CTD on same turn reload

B5: If I save a game, then perhaps move a ship without updating the turn marker, then (for who knows what reason, but whatever) when I click load, pick the save I just made, when I click yes on do you want to load screen, I get a CTD. Once this happened I tried it several times (with different games) and it happened every time.

I am going to take a closer look at this before submitting a ticket because it may be more general and/or I may be able to supply more specifics.

It's a not a huge problem as I can see at present, as when I reload the game I can load the save and everything seems to be fine.

Edit: It's now looking as though the CTD happens ANY time I try to load a game while a game in in progress. I will submit a ticket as soon as I can.

Update:

Before completing a ticket I decided to try one more test. I started another new game, but this time just clicked "quick start". I then immediately tried to save and then reload the game. No problem!

I then went back to several of my save games that had been giving the problem (namely, an attempt to load another game while a game was in progress). After about a hafl dozen attempts without any CTDs I have to conclude that something had glitched and got sorted by loading the "quickstart". (I did not reboot or do any other prep.)

I could speculated that it had something to do with creating custom races before I started play. But that is sheer guesswork at the moment. Since I can't produce the symptoms at this point I am going to close this unless it reappears.

In particular, as I get a chance, I will be creating more custom races and doing some testing, but I am not very confident I can reproduce the symptoms, so at this point I will chalk it up to a one time glitch.

k, thank you for looking into it.

I also had a CTD on every reloaded save. Rebooting game, the save loaded every time. Within the same turn it CTD everytime. However since I opted into the beta patch it has stopped, although I have noticed that after every same turn save load the sound becomes slightly more scrambled each time, and the graphics performance slows and pauses until the game eventually crashes again.
