Just went back to 3.1.3; had enough.

3.1.4 was constantly crashing telling me that it was out of memory.(2GB on my machine; hahaha)
3.1.5 was no improvement to that problem, it just denied me to save a game. So I had no workaround for the other problem.

Otherwise 3.1.5 is a nice piece of work.

did u send bug reports?

No.
Sending a bug report on the 3.1.4 problem was not possible. The game crashed then I got the message towards the memory problem and an ok button to click on. No bug report was generated.
When the additional problem with the savegame crash occurred in 3.1.5  I first thought it was my new map. Later I just had enough and went back.

got it. there was a bug in the savegame code for the point defense weapon on the federation remore. thanks

annoying that such small mistakes break the whole savegame feature. not the first time savegames were broken with a patch.

What do you think? 

aye, will be fixed in the next patch, which we are working on at the moment (in other words: soon(tm) )
