CTD with a lot going on

Gonna post this here since I can't quite isolate the problem and dunno if I can duplicate it but here are the things that I knew were going on when I got this CTD. Hoping someone out there can relate a similar set of circumstances to a CTD, otherwise I'll just chalk this one up to my stupid computer.

First off, was in ROAM mode with starting asset of a TER/MIL Firestorm from GALCOM HQ.

1. Took SC-4 to Majoris in Alpha Majora for a trade run.

2. Left Command Craft defending GALCOM HQ.

3. While in Majoris, I was jumping to the station to dock.

4. Decided to order my CC to come and join me (this would require a couple jumps so thinking CTD could've been related to that).

5. While I(SC-4) was in hyperspace, an enemy ship got blown up and dropped cargo.

6. Went to the Command hotspot on the right hand side of my screen, and ordered SC-4 to collect cargo.

7. CTD.

A little complex. And like I said, not sure if the Command Craft just being ordered to do a few jumps could've had something to do with it, but I put it all in there. Will move the thread to Tech Support if someone can confirm similar circumstances.

Edit: Almost forgot, using UC v1.00.02 RC5.

Somewhat similar problem here. I was in my shuttle, running goods from Galcom to Wraith, While on Earth, viewed Jupiter Region and saw some Raiders, Ordered 4 of my Fighters from CC Escort (Back near Wraith Station) to attack the Raiders... The 4 went to the region, but as I was heading back to the region myself, I noticed that they were not attacking, so I ordered them to attack again... still no go.. Now I'm back in the Serius System heading toward Wraith, figured I might as well just order fighters to escort CC again and right after I do it, I get a CTD.

Also running RC5.

I would file this one under stupid computers. I was just in one hair raising dog fight involving several CC's and about a dozen or so support crafts. My frame rate dropped down to about 40 FPS which is to be expected, but that was about it besides having one hell of alot of fun kicking Gammulan butt.

Yeah, Remo, it seemed like one of those "Wow, I'm not even gonna be able to repeat that crash if I tried 100 times cuz there were just too many things going on." Just thought I'd throw it up there in case anyone happened to respond, "Oh, yeah, I had that one. It crashes whenever you order your CC to anything in the gamulan quadrant while at a RED ship alert status while you're Hull is at 99%. That one happens to me all the time!"

Thanks for the response.

Has nothing to do with it. Were you in hyperspace in SC4 when you gave the order to collect cargo?

Do it. I dare you. I double dare you. In fact, I dare you +1 Hammer of Death.

And the subject of this thread is the #1 reason that your threads are deleted on sight. The only reason I didn't delete this one, is because Remo posted in it.

Yes I was hyperspacing SC.

The reason I posted here was that I was trying to isolate the problem before bothering you SC.

Thanks, SC. That explains a lot.

P.S. Post would've been more refined by the time it made it to Tech Support.

Now you see my point. Why is that you simply cannot be clear about ANYTHING?? I barely guessed from your post that you were in hyperspace when you tried to give an order which resulted in a CTD. Yet, this never did occur to you. But instead, you created a topic with a ludicrous and off base subject.

Now, go try it again and if a crash occurs, its a bug that I need to investigate. Any orders issued to a ship that is in hyperspace are ignored.

I mean, how exactly does it make sense that, while in hyperspace transit (which you can't drop out of until you reach the destination) and en-route to some destination, that giving an order to the shuttle you are in, would even work?

I was under the impression that if I give an order to a shuttle while in hyperspace that it would execute the order when it leaves hyperspace. Maybe I was incorrect. The point of issuing that order was so that I could go ahead and watch a probe in TacOps and when my shuttle exited hyperspace it would execute the order. I figured it was more efficient to issue the order and then watch TacOps then to watch TacOps, issue order, then go back to watching TacOps.

The subject was so vague because I believed the problem to be vague. In that, upon having issued orders to my CC, was not sure if it might have been simotaneously doing something to cause a crash.

In the time it took you write up that, you could simply have just confirmed what I was asking. Is this in ANY way related to the order being issued while in hyperspace or not?

I have no interest in your assumptions. If its a bug, I need to fix it. I have no interest in anything else - especially entire paragraphs of assumptions based things that are not documented anywhere in my game manual. If it a tech support issue (a CTD definitely qualifies as one of those), it needs to be CLEAR, PRECISE and TO THE POINT.
