Crash/hang when saving or loading

[Ash]

This might be related to or similar to issue #571.

Summary: game hangs or crashes when saving manually or loading a save file (manual or autosaved file).

Details: Build 54; Windows 7 OS; running on Steam; map Tuletum. Game was initially started from Main Menu: Load Map: Tuletum.

Wasn't able to repro the hang or crash more than a couple of times, but occurred in the following instances:

• Did manual save, used default save file name - savecity. Then saved over that 'savecity' file. Result: game crashed & exited itself; no error messages.

• Attempted to load an autosaved file from Main Menu. Result: game hangs, and then seems to crash, but throws a Runtime error (no specific details in dialogue box), and returned me to my desktop. I was able to resume gameplay by right-clicking the Runtime error dialogue box icon in Taskbar, and then double clicking on caesaria.exe. Gameplay resume.

• Similar type of hang occurred when saving over a different manual save, one I named 'savecity1'.

Not sure if this is version v.0.4 or v.0.5, so just picked the default one in drop-down field below. Sorry if that's the wrong version!

Attaching log file & crash dump.

Tried attaching stdout.txt, but webpage times out. File might be too large? Hopefully the crash dump file helps.

Attaching log file

That log file doesn't look like the same as what I had after the crashes, and is much smaller. I think when I launched the game again, it might have over-wrote the file. The other one had a lot more data in the log file as well. Sorry about that. I'll see if I can get the crash/hang again & attach the new file to this bug write-up, and zip if needed.

Got a crash again upon loading a save. Had just deleted 2 manual save game files, then loaded an auto-saved file --> game crashed. Above attachment is the crash dump. Next attachment is the log file.
