CTD: After saved game is loaded

from GalCiv3 Forums

Loaded game CTD after clicking around a bit. When pushing end turn, it will prompt for an idle ship and when it is the players turn again it freezes or crashed directly to desktop

Can provide savegame if you let me know where to look and where to upload it (can link in maybe with the link option and a drop-box URL)

Update: Managed to get through the issue

 

After several attempts the game could not get through the turn

  • Then upgraded to Patch 1 but did not resolve the issue
  • Then disabled Autosave option - the game did not freeze - guess the game was trying to save at the beginning of the turn

I was around turn 270 on medium map with 5 AI

  • RAM: 16 GB
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 3.6 GHz
