Repeated crashes after ending turn

Seems like after the latest patch, the game repeatedly crashes after I end my turn, usually when I'm closing in on Berlin

I've tried to attach the CTGW log but get the message "the extension log is not allowed."

Please zip the log file and attach it.

I'm using CTGW from Steam, Windows Vista. Not sure where I'm supposed to unpack the zipped file. The posting reads "game installation directory," and I added it to Computer/Documents/my games/Commander.. but it didn't ask me to load the two lua files.

It will depend where's your Steam games library. IF you haven't changed your Steam library location, the game main location is on:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Commander The Great War

Found it, and Steam installed the new files. However, the saved game that crashed still crashes when I open it and end turn. Will this fix only work for new games? The ctgw log for the saved game still shows the same error message.

So you started your game with patch 1.5 and you now it crashes after update to 1.6, correct?
Could you please attach a savegame?

Sure, I've attached saved game. Also, these games were started with the 1.6 update, that's when all the trouble began.

...sorry, I attached the wrong saved game, but it looks like I've lost the ones I'd been running that had the problem. Let me start a new game and if it happens again, I'll post to the forum.

No problem. Sorry to hear about your problems.

Hi all,
Okay, it crashed again after turn 21 or so. As usual, it crashed when AI went to "navel maneuvers." I've attached saved game. Hope this is solvable!
