tell cons to build,though.
