Game frequently crashes when playing skirmish games. I uploaded an custom AI, custom map, xml system spec file generated with specy (on google drive) and attached a savegame.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

  • 25% of the time / matches I play (SOMETIMES)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Map: $Middle-East
AI: Savage_51737 @Moderate difficulty - x8
Settings: Standard 200 pop random game, teams together, teams locked, fixed positions
Played on fast (2.0 speed)

I attached a google drive link to the AI that MAY cause the issues and the map (i made them both myself)

The savegame crashes a few seconds after i starts. Starts at 36:14 and imediately crashes.
