Game crashes to desktop from single player and multiplayer

[AngryCats]

I just started playing again a couple of days ago, played a few games of multiplayer, a few single player and about 10 turns of galactic war. Almost every time I crashed at least once to desktop. Says game is still running but it's not. Had to stop it and start again.

Today I found there's an update for my graphics driver, updated it, no difference. I hate having to restart galactic war missions due to crashes or losing access to a single player game I'd been playing for a while because the game just didn't want me playing it.

I'm using most of the following community mods:

- AI Bug Fixes and Enhancements
- Galactic War Overhaul
- WPMarshall's Map Pack
- Queller AI
- Legion Expansion Client
- Legion Expansion
- AI Mod Compatibility Framework
- HodgePodge
- System Sharing for Titans & Classic


What should I do?

Looks like clearing the downloads folder in the data folder, validating my steam cache and system requirements are not the issue, I'll see what else I can do in that guide

Edit: Note I'm using Windows 10

it seams to do this randomly! it kinda does this expacaly if you don't have more then 16GB of ram! my computer only has 8GB so the game crashes alot more! it is recomended you got 16GB or more of ram to reduce crashes! sencse the much more difclt both vinila and moded ai can overload the ram of a good computer if it doesn have enogh ram! 16gb is the recomend amonut of ram!

I've got 32 GB of RAM so I should be ok there.

Hm, my processor is a AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor (16 CPUs) ~3.2 GHz and my graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti so that should all be ok right?

I'm not sure what else I need to do, it seems like I should meet all the requirements and I did the stuff in the troubleshooting.

My galactic war seems to crash less after the download folder clearing/steam file verification but single player I need to set it to auto save or something or I may as well not play.

There was one game it started to slow down after a while and then I saved, quit and reloads and the units stopped moving very slowly so maybe there's a memory leave once the unit count hits a certain amount? Or maybe just a memory leak in general?

One other thing - if I leave the system designer open for a while it just crashes out too. 5 1000 radius planets, shouldn't be an issue.

Ok now I can't even load my save game (single player). Tried loading and first attempt seemed to work but then my commander self destructed without me telling him too a few seconds after loading. So I tried to load the save and found that my save had been overridden by that result of the match even though I DID NOT save, just quit. So my commander was already dead :(

So I loaded an earlier save, it tried loading for a while then did what PA seems to normally do these days and quit to desktop. I'll try loading my Galactic War save and see if PA will let me do that or if that's something to abandon too :(

well the game desont like planets that have a 1000 readuis it will crash if the pov goues to one

You can ignore those.

What seems more concerning is that it looks like something is blocking access to your local server

[JS/IconAtlas] does not refer to your Titan unit

[mashtong54]

[mashtong54]

good thing apple makes it easy to configure the firewall
