Game Crash at certain point

April 6, 2006 6:00 PM from

Hello and sorry for my English!

It's my first game and I am playing it for some hours now. But now at a certain point the game crashes and I don't know what to do. Last thing I could see every time the game crashes is a Trade Ship flying on a Trade Route and then jumping back on the route.

Ok, tried to move the ship manually. The game crashes then too. Seems to be a Problem when the Ship enters a certain area. I have a Savegame if someone needs it?!?

Ok, tried to move the ship manually. The game crashes then too. Seems to be a Problem when the Ship enters a certain area.

I have a Savegame if someone needs it?!?

Now I have tried to stop the ship - and I can play the game on and on but when any (of my ships) reaches this point in the galaxy the game crashes as before.

You need to run the game with Regional English enabled. I can't find the link but there are instructions on fixing this problem here somewhere on the forums. Maybe some one else can supply it.

Hello Oldstatesman, thank you for your reply.

I have changed the regional Settings like explained in the instructions here in this forum. The only change is that the game is in english now but the game crashes as before (in exactly the same area of the galaxy).

Anyway, thank you for trying to help me.

If you can zip your saved game and send it to [email protected] along with the info you had in your main post that would be awesome.

Game crashes at a partcular spot no matter what I do . . . I've been playing this one for a few hours to

Well, if it crash on a particluar spot, then you should be able to make a savegame just before the spot, zip it, and send it to [email protected] with instructions on how to go to that spot, with the debug.err and smartexception report associated with the crash. That will really help the devs.
