Default ModPack Bug?

Been playing the latest ModPack (without the minor tweak published on 1 May) on v1.35. Have not been able to finish a game. Played two games, with all the ModPack races activated. In each game between turns 200-300, I get an access violation error in SE4.exe at memory location FFFFFFF. Each time it's the Norwak, each time they are trying to move a LC/C/BC class vessel to close a warp point. The blue course line appears, but the error hits as soon as the ship attempts to move to the point. Needless to say, I can't finish these games. Has anyone else had this on the Norwak, or any other ModPack races when they try to use Stellar Manipulation components?

Is the Mod Pac that you are using able to use 1.35? or is it only set to 1.30? this might be some of the prob (was for me)

Here is the save game (I hope it uploaded right), I've modded settings.txt for 254 systems and the default ship/unit max's to 5000. I was playing with the Sharlon shipset off of USY.

Motlee: Yes, this ModPack was made to work with 1.35.

Without knowing this for sure, it would seem to me that all "access violation" errors are bugs in SE4, not in mods. I have got a many of these errors in 1.35 without any mods. One was when I clicked the replay all button when there was nothing to replay.

I get the access volation when in tach combat and there is a large number of ships/fighters on one side and i decide to resolve combat. This forces me to always run the tach the full 30 turns even if I know that I am would win/lose and the result would be the same if I resolve combat. I have had this issue for 3 patchs (every since I got a 1.5g computer with winMe.) I have contact MM about it. Since I do not have the problem on my Win98 400m system.
