Thank you, I'll look into that!

First off, thanks for adding the feature to allow you to turn off the "Hinter." Alas, I too experienced an immediate crash when updating the mod. The crash I experienced is slightly different from that above, enough so that I'm also reporting it.

I added a note to your GitHub regarding this change (Pull Request #11), and attached the log file and a save game that will crash with this error within 5s or so. I hope this is helpful. The relevant part of the log is as follows:

233.482 Error MainLoop.cpp:1207: Exception at tick 67944164: The mod Logistic Request Hinter (1.2.0) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event LogisticRequestHinter::on_tick (ID 0)
LogisticRequestHinter/control.lua:149: attempt to index field 'vars' (a nil value)

I hope the save file will help you identify & fix this issue quickly. Sorry that my request is causing you yet more work.

Thanks again,

P^2

Hm, how is your game? Anything special with it? I don't understand the error message as it is :(

Yes, that message I understand; fix is underway. however I suspect that once fixed, you'll see the old message back

Second message should be fixed with 1.2.1. Let me know if the first still is present

Just published 1.2.2 that fixes your initial error message. Should be good now!

Though I don't know why it crashed at first time. But after I used the latest version it seems this it works well. If anything goes wrong again , I will ask for help again. Thanks a lot!

Just wanted to let you know -- I played for a couple of hours on your latest patch(es) -- 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. No issues whatsoever. Works exactly as you've spelled it out. Thanks for a great mod, and for the added features to boot!

Thank you both for the feedback, I'll close the subject for now :)
