Delete your Event files from the saved game and that should take care of it for now.

Do you mean the file named "Anomolies.galaxy"?
Galactic Civilizations III

No, I mean the files named Event.civ0 through Event.civ5

Cari,

I deleted Event.civ0 through Event.civ5 in the subdirectory "test" which is, I believe the directory
used for the Save and Load functions. Right? It still blows up. Here is the latest SE data:

This seems to be fixed on the 2/25 build. I notice that the Events.civ0-5 files are no longer being created.

Thanks,
Jack

Heh...Alex is Greek...he just can't read Geek...

They should only be created if there are events to save...if it's not ever creating the files even when you have events showing in the windows, let me know.

I now have a file named Events.civ0. It took a while to appear, although I had gotten a lot of the
"bank error in .." and "asteroid with minerals" messages. I have yet to see any others.

Cheers,
Jack
