Check the crash.log file - it might have some helpful info on the crashes.jaruler wrote:started new game on delta mod and the problem with the delta game as on grid M4 there is a blue star and any attempt to view it crashes the game. i dont know if there is a certain race there or something else as cant explore it without crashing. i know it is this spot only so far and grid as i have made changes to movements and it does not crash if i avoid this star, but if i move nothing else and do nothing else in game and move a ship to it or across it then it crashes. tried several ways to verify this.
You can also use UE to open the saved game - then under Edit->Galaxy->Galactic Map check whether there's a race in the offending sector. Just click the cheat button to reveal the whole map then select the sector. It'll display the sectors info on one of the panels under the map.
You can also open stbof.res and run check integrity in UE. Warnings can be ignored, errors are more serious.
