For some reason, my game freezes every time I try to send out my frigates on an expedition. Is there some way to get that to stop happening?

Same problem in my game. Have almost given up trying this as it is wasting too much time.

Working with v2

This was a bug from nearly a year ago. No fix published but the work around that I found was to try facing the character from a different direction. It didn't always work but the bug seems to be whatever is showing in the window of the bridge area. Some snippets that I posted back then:



Once in a while just moving the freighter to a different area in the same system may fix this but so far have not found that to be consistent.

After sending out a mission I then go back to my ship and force a save. I can then go back to assign the next mission and this seems to avoid the problem with assigning missions consecutively.

Instead of walking directly up to the mission overlord I instead walk around so that I am approaching from his/her/its left.

I had two consecutive instances of the game ceasing to respond and without doing anything else tried approaching from the other side and the game kept running.

A bit later I went back into the game and was able to launch three missions back-to-back-to-back a few hours ago without the game ceasing to respond.

Never seen this bug, which version did you use to start your save (i.e. before any possible installed updates)?

Usually I see such a post in the Steam forum and not with the GOG version.
If your GPU is at the lower limit and with 2GB VRAM only there is the possibility you get crashes with the frigate menus, and other problems too, but no GOG players have reported this since NEXT release...

Are you sure you are not playing a Steam version?
