Crash on Ship Custom Design Save

I can't say that's a common issue. Could you post your debug.err file here (located in the GCII directory) after you're able to reproduce this problem? You could also send that in to [email protected] with a reference to this thread.

Hi,

I installed the game yesterday after downloading and I've experiencing the same problem. I just woke up but i'll send a report too as soon as the game crashes

Yea I've had this too
But it only happened when I saved a ship I built from the New (as opposed to the upgrade) under the same name of another ship from another game (ex: I just finished a game where I had a ship "Little Bitch". When I tried to save in another game another ship called by the same name, it crashed)
I dunno if that's the way to reproduce, but it's the only way I've had crashes when saving a ship design

I will reproduce it next time I play. I have been able to temporarily fix this using info from another post. The crash was occuring at the last save screen after you enter a ship name. If you hit enter after naming the ship to remove the cursor the crash will not occur. If the cursor is still blinking in the name box it CTD when you hit 'Save' or 'OK'.

I had this previous to 1.0X patch. I attributed it the smoke pouring off my video card. No issues since the patch.

I didnt have this bug before. I have it today when I updated to 1.0X.

Me too, as soon as I updated started having trouble

:

Well, good news for me is that I have not had the bug again lately, although I'm being careful to get rid of the blinking cursor before saving.

Just had the same thing occur. Hope they get this fixed soon.

this is easy to reproduce. play a game, design ships give them your usual names. then, the next game you play, do the same thing, ie use those names that you usually always give to your ships. if the name has already been used in a past game and GPF. i keep telling myself to lower the autosave delay so i can recover with the least loss and i keep forgetting to do that.

this just happened recently, and went to the user data folder (my docs/my games/galciv2) to delete the custom ships file.. reloaded my autosave, and all the files re-appeared, so i'm guessing the ships are also stored in the save.

therefore to get rid of this problem, delete your ship files, start a new game, and remember to delete your old ship designs instead of just rendering them obsolete
