This has happened a couple of times. I get a message saying that DW has stopped working. But as long as I totally ignore the windows message block, it doesn't actually DO anything. I just move it out of my way to the side or bottom of the screen. Eventually if I play for a while, the windows message vanishes and never has an effect. If I click on the block it stops the program and drops me back to my home screen.

When I do exit the game, there it still is on my home page waiting to be clicked, but the game goes on as if nothing had happened.

up untill 1.0.4.9 I got this on a regualr basis (every hour or so). But still I could continue to play, although I believe it killed the ship assignment AI.

I get this every game now. I noticed that I could carry on playing and did but the longer I played the more I realised the AI was going to rat ****. First the AI stopped automating my military ships, they all sat around with <no mission>. Then eventually all my private sector ships were doing stupid things like just hanging around in the middle of nowhere. Strangely I could still save. I'm yet to reload and see if the problem persists because I was looking at getting a new PC soon and hoped it was PC specific.
