Game crashes when Savegame is loaded

from Stardock Forums
Hi together,
i got a little problem atm :

from a certain point of my last game (huge, bright enemies, abudant) i wasnt able to load my savegames (i guess i need 50 turns to finish the game). when load status is at 100% the game simply shuts down and im back on windows (OS is w2k server btw). i tried to load autosave and galciv shot down again. tried to load prevorious autosave then and it worked. i played one hour more, saved and tried to load again. now none of the savegame (actual by hand and two autosaves) didnt work. this all happened at 1.03 version. i reinstalled and tried with 1.03 again and then 1.04 > same result.

is anybody aware of problems concerning load savegames ?
i searched in forums but didnt find anything...

Hey both, esp. One Japanese...I'm in Japan too, but I'm half not full Japanese.
anyway regarding save games. I found this and maybe somebody else can confirm. This concerns 1.04
You cannot save over a file which was saved under a version less than 1.04. You cannot load autosave if autosaves were the same autosaves used to save games under 1.04.

Solution:
1.)Delete your save game files from the directory (start from scratch and delete your autosaves also)
does that make sense?
2.) Make sure the first time a save file is created that it is created in the same version as the current game.

Actually, he should be able to play games from 1.03.

If you still have your save games, you can send them to me at [email protected] along with the debug.err file, I'll see if I can find anything wrong.  I'll need both the .sav files and the corresponding folders.

First, though, try deleting the events.civ0 file from your save game folders and see if that clears the error.
