It is beyond my skills. In your main log, I see a lot of warnings, and then 4 critical errors. Something seems amiss with images or something, and then it crashes. I can't tell what the crash is about (it just says

1:11:13 PM [Critical ] TFactions.GetFactionByUID The faction of UID 0 was not found
1:11:13 PM [Critical ] TUnit.UnSerialize Exception caught: Violation d'accès à l'adresse 00895E81 dans le module 'CW2.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 0000001C

which is computer speak for something (but I know not what).

So is the game unplayable?

There is a faulty data in the USA order file, please delete and redo

So, I have to redo the Union move?

Hi Pocus & jim,

Thanks for your help! Would turning on turn compression help avoid these type of issues and also would it still work if the game has already started?

[Pocus]

Seems so, the Union move must be redone

Turn compression only helps if you intent of sending the file without compressing it yourself, otherwise it won't do anything relevant.

[bommerrang]

I think the question is...will compressing the file stop the corruption of the files? Can I compress the union move file and try it again rather than redoing the move?
The corrupted file has happened twice in the first 10 turns so unless the corrupted problem is not fixed the game is unplayable.

A potential corruption happens before the file is compressed. If it is corrupted, chances are it will simply zip the corrupted files.
