I am trying to find some stats on the Crashing to Desktop Issue. Could you please ensure 1.2patch is installed before voting. Thanx.
Feel free to post CTD problems in this tread, but please keep it to CTD issues only.
Cheers all

You are right, with the never experienced a CDT in 1.2 poll question, so what i did was ask people to have 1.2 patch installed and then add to the poll, so we get a better piccie of those still getting CDT's after patch 1.2
I had 14 original poll questions LOL, but unfortunately the website didnt like it and told me to reduce the list somewhat
The poll script will only allow you so many questions for a poll, I wanted to add more about CTDs but the website wouldnt allow it, so I stuck to what I thought may be the main one's,You forgot the "Never experienced a CTD in 1.2" option, given that your poll is explicitly about CTDs in that patch. The only CTD I ever got was once when saving at a station in 1.1--never had a problem before or since.

Had my first CTD's since the 1.2 patch last night. In Family Njy i got my Disco between Split caps and an XN-dying horribly. CTD upon loading save from Trading station. Tried the same save point about 3 times, and once it crashed while starting X. I had saved over an old 1.1 (I didn't start X until after the 1.1 patch was released). Had about 5 slots with 1.1 slots overwritten-no problems before.
I reloaded from a previous save in the eguip dock a couple of minutes sooner and no problem. Left the game saving to a new slot. Maybe that one save point was corrupt, but it shouldn't corrupt saving over a 1.1. Only thing I can't explain is the one crash upon merely restarting X.
This morn ran a disc check to fix any lost clusters, should be fine now.

Autosave
Yup, when i first got this game, I read all the horrors of the autosave crash LOL, so I switched it off from the word go, and never had a CTD untill i had patch 1.2, and that was a manual save, it blobbed to desktop.
Im luchy in that i save very often, so no harm done....But, it did happen, and it will probably happen again.
The poll looks like its showing intermittent not very often crashes as the biggest problem so far (early days yet)
Im a bit cheesed that i didnt add pjknibbs poll question to make it more scientific, and I should have left out the last poll question.
Too late now though Damn it

Well, the first two options can be interchanged really. When docking the system autosaves and the CTD is the same as when manually saving. It's just that one is automatic, but it's the same bug. CTD, then the save is corrupt and won't load again. Saving over the slot works and the problem goes away. (for a while)
It would have been interesting to note how many game hours have been played and how many gates passed through to give some indication of how many saves before problem occurs.
I have been playing for 5days, 9 hours, 29 minutes. and visited 67 sectors passing 367 jump gates. Used goner insurance once. But had 2 CTD when manually saving and 1 CTD autosaving.

Thats very true
Yessssss
Of course, I hadnt thought about that before, BUT its obvious now, as soon as you dock, if autosave is on, crash, and your right, probably is the same bug as manual saving.
4% have now reported CTD when screen busy mmmmm, my screen was very busy, when i went to save manualy at a station, wonder if its related ?.

I noticed practically all my saves are fragmented when I view a defrag report, (has been noted elsewhere) but I don't want to set up a partition just for X2, and I only have one drive, (but it's a good one.
Is it a possible contributor to some saves getting corrupted? Hopefully Ego will look at this-in the meantime use the rule: Save often-defrag at least weekly.

Anyting is possible
Anything is possible when its crashing to desktop. I think I'l have a look at my drive, see if i can see anything untowards
How about CTD when LOADING a saved game?
I'd played for quite a long time. Then I got 1.2 and the trading mk3 thing. First save out of the gate was an autosave and a manual save (I did both) Both autosave and manual save boot me to desktop when I try to load them.
Maybe I should uninstall the trading mk3? Or go back to version 1.1? Had no troubles with CTD with 1.1. Ever.

same here
I was the same, my first CDT was after patch 1.2 and trading extension, but I have now been saving frequently and manually in different save slots just incase. however so far, i havent had another CDT.
Maybe i shouldnt have written that, it will be the kiss of death next time I save LOL

Thats interesting
Thats interesting, I have an ATI chipped card, wonder how many others who have crahed have ATI graphics
Thats very interesting
It would be good, if when you post in this thread to say what video card your using, it may or may not be relevant, but the more information the better. has anyone had a cdt with a nvidia card, thats a good question.
