Hi,
My savefile is corrupted and I don't know of it's fault of Transcendence or my computer (I've beaten game twice on it and there was no problems, but today game hanged up three or four times...).

When I try to load a game, Transcendence stops to respond (but still I can kill it via CTR+ALT+DEL combo - in further crashes whole system was hanged up). Debug file contains nothing.

http://www.mediafire.com/?m6yw8t32hmqs4hh - this is a savegame file (~6,5 MB - it happened in Heretic system)
Sorry for my poor english :-(
Last cause of death: arena opponent + crappy Cyclotron shield generator (I was insured).

Thanks for the report!

You're right that the file is corrupted, but I can't figure out how it happened. I'm going to add extra code to see if I can figure out it. Unfortunately, I don't think the file can be fixed--it looks like there was a problem writing out the system.

I'm curious George, how much 'debugging' code do you leave in the downloadable game? It sounds like very little.
My first mod, mostly done, still balance testing.
