I've crashed to desktop in my current game a couple times. It seems to happen right after another race contacts me.

Sorry for no SmartException report. I still can't get it to run. Yes, even after using the link Frogboy gave in the Get SmartException post. Any help getting it going would be appreciated. Beta 3D seems to crash on me more than the others.

Thanks

Grr. I know the cause of that. Star base images haven't been made for all races yet so when a minor race gets a constructor, bad things happen. We need to make sure that doesn't happen.

Okay, fixed. I'll probably put a build up on my work machine if you want to try it out.

Also forgot to run smart exception, however I know how to repeat it.

Goto foriegn relation, minor race speak to the minor race just before you decimate them.. leave the foreien relations tab on that rcae.. don't go back to it.. elimate them from the galaxy, then click on forien relation.. boom crash.. Its not checking if a minor race exsists before it trys to display there interface panel. I think..
