[BUG] - Increased crashes to desktop in MP on 1.1 - stable on previous versions

Tracking post for what I submitted to support@stardock.com

See attached for needed log information.

Issue - Since 1.1 went live, I have had an increased number of crashes. My drivers have not changed, same version of everything. The only new variable is Demigod 1.1. The details I attached are from the last crash. The last line in demigod.log = info: Error decompressing data from Rahab7:61599: CDeflateOutputFilter::BufWrite(): call to deflate() failed. I don't see any rhyme or reason... both crashes have occurred after some time playing. Might be linked to people conceding, but I'm not 100% sure. In the last game it was at a point when someone on my team (3 human v 3 human) may have chosen concede or dropped from the game. Here are the stats from that game... I think it's curious that both I and another player had 0 favor recorded.

Player	Team	Entity	Favor Points	Result
a_Tick	Forces of Light	Lord Erebus	150	Won
MiniTick	Forces of Light	Regulus	145	Won
zolot83	Forces of Light	Unclean Beast	90	Won
ironshadows666	Forces of Darkness	Unclean Beast	40	Lost
pacov	Forces of Darkness	Rook	0	Lost
memoryd-_-	Forces of Darkness	Torch Bearer	0	Lost

I was running into massive crashes, and it turned out that some of the game's data was corrupted

I tried the impulse repair tool but it didn't help, uninstalling and reinstalling the game fixed the problem

Interesting. I've played several successful games since, but I'll give a fresh install a shot if crashes come back with a vengeance. Thanks for sharing your experience.

In case anyone stumbles across this thread, I've read several other posts that had similar issues, along with their solutions - if there were any.

1. Delete your Game.prefs file which is located in \My Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod.

2. Uninstall/ReInstall the game

They added a feature that allows a demigod to select skills and/or buy items after they die. This new feature, sadly, crashes the game, and may account for your random crashes.
