I was playing a modded game (Space Exploration), and went to save from the menu. Instead, it crashed.
I've attached the log, the .tmp file, and the most recent autosave
EDIT: the autosave did not upload, likely because it's ~200 MB. I've made a local backup.
I loaded the save and took the same actions (as well as I can remember), but it did not crash again.

Re: [1.1.74] Crash to desktop when saving
Just had a second crash to desktop. This one was on a different game with the same mods, and it was triggered by an autosave instead of a manual save.
I've uploaded the logs and .tmp file again, and archived (but not uploaded, because they're 140 MB) a copy of the most recent savefiles for that game.

Re: [1.1.74] Crash to desktop when saving
Thanks for the report. Based off where it is crashing it is extremely likely your system is unstable. Possibly a bad CPU or RAM overclock, or bad hardware such as RAM.
Have you had any other crashes on this computer in other pieces of software? Are you currently overclocking your RAM or CPU? I would also try running this https://www.memtest.org/

It's probably bad ram.
I ran the memtest as you suggested, and it found a few errors (It's not overclocked, aftermarket, or otherwise suspicious. As far as I can tell it just happened.). It also isn't common: there were around 1-2 crashes per year before the two in the last two weeks. Thanks for pointing me in that direction, I'll have to do something about it before a more serious error occurs.
