Hello, Not sure how that could happen. Can you post your custom civ/fleets somewhere so I can take a look?
We rebalanced the synths with 2.8. I would be curious to get your feedback on our changes and if they address your concerns. You will need to start a new game to see the new balance changes.
I would be happy to try and help. I've got some local ship styles sets downloaded from steamworks and they seem to working fine. What are the three ship styles you've lost? I'd like to know what's different in the fleets you've downloaded.
Hello everyone! v2.8 is live. We hope that you enjoy it and please continue to give us feedback.
[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="57" id="3702980"] Was there something changed in the way XML files are scanned? I added two mods to my Crusade mod folder without starting a new game, and it seems that unlike before the mods take effect immediately. I copied Old Spider's mod to revert the FOW change and Gauntlet's anomaly mod (taken out of his new GRM 8.0a mod) to my mod folder. I can now see the explored areas of the map properly again and I have new anomaly graphics, don't know yet wheth

I refuse to play a new game as I have a 25 & a 19 planet 1 parsec away from my home world. I am hoping 2.8 fixes the memory issues. -I had to disable auto-save.

There's nothing in the latest update that should have affected the ship styles. Are you using any mods? Are the files in your "my games" directory (similar to C:\Users\pshaw\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\ShipStyleSet).
Does your machine have two video cards? If so, you may wish to try and force it to use the better card.
Can you send me your save file so we can take a look? [email protected] Thanks
Sorry that you're having trouble. Can you send me the save game? [email protected]
Thanks for the additional information. I'm not sure yet why your saves are getting corrupted but we'll keep looking.
