I recently started trying to play this game again and am getting regular crashes...

I made it though one game. The last three games crashed.

I've got the latest E4X mod installed, and a personal mod that changes the AI's interest in building mines to 0 in the gameplay.constant file.

I was going to try to post the dumps but it seems I can't attach files here... so I guess I'll leave the analysis from WinDbg of the latest one.

Is there anything useful here? Seems the problem was a null pointer...
