Default files to send in case of error ?

I have a game that crash all the times after a BIG battle (Gold 1.67).
I need to know the name of the files to send to MM / any beta tester to know if this work with latest beta or still need to be fixed.

The file you need to send is the game_name.gam file.

Send it to MM ([email protected]) in all cases.

If you want it checked out as well on the current beta you can send to me (email is my profile).

big battle must be the understatement of the year.
man, that battle is HUGE!! !!
the problem I am having is that my computer is too slow . I didn't even get to the end of battle to check if the error comes up, because it took over an hour even to simulate the first round (and still didn't finish). I had to abort that simulation. You must have a good system to play such a huge game .

not being much help here,
Rollo

If you put your view into an empty corner before you hit end turn, it goes much faster, since it doesn't draw the beam & bLast animations.

There is a line in settings.txt to create combat replay true or false. It's true by default. I wonder if the turns wouldn't generate much faster is this were set to false. Has anyone baselined this option to see if it makes a difference?

Oh dear lord! That is one heck of a battle. Are most of your ships smaller or like Dreads and Baseships?
