The game is frequently crashing in the most recent version 2.1.19 on pc/steam. Up until 2.1.19 I have been playing the experimental versions without issue. It will run for a while but then crash to the desktop. Reloading the last save usually results in the same crash but going back 10 or 15 minutes to an old save sometimes avoids a crash. The crashes are unrelated to any interface activity, ie the game can be just sitting running without any intervention and experience this crash. This has occurred at least a dozen times today and has occurred on two different laptops, both crashing at about the same point. I have updated graphics drivers (nvidia) in both without any effect

Post a save and exact steps to make it crash please, see 3638.

here is the latest pre-crash save plus the new dmp and log files.

you do not have to do anything at all for the crash. Just restore the backup and wait a bit.

if that is too close to the crash here is the autosave just before that save. I do not think you need to do anything to make it crash, just let it run

Thank you for the report and for providing the save file. I was able to reproduce the issue and fix it for 2.1.20.
