Arrrghhhh...CTD on Load Save Game.

from Stardock Forums
This has happened to me once before, but I was able to load "Previous Auto Save" and it worked fine. The "Auto Save" CTD that time too. This time none of them will open and I really am not happy. Half way through a Huge game.... (:(

Anyone know how to fix this.

It's usually the result of:

A) Loading a game from an older version into an updated galciv.exe (1.02 game running under 1.03A57).
B) Loading a game after downloading and adding a mod, or mods.
C) Something else.

In the case of A, you're hooped unless you backed up your previous galciv.exe.
In the case of B, you just need to remove the mod.
In the case of C, you can check "debug.err" in the \galciv directory. Open it in a text editor and look for the first instance where the game crashed. If this doesn't tell you anything, you may have to get the attention of the devs and mail in the saved game.

It's caused by one or more ships losing their assigned homeworld. It's happened to lots of people with 1.03. The bug is fixed (according to the readme) in 1.04, but for your game all you can do is email the same game files to CariElf at cbegle@stardock.com and she will hopefully fix it for you and mail them back.
