I seem to get this error all the time after loading my savegame for a while.
I have no idea what it is, but it's kindof sad, since I can't continue my game as the error pops up at a certain time in-game.
A picture is added. The game version is Distant Worlds: Legends 1.7.0.6
I can upload the savegame somewhere if necessary.

Just downloaded the 1.7.0.7 beta version and loaded the savegame. Which resulted in the same error.

You should ftp upload the offending save game file.

Savegame has been uploaded to the server under the name of "Strange crash bartomanboy December 29 (1.7.0.6 & 1.7.0.7).dwg"

P.S. The crashdump

Just had the same error after playing a long time... In a newly started game. The savegame and error details can be posted, just send me a message.

I'm getting the same crash in all of my games. Seems to happen whenever an ai empire goes down at the hands of another ai empire.

This sucks.

You know what, I'm happy. Because I'm not the only one... lol
Soso, it's time to fix this, guys.

Getting the error myself. Dunno what more to do personally.
This is a critical issue, as it renders the game completely unplayable...
Hope they come up with a fix soon. These GxHab crashes are beyond old at this point.

Thanks for the report and savegame. This is fixed in the upcoming 1.7.0.9 update
