ORIGINAL: castor troy Are there plans to fix this annoying crash to desktop after saving the game? No matter if I wait 5 seconds, 10 minutes, 1 hour I have 7 out of 10 times this crash after saving the game. Hitting the esc key doesnīt help, same result when clicking on exit in the menu! ITīS REALLY ANNOYING!! [:(] Not to save while doing my turns isnīt also a really good possibility as Iīm having crashes after leaving other menus like ship avaibility too. The CTD on exit of save menu was not addressed in v1.8 as this symptom, while it is clearly a bug, does not affect the ability to play the game. In other words the game is saved correctly despite the CTD. On the other hand the CTD that occured "often" upon exit of the Ship Avilability screen was fixed in v1.8 so if this is still happening under 1.8 we would like to see a save showing that. Ya know ANY CTD is a bug as far as I am concerned. This one is perhaps the MOST anoying bug I have ever seen in a game. I rarely ever take a swipe at the WITP staff or Matrix but I am sorry..... to say that it does not affect the ability to play the game is simply BS.[:-] I think that most players are saving after each turn, especially if they are playing PBEM. Sorry to get on the soap box here but this one has been around since like 1.3. So I can honestly say that I am surprised that you guys do not think that it is more serious. I know there are some workarounds, however I can honestly say that I have done the 10 second count.....waited until I see the busy light on the case stop and STILL CTD when saving. Other than that........I must of course say how happy I am that Matrix and WITP staff keep plugging away at this true masterpiece! Thank you and sorry for the bitchiness OK, your position on the soap box is duly noted. Now here's mine: This problem is related to something deep in the internals of the game. It is not easy to find, especially since it is intermittent. We made the decision to skip over it in the interest of getting V1.8 out quickly. In so doing we also put it at the back of the list for reasons already listed. You should also know that I, personally, take offense at the use of the term simply BS. In fact, I find it to be generally HS (thats Horse).
