Elite / Frontier FE2 Mining Bug Atari ST Version
- Thread starter Warbler
- Start date
The Mb4 mining machine bug was/is well known. Though I never dabbled in mining when I played originally.
Have you tied the PC version from here that's supposedly virtually bug free?

I use it on dos-box but I have not tried mining yet. Unfortunately I do not think your save games will be compatible which will mean you start from scratch.

The PC version was patched, & I believe I've played a patched Amiga version but I don't know if the Atari version got a patch.
Luckily I seem to have found a workable solution. By deploying all machines I'm able to trade ships again & resume normal play, except for being stuck with any machines I buy because the game will crash again when I try to sell them. But as I can still make progress that's no big deal.
