Bugs and crashes

from Stardock Forums
Unistalled GalCiv prior to installing Alpha 3B. Installed the game, played for a while and the game crashed for no apparent reason (nothing to see in debug.err). This has happend to me 3 times in a row today.

I've found the following things worth of notice:
1) Restore last Civilization doesn't work. The game hangs for a short while, then terminates.
2) Load Civilization doesn't work. Same as above.
3) Missing fonts:
-*DEBUG ERROR: *** Unable to locate font ArialLtBlueB10, FTDataManager::FindFont ***
-*DEBUG ERROR: *** Unable to locate font Arial10B, FTDataManager::FindFont ***
4) Code
+ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\pear\source\model2d.cpp at line 1777.
+ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\galciv\source\gamescr.cpp at line 2358.

Are you getting files saved in your SaveGame Directory?

Also, does it crash both when starting from a clean run or only when you try it from within a game?

I got a crash from within the game because I had forgotten to set the selected star to null, but starting from a fresh run shouldn't have that problem.

How do you set the selected star to "null"?

I had to do it in code, so it's nothing that you could do on your end. But as I said, it should have worked for a clean load, if there weren't other factors interering...

xsiv-iq, if you send me your save games I can see if they will run on my build.

I tried both from a clean load and from within a game. I am getting files saved in the SaveGame directory.
