Patch notes
With every update we will post and pin the Patch note here on Steam and the official Vector Thrust forum on Moddb


Known Issues
All known issues with the current build can be found here , please try checking this before posting a bug report.


How to submit a Bug Report
A new bug can be posted in the "Known issues" thread

What to post:
  • Description: (description of the issue)
  • Repro rate: (in gameplay issues this is important to be aware how often the issue can be found to avoid considering fixed when it reality it just didn't happened yet)
  • Affects Version/s: (very important!)
  • Game modes: (only when exclusive to a game mode)
  • Steps to reproduce: (only if it requires an routine to find the issue, find crash is a lot more easier when it has been found the right way to reproduce them)
  • (And when it helps, add a print screen)

Final tips:
Try to be as precise as possible with your description, for example, saying something like: "The main weapon is broken" doesn't really help. What should be said is something like this: "the main weapon depletes two units from the total ammo for every missile fired".

Hardware and compatibility problems
Hardware and compatibility problems as well as issues with the game failing to start can be reported in the Tech Support section of the official forum.

I'm in the same boat with you, I really want to play the game, and I dont want to have to ask for a refund on it.

I'm not sure which of the solutions fixed the game for me, but Its working now thankyou for advcie, my only complaint is I feel I shouldn't have to change this much to launch a game.

I guess this goes here. I'm having strange framerate issues that don't seem to be rectified regardless of what detail or resolution settings I choose, or regardless of what is actually being rendered on screen.

The problem only seems to happen in skirmish mode; If there are 8 or more planes of a high enough skill level and are labeled as aces, the framerate will randomly drop to 1-2 fps and the game briefly becomes totally unplayable and will not read any control input until it recovers.

I am guessing it has to do with the chaff/flares existing in the game world, because ace AI is very prone to dropping lots of chaff/flares, and the problem seems to happen when 8-15 ace level AI planes are dropping them in massive bunches all at once. You also don't have to be looking at the chaff/flares for the framerate to spike, either; I looked directly at the sky where very little to nothing is being rendered, and the framerate was still spiking.

The game runs smoothly otherwise in campaign or challenge mode, or if the enemy planes are grunts of a low enough skill level that they rarely (if ever) use countermeasures. I'm running the Incubator version of Vector Thrust, if that helps.

On the recent update, the games always crashes when playing 4th mission of Hollow Thunder campaign and the crash is runtime error of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

It says:
"Runtime Error!

Program D....

The application has requestede the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support for more information."

It happened during the beginning of the mission.

Here's the screenshot.

Thanks. I've tried all of those steps in that thread but unfortunately the problem still persists. I was using the default branch.

I pasted the recent details from the Ogre.log here:

It appears certain files have not downloaded correctly. Are you sure you verified the game cache? Doing so will download the missing/corrupted files.

I also have the same problem with mission 4 of the campaign, i followed the steps but it still does not work.

Yes, I have verified it. It had to reacquire 2 files. But the problem still persists.
I've also tried by copying the mission 4 files to the BattleSce folder and playing it as a single mission thorugh the Battle Scenario option, and still giving me the crash with the same error.

Same issue. He's not the only one with this problem.

Windows 10 Pro x64
CPU: FX-8120 @4.0GHz
GPU: R9 290x
16 GB RAM@1600

running fullscreen@1080p

Game crashes at cutscene/dialog after a mission in campaign, specifically the third one. happens 100% of the time, Have tried with 2 different aircraft. always occurs during the same line of dialog, towards the end of the scene. printscreen will not work in fullscreen in Windows 10, but the crash popup is hidden in a window behind the game anyway.

Incubator build, does that vary in file content anymore?
Verified game cache.
