Hi Amplitude! We've encountered this strange crash that prevents us from loading the game in multiplayer. I cannot invite my friend to a game as she either keeps crashing after joining the lobby or the game freezes for her when it's loading. She tried loading it and inviting me but I got the same crash error. It's turn 278 and the game ends on turn 279 with my friend winning a diplomatic victory (she tried it solo and it loaded). I'm playing Broken Lords, she's playing Drakken. We're both running 32-bit versions of the game as we're AMD users.

My pc: i5 3550 3,30 GHz, Radeon HD 7850, 8 gb ram, Win7 64 bit;

Her laptop: i3 m370 2,40 GHz, Mobility radeon HD 5470, 4 gb ram, Win7 64 bit.

Error text:

Save file attached (note that it loaded in single player mode just fine), output log attached, diagnostics attached (not sure they concern the said game though): EL_crash_report_axi.zip

Thank you.

Edit: I should also note that we can load any other save file we have normally, it's this one that's borked.

Found a workaround by loading the game and joining it as my friend's empire and then switching back to my empire and inviting her. Still, it exists, and we also found this crash in the other game we started.

Okay, so it does not work all the time. Particularly the workaround described above does not seem to work half the time with manual saves, but it works better with autosaves for some reason. Sometimes my friend gets thrown out of the game in the middle of a loading screen. Thing is the loading screen shows up with the wrong race for her as if the game failed to place her into the proper race slot. Hope it helps to solve the problem.

Been a while. Has there been any progress, this is making the game impossible to play.
