I got also an game crash while loading a savegame. Just before the game was crashed after a manual battle. I tried to load an older game 2 or 3 turns before and it works also until this fight. When i dont start the battle they will do it soner or later and the game crashes also.



Is there a solution for this?



(sorry for my english)

I've encountered this in late-game saves as well. Loading will take a long time then, after a bit, the music will get really loud as if the game is ignoring the Windows volume limit. About 20 seconds later the sound will stop and, after 5 more seconds, the game will crash.



I've been able to work around this by loading an early-game save, then loading the late game save. Endless Space seems to have an easier time loading large, late-game saves when a galaxy is already up and running. The load still takes a long time but eventually works.



This is hardly an ideal (or permanent) workaround, but it can get you back in your game, if it works for you.
