HEY RADICAL LARRY HOW ABOUT A HAIRCUT

****MIC TO THE WILLY***
I love SC4 [rebought it on Steam ages ago] but It literally is a crashaholic. Short of being an anal saver or using that 3rd party auto saving program, have there been any advances on that front? Either some crazy fix or some obscure notepad fix?

I always love the idea of getting into the game but the crashing really breaks it for me.

I Pop my head in this tag read every 500 posts are so to see if there's any rumblings of a patch for the crashing.

After hearing that the Mac version is pretty stable I have been waiting eagerly for news.

I doubt we'll get a stability patch/update which is a shame because I love this game but the rampant crashing is annoying. I regularly save but the crashes ALWAYS catch me after an important zoning / game progress

I'm on Mac with about 3000 files in my plugin folder and only get CTDs when I go crazy planting trees in godmode and accidentally go over the edge of the map ( which I suspect is from the tree controller plugin)

Other than that, it never crashes and I never have to worry about saving every five minutes. If you haven't bought it on Mac already, I would definitely wait for a steam sale and get it from there since it is looking like that version is more stable.

Edit: if you're waiting for a Windows patch, I think you'd be better off using the auto saver addon instead :/

I tried that auto-saver thing but it never worked for me for some reason
