Well, not immediately to desktop. I got the 'crash' dialog to save the game first. ;)

Do you have a savegame from before this happened?

By the looks of the crash log the crash occured when a news message about an already removed vehicle was shown. To figure what happened exactly we need to have an earlier savegame and information about which vehicles you removed. We could not find any problems by looking at the code.

The best way for us to reproduce this issue is by you reproducing the issue while writing down all steps that need to be done. Once we know the steps and have the initial savegame we can actually determine the cause of the crash and fix that.

Well, the crashed appeared to happen on the 16th so the last autosave would have been at the beginning of that month. I was converting an obscenely large road vehicle system to be more rail so I did a lot while paused.

I included the last autosave. The timestamps would indicate that about four realtime minutes passed since the save and the crash.

I do know that besides moving to rail that the newer vehicles that I had been autoreplacing to had larger capacities and were speedier so I was obviously experiencing traffic clogs at many raw resource terminals. I had to send many to depots and once things looked settled I would 'clear' the depot by selling them all back at once. I also was changing all the goods transportation to rail so I had the related shared route lists send each of them to stop at a depot once they delivered their cargo. I'd then 'clear' those depots.

I really don't know if I can replicate this error as I don't recall actually doing anything specific. I do remember that vehicle information was set to summary and I would get tons of 'vehicle waiting' messages along with even more 'vehicle x's profit was (negative)' messages. Those could last like 2-3 months into the game to pass. lol

I had also recently removed a road goods depot and 'combined' it with the new rail station by creating a new road depot next to the food factory linking it to the rail's and then updated the road vehicles' orders to drop the resources at the newly combined station. So there may have been some invalid destination messages in the queue. Being the size of the message queue at times, I couldn't even truly begin to fathom what the message could have been. :(

I'll load it up again and see if I can get it to crash again. :)

Guys, I loaded that autosave and it seems that there were virtually no queued messages waiting. I'm not sure if such messages are stored in a savegame, though. Anyway, I couldn't get it to crash on me again so I'm not sure what to do but play. :)

Sadly enough the news messages aren't stored in the savegame. There are ideas to store the news messages in crash savegames, but sadly enough that doesn't solve or help with the problem that you saw in your game.

At the moment we can't reproduce it, but hopefully/maybe someone can in the near future. Given the fact that not much changed in the area of news messages in the last year it's quite unlikely though.
