Reloading after a crash

[samtregar]

Hello all. I'm playing my first GOTM and I'm worried that my save might look like I replayed a turn. Around 1000AD the game crashed to the desktop and I had to reload from an auto-save. Will I need to include a list of crash-points with my submission (the game crashes fairly often for me)?

Thanks!

SHort answer is that if its crashing frequently, then yes, please let us know (and perhaps keep a copy of the saves that you relaod from).

When it happens, then please make every effort to replay the turn as close as possible to how you played it originally - even silly moves or bad results. I find that its useful to save at the end of a turn as well - crashing on the inter-turn or start of the next turn is more prevelent (I find).

We expect the odd crash here and there, so will have a reasonably tolerance for it. Hopefully the stability will increase with subsequent patches.

Aiie, this happens to me a lot too, but I didn't think to mention it. I have a ton of saves because of it but don't always remember to save it and have to reload from autosaves quite often also. I find it usually crashes on me, when I leave the game to it's own devices for more than 5 minutes before ending my turn. Smoke break, grab a drink, bio type of leaves when I come back to finalize turn before ending, usually my first action after getting back crashes the game...I was hoping the patch would stop the CTD's or at least make it better, but it hasn't really, it plays better on my laptop than my PC...the opposite of what many people have claimed. My PC has better specs too.

Please let me know if you need any specific replays, I usually delete them after a game because there are soo many. In this case I have them on two unnetworked PC's however, was playing half from home on desktop and half from work on laptop.
