There's been a chance the game would crash when loading up a battle, but within the last few days it has become a constant. Every battle I engage in where I try to view the battle, the game crashes. I never see the battle animation screen and there is no error message.
Anyone else seeing this?
Yep, battle viewer crashes/hangs still pretty common. I find it happens a lot more consistently when I fight one fleet (pirates for example), then a different type of fleet on the next turn (krynn). It's really hard to diagnose since these hangs don't leave any debug dumps and technically the game doesn't fully crash.

The issue I've seen isn't where the game or screen goes black, it simply "locks" on whatever screen I was on before I started the battle viewer, minus the prompt... so at first you think well the music is still going, maybe it's just thinking, but nah it's done. Nonetheless I will try disabling engine trails - perhaps engine trails off should be the default graphics option until the issue is resolved?
Yep. It's infinite engine trails. For now, just disable them.
