This is a reprint from a post in the general part of the DW forum. I copied it so that tech support would see it.

I have uploaded a save game file with the stuck Crash Research bug. It's called Stuck crash research.dwg. In this save game file I started a crash research program and it's now stuck. Unfortunately this is the third straight game I had to quit because of a bug. First one I put in several hours only to find out that none of my personal designs for the private sector were being built. Got around it, sorta by upgrading the private sector ships and letting the computer name them. Next was the bug I encountered when loading my own ship designs and because there was tech I hadn't researched yet the designs wouldn't show up in the construction window. So I started a new game today, I left all the private sector ships alone and designed only ships that I can build. After playing several hours I get this research bug and it basically ends my game, I can't research anything else. So to make a long story short I'm calling it quits on this game. I have spent close to 40 hours playing it (first 20 learning it, which I don't mind) only to have start over after playing several hours into a game only to have it end because of some bug. I am going to keep an eye on this game because I really like it, but I cannot play it in it's current state and I can't recommend this game to anybody else in it's current state. I've spent a lot of time learning the game and I'm tired of figuring out ways to get around the bugs.

I am hoping this game turns out like SEIV, where a patch or two turns it into a playable game and then additional patches and mods only improve it.

Yeah, at the moment I have lost every game due to some horrible bug, or having crash and eat the save at the same time.

As for the stuck crash research, this happens anytime you gain the tech from some other method before the research finishes, either because you already have it as a racial special, or because you acquired it from a trade, as loot, or stole it.
