When I started up VS 11970, I was never given the option to load a game, start a single-player game, or start a multi-player session; instead, when I should have been given that options screen, I was unceremoniously dumped on a rocky planet without any spacecraft. Deleting ~/.vegastrike did not help the situation, and afterwards I was still marooned on the rocky planet without getting the load screen.
I tried launching, and to my surprise the game did not crash; however, I wound up floating in space, in a system I did not recognize, with blue clouds as the background. Several objects were present, including jump points and the planet, when I turned so that the planet was in front of me on the radar it did not appear visually.
Additionally, although I specifically set the High Quality Font option on, the fonts displayed are not the high quality ones - it appears the option is not being obeyed.
Update: All planets show as Rocky, even Oceanic ones; it appears something has been corrupted. I will delete data4.x and download it again; if it works, I'll delete this. If it still doesn't work, be aware that it might be corrupted in SVN.

This is so far gone beyond any changes done to data4.x that it has to be some local fubar on your machine. The errors you describe would involve errors in python scripts and vegastrike code dealing with options. Both of which havn't had edits related to that directly or indirectly.

You might try validating it to see if any thing is off i use "Peter's XML Editor" in XP found it on TUCOWS it has a built in validation function.

Apparently it is messed up, xmlwf gives me this:
vegastrike (copy).config:254:4: not well-formed (invalid token)
I would assume 254 is the line number? If that is the case, nothing appears to be wrong with line 254 (the code there is correctly commented out), and I did not change anything on that line.
