Anyone else has experienced fatal error & crashes in this game or has any idea how I could fix that ? Day 136, Afternoon (15:17), no mater what I do, cancelling the few actions I can, changing graphics etc... the game crashes when I restore my save game which is Day 136, Afternoon (13:17). I can't play any further and I was about the finish the second city which is quite a lot of time I don't want to restart again at the risk of having another crash like this. The error seem to be related to : RepublicDLL.dll file.

Sounds like you found a bug.
Maybe try clearing out the actions for the day. See if you can get through the day without doing anything. Bugs are usually two or more conflictions that are happening at the same time so the game crashes. It could be hardware or something that the programmers didn't think that you would try. Keep experimenting, that's what I usually do to get around a bug.

Well I guess that in this case I'm quite screwed since I can't cancel anything more than what I've tried and I've no same games before that one, blame the absence of auto-saves and my too big confidence in this game stability since I hadn't any problems before. I guess it's time to restart the whole thing praying that I'll be able to avoid that by saving more often.
You could try contacting gog support about your error. Give them a dxdiag and if you can the actually error text word for word.

Yea, save right when the day begins or before it ends. Use another save slot to save your progress.
Like I tell my brother in law.....save save save save save save save save, he gets really pissed when he looses his progress.

Okay, thanks.
I'll download it right now and take a look when I get home from work tonight.

It looks like Hotmail blocks attachments. I sent you an e-mail with my main e-mail account. If you want to try again and send it there. I will definitely get it this time.

I tried with my Gmail account but it failed to send it to your second address. I've uploaded it on filefront : http://www.filefront.com/14239317/Save0.rar
Boy, that's a big save. Thanks for going through all that trouble. I'll get right on it.
Looks like firing Federov is the crash point. I think if the day was the crash point the game would crash before the day started. I tried dumping all programs out of memory with a program called Enditall but it didn't work either. I tried cancelling all tasks for the day but it looks like it's set in stone. Unless you can hex edit the save game. It doesn't look to good.
I'll check it out more and give you a verdict.
Update: Tried a savegame editor but it doesn't work. The game instantly crashes.
Update: There's just not enough time to prevent it from happening. I tried hex editing the mainobject.ros file but it looks like it's encrypted. My plan was to edit the time so it would give an extra minute or 2 to cancel the action or directly cancel the action through hex editing but I couldn't. I'm going to try one last thing.
Update: Sorry to say it but firing that Federov guy doomed your game. Looks like it's a bug. It could be a combination of dependants on that one character. Getting rid of him causes it all to collapse. Either don't hire him next time or keep him through the game. Never use one save slot for your entire game playing period. I learned that lesson the hard way playing System Shock 2. Imagine how pissed I was when I was almost done with the game and got a corrupt saved game.

All right, thank you very much for your efforts, I don't think there's much to be done so the problem is "solved". I've restarted with a more interesting difficulty. Maybe that's because Federov was in another faction (Red Mafia). Anyway, I now use all the save slots and save every 10 days.
