Crash to Desktop, possibly related to reimagined escort design
Thanks to the recent update, my ACOT save was playable again, and I'm now in the year 2469.
Just now, I had several crashes again, always on the same date.

So my first instinct was to scour the galaxy with the observe command to see if there was any planet with an absurd number of armies again. But with the Contingency and the Prethoryn Scourge ravaging the galaxy, even the awakened empires are about the be destroyed, and what few planets remain often don't have any armies at all.

I did find a ground battle between the Ancient Custodians and a bunch of Clanck armies, and I observed the battle to see if it was the cause. Interestingly, it wasn't, but the crash didn't occur afterwards. Since I already knew that switching players causes my original empire to switch a bunch of policies around, I had a hunch that the crash was caused by something my empire did, and the first special project in my efforts to gain the Fallen Empire escort design would end with the right timing to explain the crash.

So I reloaded the save and aborted the project. The crash has not occured, so I'm very certain they are linked.

Interestingly, I had previously researched the FE defense platform design with no issues, so this may be a problem with escort design specifically.

EDIT: Well, now the crash happens later. Does the special project time out after some time? The way Sophia explained things, I'm under the impression that I can't just leave it alone forever once I have chosen to research the design.

Are you trying to research Stellarite while this is going on? I've observed hard game crashes like you're describing while I'm researching, and I found I could avoid the crashes by just not starting the research project from the Situation Tab. Which is irritating because I'd like to try out Stellarite tech :/

The crash seems to happen within two-three years of starting that research project, which would explain why the game always crashes on the "same date" In my case, this is happening while I'm not researching any of the SOPHIA ships patterns, so I don't think those projects are the issue.

I had ignored Stellarite for the most part, but I did recently aquire a level 10 physics scientist with the required traits, which the situation log said is what I need to find out more. So, not actively, but maybe passively?

EDIT: Just reloaded the save (had to re-enable ACOT since I have effectively abandoned this savefile) and removed the scientist from physics. No crash in two more years ingame. I guess that might be the real issue, but since this isn't a special project I actively triggered, the only workaround I see is not having a level 10 scientist in physics.

I'm having a crash to desktop exactly halfway through the Stellarite special project. It crashes like clockwork on Day 900 of 1800. I'm assuming, because of the timing, that there's an event that's supposed to occur but isn't firing correctly. I can get around this crash by going into Observe for that one day then switching back to my own empire.

There's a second crash at 1350 days in (again, right on the day) and this one crashes the game regardless of whether or not I'm in Observer mode.

Tikchi the Ratman is correct. I am running a session with a friend who is doing the Stellarite research project, always at a specific date, it would crash. We reverted to 2.7.2(Wells), where the failing of the Stellarite failed and it didn't crash. This same instance in 2.8.1, crashes the entire game.

Just a heads up. If you are researching the A'merigo Restoration and Stellarite power chain at the same time the game will crash to Desktop around day 900.

I think I'm running into this crash on Stellarite research too.

The "events" that are misfiring are the 50% and 75% progress scientist skill check. For some reason the game often craps itself when this occurs.
