Spoke too soon. I thought it was fixed because I got past it yesterday when I wasn't recording. Today I try to continue recording my YouTube series but it once again crashes at the same point. Very frustrating. And yes, it still crashes when the recording software is closed - I tested that.

I've had the same thing happen a few months back. Derek took a look at my debugg.err and concluded it was a problem with an invalid item in a mod. I uninstalled the mod and the problem was solved. Are you using mods?

Your save is probably doomed though.

Then you may have to wait for 1.5 update to see if that will recover it. They have been successful with other individuals saves...

Anyone having this issue, please download and run the following utility:

http://sd.stardock.com/SDSupportTool.exe

This is a tool that we use to gather relevant log files and basic information about your computer. Once the utility finishes running, please send the .zip file it creates on the desktop to support@stardock.com

We hope that this is addressed in 1.5 but it can't hurt to have more data on it.

1.5 seems to have fixed my issues and I can still play the save-game. Thanks.
