Crashing, after forming commonwealth

from GalCiv3 Forums

With mods off or on... I typically get a crash after forming a commonwealth, sometimes prior to starting a new turn, sometimes after. Maximum amount of turns I've gotten to after forming a commonwealth is two.

My debug file said this at the end of last time...

Any idea what would cause this?

Seems to be something missing. Have you tried verifying files?

Also upload a savegame just before a crash if you can.

Hi, I am having the same issue, it's crashing after I end the turn after founding a commonwealth 2 out of 2 times I tried.
I'm using modded leader images, backgrounds and logos.
Where can I find my savegame and where should I upload it?

Savegames can be found in Documents\My Games\GC3 or Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade. Just upload to Dropbox, or any other file sharing service, and post the link here.

Hey there. Verified files and started a new game... was going along, and eventually tried to create a commonwealth, crash upon clicking the next turn per usual.

Here is a save I made before attempting the Commonwealth. This was with mods enabled.

I got the message that Commonwealth could not be created because I hadn’t assigned a capital. I couldn’t find where to set the capital. Didn’t crash the game, but felt like a bug nonetheless.

You have to add colonies to the commonwealth before creating it.

Thanks Rhonin, it works now. Not incredibly intuitive though as I selected a planet and went to create a commonwealth from the colony screen, so I assumed that it would automatically include that planet in the commonwealth. But then I DO have to select it again from the list.

So it works, but it could be more intuitive.

Well I did a fresh install and seemingly I don't get crashes with commonwealths anymore! PHEW ;P

Gauntlet03 -- we've added a code check to prevent that crash again.
