Very easy to reproduce. Just open the saved game and wait a minute or so.

Also why not have a "send error report" button? To report a bug I had to register and I can see myself doing it cause I did but there are probably thousands of crashes that go unreported cause of this obstacle.

Because 9 out of 10 times we need more information that just the crash report + crash dump + crash savegame because the crash is caused by something a number of days before actual the crash. With only one-way communication we would get a big heap of unresolvable bug reports because we have no clue what really caused it.
This way we can ask people for other earlier savegames or any clue on what they were doing at the moment. Also just the crash report + crash dump + crash savegame doesn't usually reproduce the issue in a way we can see what is going wrong.

So for actually getting bugs fixed having people to register is a (small) hurdle, but it makes the chance of getting the bug fixed so much more higher just because there is two way communication.

It seems to be caused by the AI calling an API incorrectly (though the API shouldn't allow that, it does)

okiedokes, glad it helped.

You can never have enough information though, even if half of it would be useless the other half wouldn't. Some errors might come up more than others and you could probably identify areas you need to work on a lot easier based on the statistics.

Maybe it could send the last few autosaves?

It was just a friendly recommendation

I respect your choice whatever it may be. Fantastic game guys!
