What is the size of the dat files in the FTL game source directory ?

The total size of both .dats is about 480MB. This PC (laptop, actually) isn't too hot, but it's got a 64-bit Win7, 8GB of RAM and an i5 with 2.9 GHz per core. The graphics card is an Intel integrated one.

Well your .dat files are the right size after a successful patch by SMM. Is the java version (jdk/jre) on your laptot updated to the latest, 64b version? If not, then the SMM patch for EL on your laptop probably failed, which could have resulted in coruption of the FTL .dat file.

Glad to see Estel back! I remember when people like Mr. Mister and The Captain used to come around here all the time. Also, I think slowy died "Last visited: April 13, 2014."

You know, it might have been the limitations of my PC, after all. I installed everything except BPaB, and the game works now. Thanks anyway.

No problem. I think this is the second time compatability issues have been reported with BPaB 1.3.1.
Sleepy, this might mean that adding extra image contant for EL will be problamatic - BPaB has big image files, I believe.

The BpaB 1.3.1 issue has actually been reported by several people since as long as I can remember. It's a rare issue though...

As far as that goes, i haven't tested what happens when you extend the size of the text_base "hex" image. It may fix the problem or possibly lead to other problems, but someone may want to test that, could be interesting. Only other possible solution would be to change the font size for that text as well.

Maybe Sleeper Service should give this a try.

I experienced the same problem.

Still got the Runtime error after I patched using a fresh install and deleting the files you mentioned from the backup.

Thanks for your help rannl!

What mods are you using? If one of the mods is Better planets and backgrounds 1.3.1, you should try not to include it (and the CE BPaP compatability mod), since it seems to have caused problems for several users (you can see this in prevous posts with failures similar to yours).
Other then that, mention what your HW specs are, this might be an issue for certain machines....

Any chance you can exempt weapons that don't do regular/system damage from the wide spread prefix? I've noticed that they actually repair enemy systems...

Oh and prefixes that reduce normal damage on a non-damaging weapon can actually heal enemy hull(and systems), somewhat more useful than only system healing though, since there's times when you just want to kill the crew but leave the hull intact.

On a more OP note, I had a missile system that shoots 4 cloaked missiles(forget the name) get the shredder prefix, -1 hull damage, +2 system damage, +2 crew damage... yeah that was fun, if all missiles hit that's 12 system damage and 180 crew damage to that room, no hull damage but it knocked out shields and killed the shield technician... Cloaked so defense drones can't shoot them down... sniper ahoy!

When I'm installing the mods('BPaB" to "CE Non-EL Enemy Loadouts") SMM always hangs up at "CE Endless Loot Addon for CE Infinite." The progess bar doesn't move or anything.
