Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 in Rails 1.1.0 -- error starting 1856 game

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I couldn't reproduce this particular error because of lack of info
(I would need a saved file from a point shortly before the error,
or a copy of the game report so that I can replay).

But I'm pretty sure that behind this error is the serious bug 
that I found when playing some games. 
That bug inhibits all normal starts of the first 
(or perhaps any) OR in solitaire/hotseat play. 
For some unclear reason it didn't occur after loading from a saved file.

Anyway, I think it's fixed now, but some more testing is needed.

>> Brett, this problem is serious enough that we'll need to
prepare a new release pretty soon.

I have also fixed a few other minor things.

One bug remains a mystery: the disappearance of the upgrade tiles
on selecting a different tile than the initially laid one.
That upgrades panel needs a hard look.

Erik.
