Critical Error on loading Universe

[Cooper99]

Since the last Update i get an error, when i try to resume the last game and load the universe...



A complete re-download did not help. Does someone know what i can do?

If you get above error, the database is not broken,
it was just not properly closed (force quit the starmade-process is a cause.)

To fix:
1)
downgrade to the version before release (0.199.234)
OR
download http://files.star-made.org/build/starmade-build_20160924_005306/lib/hsqldb.jar
and overwrite the file /lib/hsqldb.jar in your 0.199.253 state.

2)
Start the server (it will work now.)

3)
Shutdown the server

IMPORTANT:
Do NOT force-quit the process,
let it return/exit normally,
(give it whatever time it takes to do that.)

4)
Update to the new version.
(Place the "current" hsqldb.jar in the /lib directory.)

This will fix the problems.

Hello Andy,
i followed your steps and it worked! If i did so, i did not realize, that i interrupted somthing by force.
Sorry for that and many thanks for your help!

Dont worry,
all fine.
Took us also some time to figure out what exactly caused this error.
(As we had 2 servers out of a large number that broke on update and we could not find the relation between them until we examined the database directly after it was sent to us.)
