Thrown out of the game

Your save file may be messed up, or it may be running afoul of a bug that I fixed today. Can you zip your SaveGames folder for me and e-mail it to cbegle@stardock.com so that I can verify it? Thanks.

If you have Previous Auto Saves, you could try running from those so that you don't have to restart.

The problem is with the starbases, which weren't restoring their images properly. Thanks to your save game, I was able to fix it, and I think that this will also fix crashes during save games, and the problem where starbases and resources would disappear. Hopefully, this will have eliminated the last of the save game crashes. Unfortunately, this fix did not make it into tonight's build.

In future games, you could try killing off all the minor races as soon as possible so that they can't build constructors. I think that the major races' starbases all function correctly.

I tried to run as sugested fro my previous saves but after some turns I was thrown out again below please find the debug file and error log:
