Hm.. cycled on all settings , had a few crashed when number of planets set to "Rare" but not consistent ...
Either it some combination of settings or first successful start "reseted" something , now in 99% of cases new game starts OK...

Please go to https://www.stardock.com/products/smartexception and follow the instructions there to install and run SmartException.  Then, the next time that you get a crash, you can submit the the crash log.

I DO have SmartException installed but all it does is just jenerating "empty" (CPU registers and type only) report.
|I even reinstalled it - same sh#%#$%

I believe it's related to the fact that I hav VS .Net 2003 installed and it's debuger catches the exceptions somehow (I am programmer too ) .
Any idea on how to make SmartExeception work without uninstalling VS ?
