Hi,

I've had this error with two clean starts (no mods) and once there is a crash, it crashes again around the same time after reloading a save.

Wow - that's nice (this way the DEVs won't have to ask for a save )

(Don't take this too serious, please - I'm only answering this thread, because the forum would otherwise not change colors of the thread-icon... )

Same crash. Unavoidable and game ending once it has occurred. This crash seems related to Energy to Fuel converters and stock level interaction somehow. I had just upgraded starbases to use this component. For the record, I'd be fine with making Starbases not ABLE use reactors at all (only energy collectors). E2F collectors could be removed completely from the game at that point, keeping fuel relevant.

Further info follows:

--- COMPLETE ---

Tried going back to an earlier autosave and manually designing without ever using an Energy to Fuel converter before the research completed.

Game still crashed at about the same timestamp of played time.

Same error "determine stock levels".

Same here. Already had 4 games with the same "DetermineStockLevels" error.
As soon as this error appears, the game is more or less over and I have to start a new one.

Yes, it's a major game-breaking bug - you can see/read it everywhere now.

So, maybe a Hotfix wouldn't be bad if there aren't any new updates this week ? (hint at DEVs )

This should be fixed in today's 1.1.0.6 public beta update.
