CONSTANT CRASHES

[Sgt_Sarge]

Is there ANYONE that manage to find a way to stop those constant crash when you save in late game.

are you playing with or without the community patch?

AFAIK, a lot of crashes are due badly scripted events gone wrong, however i remember crashes with saving, but i'd say that they were more the PC being overloaded than something else.

anyways, take all this with a grain of salt. with the devs dead and the community patch going slow. your best bet is either: Avoid touching your pc when it is saving. Or loading an earlier save and avoid some building or action that might be suspicious for you. Or just make another colony

after all, any colony that reaches 100 peeps is an astounding success anyways (both ingame and the game coding capacities)

A complete re-install fixed most of the crashes for me. And I mean complete. I uninstalled the game, manually went to both the Steam folder and the documents folder and deleted anything left from the uninstall, rebooted the machine, and then reinstalled both the game and the CE patch. I've played 15+ hours since then without a problem.

I also checked "Disable display scaling on high DPI setting" in the Compatiblity tab for the EXE too, but I'm not sure if that helped anything.

Ill try that

I think its working, im not late game yet but i can see much more stuff on the map and events that i have never seen before. Every thing feel like they are going much more smooth

I cant 100% be sure but im 75% sure the naturalist is crashing my game, maybe an event link with it or something

Yes. I found that crashes when saving a game in the latter stages of the game is not a cpu problem, its a GPU problem. If your graphics board only has 1 Gb of memory, it will crash. The reason for this is, there are more graphical components in the later stages compared to the earlier stages. I.E. more people, more buildings, more items etc.
I highly reccomend playing this game on an i7 cpu and a graphics card with at least 2 Gb of memory. 4 Gb of memory is even better. The more fans your graphics card has, the more steam punk there is.

This is an excellent idea as the CE patch updates are unannounced. I've found at least 2 updates since the patch was introduced and I'm sure there will be a new one coming soon.
