Version 2.04 of Ages of the Federation truncated patch notes
STABILITY / CRASHING
===================
When we released the previous 2.03 update we said that this was the end of our efforts to address stability in AOTF. However we have spent considerable time compressing over 700 textures down to a quarter of the size they were previously. This has both made a significant stability improvement by reducing the load on the game, but has also reduced the total size of the mod.

Version 2.03 of Ages of the Federation truncated patch notes
STABILITY / CRASHING
===================
A number of changes to the mod have been made to address the crashing experienced by players. The highlights of these are:
• Removal of Class B E L and N planets from the planetary system, removal of their entities and textures from the mod.
• Class L planets replaced with class P on all maps.
• Class B E and N planets replaced with Class A on all maps.
• Compression of all lightmap bake textures by half reducing filesize of these files from 600mb+ to 150mb+.
• Release of the AOTF Low-Res Add-on for those who (despite the above changes) are still crashing. Please see the AOTF Add-on download page to learn more.
This is then end of our efforts to address stability in AOTF and we are extremely sorry if you are still experiencing issues even running this update or the add-on.

Absolutely love this so far, however. I will not be playing until it gets some stability patch(es) as once you get the game going it constantly crashes. Jumping to planets, scanning anomalies, I myself cannot ascertain what's triggering it because sometimes its fine... others.... hard crash
Please join our Discord to help diagnose issues like this.
I have been getting the same problem about 45 mins in gameplay, hey Hobbs what is you're discord server address?
Nevermind I posted in discord. BTW it,s really cool, I really like this release, Thank you so much and happy New Years!

Excellent release! loving it so far.
A question though, some of the Klingon ships just stay stationary when in combat and never move.
This doesn't seem to be an issue with any other race.
I'm assuming this isn't intentional?
Keep up the great work!
Not all ships have "fighter movement" anymore which is intended. :)
I have to be honest, the many stationary ships make the battles feel too stale. I understand artillery ships or dreadnoughts staying still, but the fighter movement of battles made it unique and beautiful.
I still love the mod (Despite the many crashes which I get), but the Xindi rappidly became my favorite simply because they have the most mobile forces.
Sadly, I feel exactly the opposite. It annoys the heck out of me when ships with most of their firepower forward spend over half the battle with the forward arc not facing the enemy.
That isn't really how trek battles work though! Especially in Star Trek Enterprise, which much of this stems from! The fluid movement adds SO much to the spectacle. I get the capital ships, but not ALL of them!
I find myself going back to Armada 3 with that change, its the only mod left where trek battles look trek.
Am I the only one having an issue where the game freezes and then crashes within 30 seconds of the actual gameplay loading?
I've repaired Sins, made sure my drivers are up to date, and still no joy.
Im guessing you're running out of memory or something. I have a pretty beafy system and I've had zero crashes.
Actually, I'm running an I7 processor with 32 gb ram, and a RTX 3050 8gb video card.
Modern systems are often counter-intuitive to improved performance on 32bit engines like Sins. This is due to differences in architecture and design priorities for improving performance that some (usually older) software is unable to utilise. If you are having crashes, reducing your graphical settings is so far the most reliable way of improving performance.
I've already done this, and it did in fact greatly cut down on crashing.
was excited until I got a MiniDump - already applied the Large Address Aware
any suggestions
Processor Intel i7-9750H CPU 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
System type WIN 10 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6144MB GDDR6
I'm in the same boat, and I even have a 3050 ti nvidia card.
Don't install large address aware. You've not needed it for years since they patched base sins to include it. You've probably inadvertently made things worse by doing so.
Get rid of that and try reducing your graphics settings until the crashing stops.
Hobbs, I'm not sure how to "not install large address aware". I simply unzip the mod directly into the mods folder of sins. Am I not doing it correctly? I can't find a file or setting with that verbiage.
As to changing the video settings, I have, but even doing that crashes the program to a mini-dump.
I'm addressing the person who said they installed large address aware. If you didn't, then you don't have to do anything.
Thanks Hobbs, got it working. Had to uninstall/reinstall.
I appreciate the help.

Crashed after I clicked on "Diplomacy" playing as the Coalition vs Xindi. Other than that though, been following this mod for a very long time and I think this massive overhall is an amazing direction, great job team!
i'm loving this mod. but i noticed one ship missing. the Ares class. why was it not included in this version?
I have a little curiosity, I've been following and playing your mod for years, alternating it with Armada III, I even spend whole days rolling it, I noticed that with the new 2.0 version you have removed vessels from the federation such as the Kelvin class, the Ares, the Class Hermes (which I loved), the Deimos, the Korolev class, the Geronimo and the Magellan, all full Kelvin/Axanar style ships that drove me crazy, I loved the sound of their phasers and especially their photon torpedoes. Do you intend to make a separate Federation of these ships set in the Kelvin/Axanar era as you did with the Enterprise and ToS eras or have they been definitively removed from the game?
Removed forever. They will not return.
That is truly unfortunate. Im curious why the 4 years war is being left behind? Thats what this mod was originally about - so is this stepping away from that?
In the new version, the game will often crash
as everyone said, the game crashes every time. had a couple of crashes today. can't continue playing my saved progress since the game always crashes a few minutes after loading the saved game.
Try lowering your game settings especially planets and bloom.
The Romulans are disabled?
Indeed.

do you need all the dlc for this to work?
No but it does unlock more content.
