On which map(s) does this error occur, and about how far into the game?

(Also in the future, please keep your ticket's milestone set to Backlog).

[Philip Taylor]

Does this happen every time you try saving?

If you can reproduce the problem, can you install and run ​DebugView before launching the game, and then post its output after the game has triggered the error?

(crashlog.dmp is

pyrogenesis.exe!std::_Tree<std::_Tmap_traits<JSObject *,unsigned int,std::less<JSObject *>,ProxyAllocator<std::pair<JSObject * const,unsigned int>,Allocators::Arena<Allocators::Storage_Fixed<Allocator_Aligned<16> > > >,0> >::_Buynode()  Line 1390 + 0x8 bytes	C++

pyrogenesis.exe!`anonymous namespace'::SaveGame(void * cbdata)  Line 243 + 0x36 bytes	C++

which is just a consequence of the initial allocation failing. (Might be nice to handle that failure more gracefully.))

Closing this because it needs more information, and no one else seems to be getting this issue.

@IrinaB If the issue still happens, please reopen this ticket and provide Philip with the information he needs.
