Post combat game crash |
I've found that after a few battles with the same ships the game will crash back to the desktop with an error:
"Access violation at address 0068961D in module 'SE5.EXE'. Read of address 00000008."
At first I thought it might be the ships themselves so I scrapped them and built new ones, different sizes and designs. No luck. The only other thing I thought it could be was maybe there was a problem when the crew gained experience, but one ship is green and another is average.
Any suggestions?

Same problem for me, just
Same problem for me, just another number "0047c519" instead. Doesnt seem to be tied to number of battles, if I retrofit a ship, and send it into battle after repair, game crashes.
So the game is more or less unplayble right now, unless I scrap every ship after every battle, and never retrofit.
Many planets, one crash
I've fought dozens of battles with the same ship, destroying ships or glassing planets, and it only crashed after more than a year of battle, for a seemingly random reason. As the ship was more than a year of travel away from my empire, it definitely didn't get resupplied or retrofitted at all, either.
Yep, a year away. The computers stopped expanding for reasons I never discovered because they refused to let my intelligence get through...

Best thing to do is save your game every turn, then once you get the crash, send a copy of the savegame, along with a detailed explanation of how to reproduce the error to se5 (at) malfador (dot) com and hopefully Aaron will be able to squish the bug in the next patch.
