Default Re: need help - game froze

My games also can lock up during fllet creation when there are too many fleets and you start with a high fleet name. I have found that if it starts to happen you can remove other unneeded fleets and then you can create some where needed.

I have not tested or troubleshoot the exact cause, but it has to do with number of fleets. Possibly also the starting fleet name and using a saved Empire file that had fleets created before it was saved.

The only workaround that I know of is saving before fleet creation when you know you are close to the limit or have had it lock up before in that game. Once locked I have never been able to get it to recover.
