Crash on clicking "Fight"

I can edit ships and fleets, but when I click on the “Fight” button, the music keeps playing, but the screen turns black and hard locks (I have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE to close, I cannot alt-F4 or alt-tab). Same thing happens when I click “Online” from the title screen.

Nothing in errors.

Does the game crash on reload? Does the game display an error code?

Try this post first seems to be causing the majority of issues right now: viewtopic.php?p=12807#p12807

Yes, it crashed consistently. I had the 41 error on startup as well, so I had already fixed that.

I tried setting my clock forward and then backwards, and for some reason I can start it now. I never had a popup, and nothing showed up in the error box, so :confused:

I had this error as well, and the debug file was full of missing ship files. If I save the deployment file it doesn’t crash.
