I have a problem :(

I've downloaded several of the maps from this forum and they all cause Fleetops to crash as soon as it starts loading.  Also not been able to create any new maps myself or edit existing ones.  Any idea what's going on?

Maps created before 3.1.0 are no longer compatible with the current version unless they were expressly edited. Consequently, look for maps that have the "3.1.1 safe" label .  There are still a bunch that are updated - at least 15 as far as I remember 

EDIT: major error!

i think a lot of the old maps need to be converted up for the latest fleet ops version, theres a post by doca (one of our august developers) somewhere, its a small amount of work with a hex editor i believe.

EDIT: i did some research, the current maps are from 3.1.0 onwards (we're at 3.1.1 now)

the old maps were from 3.0.2 til before 3.1.0 which no longer work, maps from before then probably dont work either because of different stuff in the game.

heres the thread describing how to convert maps from 3.0.2+ into 3.1.0+ maps
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - How to convert maps to FO 3.1.0 from earlier versions.

i dont know what dominus is saying about 3.0.1 safe, 3.1.1 is the latest version.

and welcome to the forums

Mine should work fine with 3.1.1 so you could try some of those.

I made my own map from scratch in 3.1.1 and every time I want to load a saved game on that map, Fleetops "will go down without a fight" 

When I play a game longer than an hour or so, it will always crash when loading it. Alyways!
