Aurora Squad Builder: News and Updates

By VanderLegion, in X-Wing

Regarding the issue with Kath Scarlett, cad bane and bomblet generator, I've done some more testing.

Turns out it happens any time when I stick a bomblet generator on a firespray (scum or imp). Doesn't matter if I use cad bane or andraste title. Also doesn't matter which bomb slot I stick the bomblet on.

And it only seems to happen with firesprays. I could not reproduce it with a quadjumper and cad bane

Erm, Since the latest update how do you go about removing ships from squads? I can change the pilot but don’t seem to be able to remove a ship

Nah, there's a rare bug that pops up every now and then after you change pilots. The swipe doesn't function. I had to close the app and restart it, then it worked fine. Hadn't reported it as the software didn't crash, and I haven't enough detail to figure out what exactly caused the bug in the first place.

I have experienced this problem as well, but haven't had enough data to report it.

Swip left doesn’t do anything in any list with restarts. Can’t kill ships or lists.

Possible conflict with latest IO update?

Had the problem way before that!

Yup, I have the same issue. It really is a minor annoyance so I’ve never reported it.

I'm having problems starting the app. It crashes all the time. I'm using last version of the app in an Iphone 6 (Ios 10.2.1)

Added info

I also had many crashes recently, but always (I believe) triggered by a text search.

Not all searches lead to a crash, but every crash followed a text search

I have the same iphone and it doesn’t crash on start. Maybe update to IOS 11!

Latest beta seems to correct that problem, hang on :)

I just did, and it crashes just as before. The thing is, i had been using the app with the Ios 10.2.1 and the last version of the app, and it worked just fine, until yesterday, when it started crashing all the time...

Dude! Loving this squadbuilder!

Add the new GUNBOAT stuff, when you have time, please! I need to figure out all my builds using the awesome GUNBOAT!!!

Ditto. I know it just dropped... but I can’t wait. Gunboat!

Just pushed an OTA update for the gunboat spoilers. Should be available any time now.

Looks like it's live

I haven’t been able to start the app for a week. If I reinstall it... will I lose all the info?

Love that the Gunboat stuff is up, but my app is still crashing all the time and not saving the last few things I did :/ It's basically become unusable for me now (crashing every 3 or 4 minutes), which sucks as it's the best app out there and I LOVE building lists on it.

iOS version 10.3.3, and I recently deleted and downloaded the app again to see if that helped, nope :(

iPhone 7 here. Runs fine for me.

I will say I used it a lot today, and managed to avoid crashes. Agree with others above, they seem to pop up when using the search function. If I don't search for anything and I take it slow and don't click stuff too fast in quick succession, it seems to be ok. Still freezes a little now and again and some things occasionally need a double tap to load.

Deleting and reinstalling would lose all of your squads, yes. If you have dropbox sync enabled, you can re-enable after the reinstall tog et everything back. If not, you can back up your squadrons through itunes file sharing, but saving the squadrons.xwc file, then putting it back after reinstlaling. The one issue is that most likely the crash is due to something in your squadrons. If it IS, then putting them back from a backup after reinstalling would cause it to crash again most likely. If you send me said squadrons.xwc file, I can take a look and see if it's what's causing the crash. You an email it to [email protected]

Yah, next update is almost ready to go and should fix the crash on search.

Latest Beta is VERY stable in this respect.

Ok thanks! I’ll look it up! Can the problem be because I have too many squadrons? Is there a limit? Thanx

P.S Btw, the app is awesome. I didn’t realize how much I was using it... this week has been sooo long at work hehe

There's no limit tot he number of squadrons, no
