    Playing without any saves or reloads

    I answered the 2-3 times and on crashes, but that is really not accurate. Will always use auto save on crashes, but that has only happened two or three times fro me. I've played the gane for about sixteen months now. Probably average 20 hours a week of playing time and onother 3-4 hours a week...

    I too had the crash on bomber intercept problem with 1.21. Have not had it in a recently completed 1.27 game. I'm not sure whether it was with auto bomb or any bomb run that was intercepted, but I know that I did use auto bomb some in my 1.27 game (though I'm not sure whether an auto bomb...

    PTW crash on bomber intercept

    In my case, no I am only playing single player. In my case monarch, standard map, pangea. By the way, I've gotten to the point of jet fighter intercept of my bombers in my current game as well. This time it doesn't crash every time there is an intercept, but it has crashed twice.

    PTW crash on bomber intercept

    I should add that I have reloaded the game from the save game file going back the the start of the turn, and going back two turns. It doesn't seem to make any differance, anytime any bomber is intercepted by a jet fighter the game crashes. I also tried to go a two tuns forward by not using...
