the crash reporter is already proving useful! it's unveiled two apparently-common bugs! one I was able to easily fix, so quickly put together this release. it occurred when you ship was disabled, and a shield destroyed as a result.
the other bug is a bit weirder... "No such interface supported" associated with some MediaPlayer calls. unfortunately, this isn't code I've written; it's internal stuff associated with the library I use for playing music, drawing graphics, etc. googling around, though, it looks like the error might be associated with Windows Media Player, which is used internally to play Mysterious Space's music!
I'm hoping that saying all this makes something click in people's mind... like "oh, I hate Windows Media Player, so I've done everything I could to remove it; that must be why." but of course it's also possible that there's just a bug in the library I'm using to play music (MonoGame), and I'm definitely going to file a bug report and see what the developers there have to say.
WELL: anyway: sorry about the bugs, guys! I know it sucks to lose progress! or be unable to play a game you paid for! (does Steam do refunds? I should look into that.) but I'll continue fixing bugs as fast as I can! and thanks for reporting them!
