Am I the only one getting frequent crashes in career mode?

Seems to happen frustratingly during flashpoints, and often when I select salvage. I've already filed a crash report but this has happened today and yesterday. Today it was so bad I had to. Manually switch of the PC. Please take a look at it, I really want to enjoy this work of art you are creating.

Same here. Game crashes randomly after salvage selection, while loading for the Argo or the next mission screen. Invalid memory access.... Wasn't so bad at the start of the career, as the missions were easy, but yesterday it crashed after a rather difficult (and rather successfull) Flashpoint mission :(

yup, happens all the time to me as well.. submitted many crash reports so far.. Makes me kinda wonder why game cannot have a last turn save, so you dont have to replay the whole mission when crash happens...

I have had a couple of crashes after salvage. I noticed they occurred when I had other things running on my PC. I think this bug is mostly a hardware issue. I'm not sure what else the devs could do besides general optimization improvements.

Since I started making sure that I have nothing else running in the background I haven't had a crash after salvage.

Yes, the devs are aware of this. I am sure they are looking at places they can improve the game and I hope this loadpoint is a priority.

I've had only a couple crashes, in 1.3. Annoying, but not to the point of making me angry(yet). I do agree though that it would be nice if the auto save kicked in as soon as I was back on the agro.

What is weird is that I'm now getting the bug where the pilots report negative damage after successfully hitting a building. Never had that one before the expac.

I think that one showed up in 1.2. The inconsistency is surprisingly annoying.

This is most probably not a hardware issue. The error messages I get and the ones I've seen from others indicate illegal memory access. I can't tell if it's HBS's code or a bug in Unity or some graphics driver or the like. In any case, it's HBS's responsibility to fix the problem or find a workaround. Not that it's going to be easy, I guess. But I would be happy if they simply put in more autosaves during the mission, or did save the game prior to loading the Argo scene.

Having more free RAM might alleviate the effects, by eliminating a trigger or simply by decreasing the chances due to different memory layout, but that's not the core problem.

I just started up again, making sure that there were no active programs using up my ram did a mission no problem did my supposedly last of the evening,went well damage, finish mission.... "Ooops! There has been a crash.. Etc" there's something not right here. I only have 250 days left yet on my first career....its crashing once a day the further I get into the career. But this is making it a heck of a lot longer. Thanks for the heads up anyway.
