My installation of EV 1.0.5 seems to be having some trouble. I played the New Horizons plug-in, and late in the game I noticed that my legal status was messing up - sometimes it read "safetyhazard.idsclean" or some other unintelligible string. On occasion it was the whole list stuck together like "offender.felon.fugitive" or something similar. I could still land on the planets in question depending on the color codes (blue/red/orange). I switched to the Pale 1.9 plug-in with a new pilot, but encountered the same problem. I copied the pilot file, trashed the EV folder and reinstalled EV and Pale, but got the same problems with the old pilot. Also, the opening music no longer plays, although in-game sounds work fine. I trashed the EV preferences to no avail. Any ideas? The opening music being mute occurs before so I doubt it's a pilot file problem. Did my installer get corrupted? I'm sure formatting the hard drive and reinstalling plus new pilot would fix things but it's a little extreme. It's only been 15 days, so I doubt it's a Captain Hector problem, either.

Have you tried giving EV more memory. (I believe those are rather big plugs.)
Oh well. I was all set to reformat the drive, too. I have 2 hard drives so it wouldn't have been that much of a hassle, but it would have taken a bit of time. Back to Pale... guess I'll give EV 40MB and see how it goes. The Redwing in Pale is surprisingly good... those mass drivers punch right through Kestrels. Have to remember not to take too many missions at the same time, though... running both confed and rebel strings at the same time got confusing
