Crashes and Error Messages Fixed in Latest Update

Patch1.3
Quick Take6 changes

Planetbase 1.3 bundles seven sub-releases of crash and stability fixes. The biggest thread is save-file reliability: 1.3.4 closed a crash it introduced in 1.3.3, temp save files got unique names in 1.3.5 to stop sharing-violation crashes, and 1.3.6 finished the job by fixing the case where the game crashed if it couldn't write the save at all. Antivirus interference got a dedicated fix in 1.3.2b, where the game dropped log.txt writes and moved in-progress saves to a user-folder temp file so AV software stops blocking them.

  • Fixed: crash when the game couldn't write a save (1.3.4, 1.3.6).
  • Fixed: unique temp save names prevent sharing-violation crashes (1.3.5).
  • Fixed: log.txt and in-progress saves moved to user folder to avoid antivirus blocks (1.3.2b).
  • Fixed: crash downloading the Dawn of Man announcement image (1.3.1).
  • Fixed: broken challenges no longer crash the challenges screen (1.3.1).
  • Fixed: settings/profile load failures now show a useful error message instead of silently failing (1.3.3, 1.3.6).

1.3.6
