Crashing all the time

from GalCiv3 Forums

I played for nearly 4 hours without it crashing and now it's just crashing all the time with specific actions which is trying to build a transporter and trying to set up a space station in enemy territory. Both actions stall/crash the game every time.  I cannot create transports so I can't win a game.

I also made the point that the planet info should come up upon clicking on the planet to make it easier to launch ships and stuff and someone in another post said it does this by double clicking on it. That's not true. Double clicking on it takes you to the ground and not the planet info where you can manage, quick build...launch ships..etc. That UI piece would likely work better if it hovered over the planet when selected or right clicking or something so it's right there rather than the lower corner.

Anyone else crashing when taking these two actions?

I'm running a high end machine with Windows 8. AMD FX 8 core 8320 3.51GHZ, 8Gigs RAM, nVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2gig GDDR5

I tried rebooting as well and pretty much every time I try to build a transport it will crash. I'm entering the War Time era.

A fresh reboot with nothing else running doesn't fix it.  It's actually corresponding with the auto save intervals during the transport build.

If I don't build it then it moves on.  I changed the auto save interval which effects when it crashes.  So a little trial and error paid off. Now I may try extending it to a huge amount or turn it off and see what happens

I tried it with no auto save and it still immediately crashes so I was wrong in it effecting it. It is when transporter is in que. At least for me. Every time.  Same with trying to build a star base in enemy territory though I think I did it once before with success.
