Terramorphic Expanse Bug

[decker]

Hi sorry to post this outside the Bug list, but it is drving me insane...
Has anyone noticed in recent releases a big bug on Terramorphic Expanse ?

I'm getting it all the time now !
When I activate it, or when AI has it in hand, Manalink starts thinking and doesn't stop.

Please help, I had used it in like half of my decks, and now will probably switch them all out !

Confirm or not.

You said you switched OS, right? Expanse crashes on some OS, I think.

Yes I've changed to Windows Seven 64b, before I was on Xp 32b...

Does somebody on this board use a Seven 64bit ?

[monopoman]

The game just runs like crap outside of XP sorry dude.

There is nothing that can be done really...

I just replied to that custom installer 2010 thread with same problem. Running W7 64-bit here.

I have xp 32bit and the game stops working at Terramorphic Expanse too.

The exact same problem also used to occur with the fetchlands. Jatill in one patch rewrote the code for the fetches for some reason and the happy side effect was they started working perfectly under Vista (and now Windows 7).

Its described here:

I suspect the fix for expanse (and Wayfarer's Bauble) would be to apply whatever the fetchland change was to them as well

Okay, so for this revision I completely rewrote tutoring. Except I had some parts left over that I didn't know what they did, so I threw them out. So if you notice bugs with these cards, let me know ASAP. Worst case, I can roll back the old fetchlands.

Bugs Fixed:
-Farseek
-Goblin tutor (now tutors for Goblin Tutor)
-Fetchlands (made easier to use... maybe they work on Vista now? someone let me know either way)jatill

Just to inform you guys that I've installed Microsoft's 'Xp Mode' Virtual Machine on my 64b Win7 and that Manalink runs smoothly in it for the moment... didn't have any Terramorphic Expanse crashes.

That specific virtualization solution is easy to use as by default it goes to sleep mode when you turn it off, and it starts in just a few seconds.
Moreover I can run the Apps on my host desktop kind of like Citrix Publishing, no painful windows in windows effect.
