.61 Ship Design Crash to Desktop

from GalCiv3 Forums

When trying to build a colony ship I designed in Beta 2, the game is consistently crashing to desktop right after the population dialogue box.  I checked this by changing production to the generic colony ship and the game worked fine.  I submitted trouble ticket VKX-783-95850 with the debug.err file, save game before crash, and the ship design files in question.  No crash .zip file was created.

Also, the sound effects are awful.  I know they are placeholders, but they are so bad I had to turn the sound off.  Any chance you can change these in the next patch?

does your ship include custom exported parts?

It contains custom parts I saved in Beta 2 (design is posted in the Ship Design forum).  All I did in beta 3 was take a template design from Beta 2 and add engines and life support to make it useable in my current game.

custom parts are a known ctd bug, any ship using them will ctd upon launch from the shipyard or upgrading to the design using the custom parts.
