My problem is that for some reason my digital copy doesn't like the manual update and has a tendency to crash randomly. The crash can come after 10 min or after 3 hours, there is no rule (the only consistency is it crashes directly to desktop with no MS error messages and there is a 1kb autosave file left - so basicly the crash happens during the creation of autosave file). Also, as I find spies bugged (infinitive number of spies and all other stuff) I never use them in SR:CW so my crashes have nothing to do with problems BG already identified. :-?

You have two (2) alternating autosaves now so I don't see the need for more. If you crash, load the last autosave and save the game immediately on a regular save file to ensure you have a reserve just in case. :wink:

The autosave system creates alternating saves, there are two created already.

Was this issue ever cleared up fully? Or was it simply reduced by reducing save game size.. reason I ask is its apparently common for some people while using my modern world mod.. which having so much extra stuff is likely to have a much larger save file.

That is a crash when saving and the resulting file being 1kb. I haven't confirmed it personally but it seems to be a few people who frequent my forums have all ran into the issue.

See if you can get that savegame from the guy. We were never able to recreate the issue, so it's hard to say if it's gone. It's not crashing on my system but it never did.

I don't think savegame would do any good since I was never able to recreate the crash at the same point, it would happen again but not for some time...maybe it is time related (session duration under heavy strain from extra stuff in his mod HUH )? This might be completely idiotic remark since I don't know what actually happens technically during the autosave creation...

Well that guy was saying "within 5-6 days" which is a very tight window.

you're probably right, but send it anyway. Maybe we'll get lucky.
