Hi guys, 

just recoverd a workaround for the savegame-problem. Maybe it can help... 

Trying to inimize the wasted time, i saved every five turns, emediatly loading it again, to veryfy the savegame. 

Anyting ok for 50 turns... next day, all savegames crash at loading (~70% - starting the game, game startet, freeze...). 

After loading a working savegame, crashing saves are loadable from within the game by pressing [esc] and simply loading it. 

Works fine on any crashing save i found. 

Looks to me like the Problem isn't the save itself, but the loader or the initialisation of the game.

for me, the method is still working fine

my last working saved game was turn 252, actual i`m at 356. Any savegame (manual as well as auto) above 252 crashes at loading but is still loadable from within the game.

Do your autosaves crash on loading or hang in the middle of loading process?

both ...

first (150-250) they froze at about 70% loading... ("starting the game", "game started",  freeze...)

later (250+) they crashed exactly at the same point (windows message: "because of a problem ... you will be informed...[close program]")
