If you experience a crash while loading a save, please post here with the following information (to the best of your ability):

Date campaign started:
Submods used if any:
Faction:
Map:
Galactic Week:

Also include a download link to the save files if possible, they can be found in:
C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Petroglyph\Empire At War - Forces of Corruption\Save

Always make sure you are using the same submods or files from start to finish. Modifying files or switching submods in an ongoing campaign *will* cause issues.

The issues seem to impact a small portion of games, which makes it difficult to disgnose since it's not especially replicable for us. Save files will allow us to try and load the file in the debug build of the game and hope it tells us something useful. Unfortunately since changed files make save issues almost guaranteed to happen, it makes it quite difficult for us to actually deploy fixes and know if they work (since any fix for any existing problem would, ironically, cause most existing saves to fail).
