Missing options after load.

from Sins Forums
I've been playing the beta 1.1 and all was going very well. Over two hours of gameplay, then i decided to take a break and saved the game. When i came back to it the next day it loaded up fine but the actions display (the box in the bottom left with move and build option etc) was blank regardless of what was selected and i had no ontrole of my units; not even right click. I tried reloading the save and restarting the game but no change. Any help?

Can you upload the save to something like rapidshare.com and post a link here? Thanks :)

Find the save file (if you're not sure where it is, go into game Options > Mods > Show mod path, instead of \Mods\ it'll just be one of the save-singleplayer folders, depending on if it's an auto or manual save)

Then, zip it up, go to Rapidshare, browse to the zip, and upload it. It will give you a download link to the file, post that here :)

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks. I'll check it out when I get off work :)

No zipping isn't a problem, would've just saved you some uploading time :)

Well, I tried the save, and you're right.. it's really weird. Never seen that before. Still, I think it's a case of a weird/corrupted save. I tried to bring the buttons back with no luck.

Loaded the save and picked up this error:

*** No more room for 'Flair' effect.

Entity: PLANETMODULE_PHASEORBITALCANNON
Mesh: .\Mesh\PlanetModule_PhaseOrbitalCannon.mesh
Mesh Point: Flair-Flair_Doubleblink
Effect Name: Flair_Doubleblink
Max Count: 10

I only got this the first time I loaded the game after I start it. Once I've loaded it once and not closed Sins, I don't get the error, but still the problem.

Oh, and you haven't gotten the crew training or interference techs.

How'd you pick that up? Because I didn't see anything  :SURPRISED: But I didn't turn on error logging for the beta.
