Crashes after the new patch

The first time I loaded a save game with the new patch it crased to the desktop. I started the game up and tried loading it again and it worked fine...

Are the games you're loading from before the patch? Also, if you're posting about crashes you should post the debug file. There's a sticky on what to do if your game crashes.... I'll just post a link to it so you don't have to do any looking.

Saved games from games played on pre-1.0X versions are generally compatible. But there was some structure changes that could cause this.

I have to admit I have had my first CTD two nights ago.....but only after I built that ridiculously huge Grand Dragon ship (check ship design post for pic).....I guess it was a little too much for my system when I decided to take on multiple fleets and watch the battles. The ship was just TOO complex I think. I still use it but only watch the battles if they are limited.

Nope, I started the current game after installing the new patch. Oh, and the other saved game that had crashes related to it was started after I downloaded the "un-finalised" 1.0X on weekend, I think.

And thanks for the link, I'll post the debugger info there.

I've noticed there's always a CTD IF:

- During the campaign you create a new save game (NOT one of the autosaves)
- Start a non-campaign game, save the game with the same new save game you created during the campaign.
- When loading this save game, it'll crash.

This might just be me, and it might require more specialized circumstances than those I mentioned above, I'm not sure.
Might this be what you're running in to?

I had my 1st CTD last night. It happened after I reloaded a previous save, trying rewrite a little history.

All of a sudden the computer realized all the AI's ships I bought prevously on the other side of the galaxy where out of range. I started getting multiple pop ups about everyone going for a long sleep and then the whole thing crashed. The ships were headed back some time before the reload and i never got the pop up about the range problem when I bought them and pointed them home.

Game was started after I updated so that was not a problem. I'll reload tonight and see if it works. Last night I took the crash as a sign I really, really, needed some sleep and the rest of universe would have to wait.

I've encountered a problem where all the game is stuck in the strategic view. Do you know if this is a hotkey problem? Or could it be a graphics issue

My game reload worked fine last night. No issue. Guess it just needed as much sleep as me.
