Crashing with Error on File Group.cpp Line 554

[marty]

Hi, I've been experiencing a showstopper with Capitalism Lab - after playing the game for a while, the game crashes with "Error on File: Group.cpp Line: 554" and I haven't found a way to work around it.
The error usually comes after I've controlled too many other companies for a while (a combination of AI and my own subsidiaries), and persists even if I break all of the ownership relationships by selling off shares between them and then save & reload that save to try & continue.

Attached is a savegame file about to experience this error.
My game version is: Version 3.4.17 Release

I would really appreciate it if you can suggest a workaround by looking at what that line of code is taking issues with - and of course a fix in a future release would be great. Thank you.

I have downloaded your save game file.

Do you have another save game with an earlier game date, like one month before? We would like to investigate what happened to certain game data before that time.

Sorry no. I'm thinking I've hit some sort of limit like an array size. Does the line of code give a hint about what kind of limit it is?

We have prepared a special version v3.5.16B for you which you may download from:

Thanks David, that appears to be an effective fix. I will keep at it and report back if I see the problem again.
