While playing the ancients on galactic conquest, I have encountered a repetitive crash during my mission with convoy escort. No matter the outcome of the quest (success or failure) every time the map is about to end and switch back to galactic overwiev, the game crashes. Encountered this during 5 attempts in sequence.

Okay, so I did a quick test on the mission in the currently released open beta version and for me it worked just fine
A few questions:
- When being in the GC layer before the mission starts, do you get a constant amount of credits? Your income should increase by a few credits every second.
- When you encounter the crash this is after the mission is completely over, correct? Do you get the victorious/defeat screen? Or do you even return to the galactic view?
I get neither the victory nor defeat screen and I do not return to the galactic map. However, after waiting for an hour I tried to replay the mission and it worked correctly. The steady income you mention does occur. What is unexpected is the fact, that the steady income you mention goes on even while the game is paused. So I keep the game paused while in galactic overwiev and my amount of resources available still increases steadily.
Similar crash occured to me when I failed to liberate a planet to gain new bomber and fighter research (failing this quest, the city-ship did not spawn, nor did the lantean warship and the game crashed at the end of my first battle following failing the quest, thou this is probably caused by the usual instability).
Thank you for your detailed feedback. Glad to hear that at least the transport mission works for you now.
I have just double-checked the code: The spawn of the City Ship is not dependent on the outcome of the mission and also the Hippaforalkus will spawn either way.
Could it be possible that you have another mod installed that made changes to your game's main data folder? You could check by running the compatibility check of the launcher (see settings menu).
I have performed the compatibility check test, and except for "FOC data folder not clear" it was all okay. So maybe the other mods installed do are causing these problems.
If you're willing to go trough the trouble you could give it a try. If you do, make sure that you manually delete the vanilla game's main data folder manually in order to ensure that there will be no corrupting files left.
Frankly, I'm not sure what else you could try. We know that the PP GC is somewhat allergic to background processes so you could turn other programs off during play to minimize the number of crashes.
Another function indicator of this GC is the constant credit flow I mentioned before. If, at any point, you notice that you do not get them anymore this means that the script running in the background crashed. If you ever encounter that please report it right away, with an assumed reason if possible. But this should never result in a crash and doesn't seem to be the case for your current problem.
Unfortunately I dont have my installation disc for SW EAW FOC right now, when I get to it I will try it and see if the amount of crashes has changed any significantly.
