Hi,

just sent a report to SD (with SmartException). But wanted to post it anyway, maybe to get a quicker response. I currently have the latest version of DL and DA (just updated with SDCentral)

- I load a game I last saved on march 11 (don't remember the version at that time)
(I know, long time ago, but had so much to do past few weeks, haven't got the time to play)
- I acknowledge the Research Screen and the Planet screen without doing nothing else;
- I click the Domestic Stats;
- I click Trade
- bang, get a black screen and ejected from the game.

The debug.err file:
