[1.0.2.2] Bug - game freeze during save (with old campaign) FIXED in 1.0.2.4

[Nalim27]

Hello,
something serious is wrong with 1.0.2.2 - game started, load last save (from version 1.0.2.1), I can play few minutes .... but when I try to save progress then game will freeze. Not crash but freeze.
None build did it before on mine PC.

Updated: It just happened once. I tried it second time and it was works. Strange.....
In event log there is just this:
DistantWorlds2.exe
1.0.2.2
2fc8
01d83d6cc0153246
11
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds 2\DistantWorlds2.exe
800c0b06-ee3a-4cf5-849c-f97d9c41cd1a

Updated2: I tried it one more time (load old save, play few minutes, try to save) ... and it froze again. Definitelly there is some new serious bug.
I tried Steam verification files - found no problem.
So Houston (Erik), we have problem.

I'm having the same issue - sessionlog doesn't show anything peculiar, nothing after loading of the game. The save I'm loading from is about 180MB in size, and created from 1.0.2.2, but STARTED on release day.

I need to reboot, attempt to launch the game at least once (and have it crash), before the game will load to the into screen after this occurs. All of those appear to say "ApiCode: [DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED/DeviceRemoved], Message: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action."

I'm seeing loads of crashes similar to other people report, on start, and on zoom-out in particular, but haven't gathered logs for those (yet).

Also crashes on save, every time, this is late game.

Save file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yQOw8a ... sp=sharing

Repro steps:
1. Unzip and load save game in game
2. Run the game at 4x speed for about 3 minutes (to finish the megapark research).
3. Save
Game hard locks at this point.

Based on yesterday's reports, we did find a few issues that could cause new hangs/freezes/crashes with 1.0.2.6. We've released a 1.0.2.7 Hotfix for those who are willing to try a manual update, otherwise these issues will be fixed in a normal update on Monday:

You can find the hotfix here:
