K done.

I'm pretty sure that stardock (although says nothing) reads these forums and are working frantically about this problem. Don't want to say anything until they A figure it out and fix it, or B figure it out and tell you when it will be fixed....

like most people they will not reply when they C haven't figured it out, or D know the problem, but not when it will be fixed...

But I can probably say they are looking into it right now.

I've been reporting bugs (not specifically this one) from the beginning of FE beta and I have always found they have the bug lists they are working on, they just don't mention a lot of it nor do they tell us what is on that buglist. You can also see developer video of them actively looking at the forums (some of the others, not just Derek). They are really good at checking all these things, although they sometimes need a reminder since they may miss a post or two, so keep posting, but don't be discouraged that they are not looking, because they are.

I tested your save game against 1.5 with the updated fixes and I didn't get any crashes.  That doesn't garuntee that your crashes will be all fixed by 1.5, just that on my computer I was able to run your save without crashing.  If you can give me more saves that reproducably crash for you I'm glad to test them and see if they exhibit any symptoms here.

I tried this and it didn't crash for me with 1.5.

LOL....okay, well....at least I'm not the only one.

The GalCiv III news made me decide to dust this one off and give it one last try to see why everyone says FE:LH is so great.  Put a bunch of hours in before the update, now the save game is unplayable, just like Stridefar's and OP's.

I, also, have never managed to finish a game - from the Alpha of WoM thorugh FE:LH.  <sigh>  I guess the universe is just telling me to give up on this one.

Restarted a few times. It still crashes after 50 or so turns. I reload the save and the crash happens in the same place. Only one time out of the last three attempts did the crash not happen on a reload. very puzzling. 

  I have many similar crashes, often in v1.3, more in v1.4. The game plays well for a while, but by turn 200, it will crash about once every 5-6 turns, usually at the end of a turn, by turn 300, the crashes come every 2-3 turns, and sometimes in mid-turn, often after completion of a battle, but when other units are still available to move. By turn 450, the game crashes so often that I can't complete even a single turn.

  Another surprising thing that happens is when I go into a constricted battlefield (cave, dungeon, certain small cities) with a nine-unit army...the senior commander will not appear.  When the battle is over, he has lost all of his hit points and is wounded (his portrait is all red).  I stopped fighting with nine-unit armies for the past three weeks, but had the same thing happened today with an 8-unit army.

  I am about 50 turns away from completing the new v1.4 scenario, but can't go any farther due to the crashes.  I can't even make it halfway through the large Anthys maps.

  I am using the lowest resolution possible and a cloth map.  I have an AMD Radeon HD 6770M, with the newest driver as of November 7, 2013 running DirectX 11.  Only the Steam internet connection is running in the background.  The processor is an Intel 7-2600S 2.8 G quad-core unit, with 8GB RAM.  This should be able to handle the game easily.  It has no problems running Skyrim or the three games in the Bioshock series at high resolution.

  When I look at computer memory usage, I can see the game is using a whopping 1,400 MB just prior to crashing.

  I have over 250 hours invested in the game, but will do no more until I can play a full campaign.  As much as I enjoy the game, it isn't worth the time to invest in a playing a map, only to be unable to finish it after 25 hours of gameplay.  I probably had even more hours on Elemental, and it had a lot of similar memory problems, but they were eventually pretty well cleared up.  I had even more hours on GalCiv I & II, (all time great games) with no crashes, but they used a lot less memory. 

They usually release these things on a thursday... since it didn't happen last thursday one could probably expect it happening next thursday in beta format. Then about a week after that it should be released, if they find no issues. Of course Stardock would have the official word, and I'm just speculating due to past experience.

Okay cool I'll look forward to patch 1.5 then, thanks

You game crashed for me. I think Stardock found the problem. Derek was testing many of the saves against the new 1.5 build and it appears the game is no longer crashing for these examples. So now we just wait until 1.5 releases. No update when that will be yet. However, considering the patch notes showed up the beta will likely arrive within 2 weeks. 

I only crash very rarely, but when I do hit a crashing point it happens pretty consistently.

I think it is when research completes at the same time that an AI tries to do diplomacy with you.

Try to pick a different research and pass the turn, one that won't be complete soon, when that happens.

Also, if other people take your save, pass the turn, and then re-post the save, you should be able to start again from there.  I had someone do it with one of my saves before and it worked fine after that.

I have also heard suggestions to turn off automatic turn ending from people in relation to that bug.
