For two days on the trot, the first time I've loaded into multiplayer, the first two lines of the chat box have read:

Object Construction Error 51,1265
Object Construction Error 51,1268

If I exit and reload from the main screen the error doesn't appear

I've not noticed anything wrong with playing the game.

That message appears any time the game is unable to construct one of the ship objects in memory. The '51' indicates ship class 51 and the '1265'/'1268' indicates the ship object ID. The game is able to catch this error in advance since the object is constructed in memory (rather than just statically loaded), so it will let you know about the problem with that notice in the message log. The game will recover from the error while still running, construct an alternate object type in that object slot, then continue with gameplay. However, it's a good idea to check into your system configuration for possible causes that are likely blocking memory from the game. Since the error isn't occuring until the upper ship slots, it suggests only the upper regions of memory are being blocked from the game. Check to make sure you have at least 1.5 GB of free physical memory (as reported in the system summary screen in MSINFO32) if you are using full details and also check to make sure something else running in the background isn't blocking upper memory areas from the game.

Thanks Vice

I'll check with a restart and close all unnecessary programs first

I have 8G memory fitted but know from experience that it's specific areas that need to be free, so if the restart doesn't work I'll create the msinfo32 file

A fresh restart and closing some programmes solved it - thanks!

I have no idea where to put this post, so i'll do i here. In Onyx, the gates to Cerulean and Olympus seem to be swapped. The Olympus gate is north and the Cerulean gate south. Only took me a year to notice

I think I may have posted about it before too. Who knows what I will or won't remember sometimes.
