Summary	02913: The Settlers crash
Description	Game crashes/freezes in level 2. When you are attacking the guard posts, the game either freesez or quits. I tried saving just before, but even though the save seems to be OK, after a crash and load of the savegame, the sae game is from further back. It happens on both WinUAE and real A1200. I own the original Settlers game, so I tried both pre-installed, and normal WHDLoad. Here is the save file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43970083/SettlerSave0

StingRay 2014-03-26 09:07 developer note ~03807	I can not reproduce this, can you give me a step by step description how to force this when playing the game after loading your saved game?

TroelsDk 2014-03-27 15:06 reporter note ~03811	Hi StingRay. I tried again and managed to save a few seconds before the crash. Here is the new save file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43970083/SettlerSave0 No matter what building I attack at this stage it crashes... I would just use the old slave but that one I can't save in..

StingRay 2014-03-27 20:14 developer note ~03812	Thanks for the new save game, hopefully I'll be able to reproduce this problem now. And the problems with the old slave are the reason why I updated it in the first place so reverting back to the old patch is not needed nor useful. Just be patient and wait for me to fix this problem. :)

TroelsDk 2014-03-30 00:47 reporter note ~03822	Hi StingRay. I managed to complete the level! I had to save after each victory to be safe. Sometimes it would freeze (the very second my knight walked to the flag of the conquered guard house) and sometimes it didn't. I'd say roughly 15 times it froze. Just a little extra info :)

TroelsDk 2014-12-21 11:34 reporter note ~04138	Any chance for a fix? :)
