I am having the exact same problem. When I first installed DA and tried to load a save game and it crashed, I figured it was because DA wasn't compatible with DL, so I started a new game. I am able to start new games of DA with no problem as well. However, when I tried to load the new game of DA after a save I get the same Crash to desktop. I'm not sure what the problem is, but my debug message seems alot shorter than rcf051's.

Rule of thumb:

Don't load saved games from previous versions. They are seldom compatible.
Reply #3 Top
like i said, i tried and it didnt work, and that's what I figured, but now I am trying to load a DA game started after installing 1.5x with 1.5x and it still crashes.
Reply #4 Top
I made an error. The debug.err file I posted above was from my GC2 directory, and not DA. Since this is a DA gaem and a DA problem, it is irrelevant and useless. Please find below the contents of my debug.err file from my DA directory. Sorry for the mix up, and thanks in advance for the assistance.

Are these new saves from 1.5x, not games started under 1.50?
Reply #7 Top
Mine are from games started under 1.50X and loaded running version 1.50X
Reply #9 Top
I have the same basic problem as William. The game runs perfectly fine as a new game but after reloading as a save game it becomes rediculously unstable. I'm lucky to get through 1 or 2 turns before CTD. Happens at all sorts of different times during my turn, AI turn or in between. Quite frustrating.

Mine was a pre-1.50x saved game. Stardock is very good about conveying information to consumers, and I think it would tell us if pre-1.50x saves aren't compatible with 1.50x.

Some new information for consideration. I've been playing a new game (started under 1.50X) for a few days now. Up until just now, I was able to load games and not have the same CTD problem as I reported earlier. However, just now, when I tried to load an autosave game from the in game menu it crashed before loading. Trying again from the DA start menu, the same thing happened. When I loaded a much earlier personally named save it loaded without problems. This may mean that there is a problem not with all save games but just with autosaved games crashing. On the other hand, it might be that all saved games crash after reaching a certain point in the game (ie, a particualr tech researched, a level of CPU intensiveness, a mega event, or any number of other things). Needless to say it is quite frustrating. I understand that all games have bugs, and it takes time to work them out after they're reported, but I would appreciate some feedback from a moderator or dev regarding the issue, at the very least acknowledging that it is a recognized problem. I'll post the most recent debug.err file below for review.

Please install 'SmartException' from the free stuff section in Stardock Central. Make sure that SE is running and start your game as normal. If the game crashes it will generate an exception report that can be emailed to gc2bugs@stardock.com. If SE does not automatically pop up and prompt you to send the report when the game crashes, you can find it at C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException (it will be the newest file with a .CRA extension).

Please include a description of what you were doing at the time, how to reproduce the crash if possible, and a zipped save if applicable when you send an SE log to gc2bugs.
