CTD - Access violation

from Stardock Forums
I'm having a CTD problem, usually late game, it's very reproduceable (it happens on about the same turn every time) but I can *sometimes* avoid it by playing completely differently (Like in my most recent game I declared war on my ally, all hell broke loose, and it didn't CTD for another 20turns). I'm not getting the divide by 0 error I've seen other people report, though, I'm getting access violations...

I can find a savegame to reproduce it and e-mail it to you if you'd like, just let me know.

Just got it again, with all sound turned off and autosave off. Damnit, I really want to finish this game! >=O

It's probably a better idea to send all the relevant data to [email protected] than to post it here. Yesterday I emailed her a savegame that crashed, and today she replied saying she found the bug, and attached a copy of the savegame re-saved so that I could finish the game. Best customer support I could possibly imagine.

This is the same crash as everyone else is getting, caused by freighters not having the correct trade route index (probably was loaded into an empty slot that wasn't empty when it was created).

I've fixed the bug and we'll probably posting an update later today.
