1.20 - Unable to complete a came

from Stardock Forums

I'm on my third game for 1.2 and each of the three games has crashed at some point and been unrecoverable from the save file.  It usually happens when I hit the end turn button...

 

Can we download prior versions of the game somewhere?

I've seen some reports on this.  Does it happen when you do a quicksave or is it only with autosaves?

There's a problem with 1.2 that has been reported in two or three other threads with the game becoming unplayable after turn 100, but I don't believe that the devs have found the problem yet.

I myself have been forced to stop playing until a solution can be found. :puke:

Hi Brad,

When it happened to me, all my saves were corrupted:  the autosave, the previous autosave, the quicksave, and even the manual save "my Tarth game".  None of them worked when I tried to load so the game was lost.  This happened to me twice last week.

Thanx Brad.  After installing this patch I was able to get past turn 100, and all of my previous saves became usable again so I didn't have to restart the game.  Your efforts are appreciated.
