Issue:

Playing with a Nx-tech (say 9x tech or 256x tech) mod causes CTD, save-game corruption, replay corruption

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Issue is triggered independent of if the 4K mod is installed, but you have to use an Nx-tech mod
  2. Start a new game using either the 9x tech mod, or the 256x tech mod
  3. Play. Sometimes crashes happen rapidly (especially if multiple copies of the same tech are queued up), sometimes it takes half an hour or more.
