Just tonight I got this crash report. I have never, ever, seen DWU crash like this. I was in the editor, changing planet names, then backed out of the editor when the crash report showed its ugly head. I lost all that hard work too.

Can someone tell me what this problem is?

Thanks in advance!

Well..missing access/path/location infos and rights but aside from the obvious i don't know more then you.

The only common problems are memory-crashes and crashes with changed/moded themes but that's a completly different case.

The only advice is to sent crash-notice to the support, maybe together with a save..if you have one but it's unlikly with the autosavelocation being part of the crash.
