If it's that, the antivirus is being 100x slower at analyzing it than any other program it's ever looked at.

On a whim, tried launching the Debug build manually, rather than going through the launcher. Nothing happens. There's a process created, but I can't seem to kill it in any way.

Could it be a corrupted file? Maybe I'll try re-downloading.

That really, really sounds like the (mis)behavior of antivirus software. What's your antivirus, and have you just tried temporarily disabling it to see if it works?

Speaking of Her Finest Hour, there's also a change I didn't like. I rather liked the music that played in the opening stages of the mission. It gave the whole battle a kinda-badass feel to it.

Yeah, this one is quite a shame. I originally thought that the old "Two steps from hell" song for "Her finest hour" was probably the best use of 3rd party music in whole War in heaven.

The new song doesn't have the same "oomph" effect

Patch and new recommended builds are out.

You forgot to include the mod.ini and other miscellaneous files with the manual download.

[General Battuta]

Oh, yeah! Huh. Ok. I've never done this before.

[General Battuta]

Fixed?

If the new recommended builds from the installer post are good, I'll put them in the manual post too.

Seems you are correct. Told Avast! to shut up and sit down and it worked without a hitch.

No errors upon loading the game, but the Debugger got angry when I tried to play the mission (again: Rheza Station) and spat an error.

Proper fs2_open.log posted.

Are you playing with a debug build? You don't need to do that.

[Dark Hunter]

No, I'm playing with the standard build. I only broke out the debug build upon encountering this issue because I thought it would provide more useful information.

[General Battuta]

Okay. Run the FSO installer, see if the new patch fixes the issue. If not we've got trouble.

[CT27]

Just to make sure I understand things right:  we should run the installer again to get this update/patch (I guess this would be patch/update #2)?

[General Battuta]

Yes, tell it to install Blue Planet again and it will update automatically.

[CT27]

Just in case someone needs to do it manually, what specific files in the BPC release post would we need to redownload?

[General Battuta]

Core, FS Blue, Visuals 1, Visuals 3, and Advanced if you're using that.

[Dark Hunter]

New patch and that new Nightly build seem to have done the trick. No more input delays, and the game is overall running much more smoothly.

[Makhpella]

What's the name of DEM? It plays when the SD Abel warps in. It is also ****ing gorgeous.
Also, what's the name of brief08?

Erm... everytime I select the exe file of the suggested nightly build it crashes my launchers... both the wx and the 5.5g one.

Any idea what's going on there?

[Dark Hunter]

If it's the same problem I was having, it's the antivirus being a dick.

It is strange though, the antivirus never had a problem with any FSO builds prior to 11/3... what exactly are you coders putting into these releases?

[CT27]

Just a little heads up if people are doing it manually:

7-Zip has released a new version today.

Well, Nightly Builds switched from VS 2013 to VS 2015, but that was on the 6th, not the 3rd... if we're triggering some kind of antivirus heuristic, though, it could just be a completely coincidental thing (a function change resulting in the compiled executable having a series of bytes that happens to now look suspicious). Or a recent definition update.
