Karsten,

Please try the public beta update, which fixes all the crashes we could find so far and adds a quick save. An auto save is coming in a future update.

Regards,

Yes alt-s for quick save. Nice and handy. Just wish the saves were quicker to do, but still only 5-10 seconds to do. Guess we are getting spoiled with everything faster and sooner [:'(]

1.0.2 Improved Stability but i had 2 more crashes so far.
Basically that's OK for me in he early stages of a development. Still i like the auto-save like War In the Pacific does it. So you don't have to worry in the heat of the action to save.
