2. Bug description

Game crashes during save load phase. This game has been played from start on patchpreview version V 1.5.5 S5 GOLD-Public. When reverting to current stable version V 1.5.3 S5 GOLD-Public, the game loads fine.

3. Steps to reproduce

Load save "Nakalim more pop transfer.sav" on patchpreview version V 1.5.5 S5 GOLD-Public.

4. Reproducibility

5/5 - Consistent, happens every time with the described steps.

5. Expected behavior

Save loads without crash.

6. Version

Crash on patchpreview version V 1.5.5 S5 GOLD-Public.

No crash on current stable version V 1.5.3 S5 GOLD-Public.

7. Notes

Game was played as single player.

During the course of the game, research has stopped advancing & ships have stopped moving many times when advancing to the next turn. Advancing more turns resulted in no change. When this happened, I restarted the game and loaded a save from a turn / few turns before, when it still seemed to work.

There was no "output_log.txt located under Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2 in a folder named in the YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS format".

The save file "Before turn bug again.sav" is included as a gamestate which still loads on patchpreview version V 1.5.5 S5 GOLD-Public.
