Lots of Crashes

I have been having lots of crashes with this game. I'm not sure if it's just my platform (XP 64-bit edition), or if it also happens in a 32-bit OS. Basically, the thing that kills me most often is the ship design and the invasion stuff.

When I design a new ship and click on something that puts the space available bar into the red, the design window locks up. I can hit next turn until the auto-save happens, but then I have to alt-tab and end-task, then load the autosave. I have a saved game where I just did this and now I cannot even open the saved game without a crash. Also, once the game crashes, I have to reboot to get back into it, so it seems like it is destabalizing the OS, which I have not had happen on me since I moved to XP.

Also, in the invasion battles, it will just randomly crash out. Again, I need to reboot to get back into the game.

There have been problems reported with ship design upgrades, obsoleting ship designs, and deleting ship designs. I just checked with Cari and she says she just found and fixed several problems in this area. The problem you describe sounds like it results in an incomplete design description in the ship description files, which is similar to what was happening with obsoleting/updating/deleting ship designs.

Cari says the fix could be in one of the next two builds.
