...Be sure to report if you have any problems with the patch. Yitzi's very diligent -and fast- about fixes when RL isn't keeping him away...

What kind of bugs were fixed in 3.5? This update actually solved a crash (terranx stopped working) when playing as University during 2264.

I'll pass the question along...

A list of bugs fixed can generally be found in the attached readme. In particular, for 3.5:

-The "fungal pop shore spillover" phenomenon, which was intended for the game and disabled by a bug, has been reinstituted.
-The dream twister and neural amp used to cause all sorts of problems with the AI, including potential crashes; this has been stopped.
-Bonus comm frequency is no longer broken.

If the bug occurred in 3.4, it was probably that second one. If the bug occurred in Kyrub's or Scient's or one of the official versions, then there are a lot of possibilities.

Thanks for the reply. The Hive AI did build the Neural Amplifier shortly before the crash so that could very well be it. I'm glad I could continue the game with both Yang and a surprisingly aggressive Deirdre being at the top right now. Yang actually is going Green/Knowledge, mass producing mind worms and isle of the deeps. Deirdre is even higher on the power charts, building lots of sea bases, battleships, isle of the deeps, missiles and aircraft.
