[Beta 3 .805] [CRASH] Crash when loading saved game

from Elemental Forums

So I saved my new game on turn 1 right after the world had been generated. I'm new to the beta so I wanted to be able to go back in case I messed up too much exploring the different options :P

Crash occurs when I tried to load the saved game. Tested it three times.

 

Debugg.err, DxDiag.txt, and the memory dump are all located here:

This is definitely a repeatable crash.. total system crash too.. well i shouldn't say that as much as the mouse is still operable. the music still plays but everything isnt responsive.. i can alt-ctrl-del and make out the resize cursor of my invisible task manager on top of the elemental screen but nothing will break it out except a reboot..

I have the a similar issue which was talked about on another thread that frogboy called a timing issue most likely with multi-core systems. 

The workaround is to open the game then go to the load game menu but wait 30 or so seconds to actually load the save game. 

Here is the link to the thread if it helps:

ok yes.. that worked Dougful..

 

waiting about 60 sec into the loading screen enabled me to load a game.. you can actually see the scrolling background unable to cope with the background processing.. if i wait less than 60 sec from the main menu and try and load.. it crashes and locks up, but ctrl alt del enables me to bring up task manager and be able to get out..

 

you can see the 1 core maxed to 50%..
