[V7.22.3 - Geoscape] Ironman game freeze

[Odsh]

Hi,

EDIT: this isn't a crash after all, it's the game freezing for a very long time - with the "this program is not responding" Windows popup. In the end, the game resumed.

I'm playing in ironman and the game keeps crashing after the first mission.

I don't know if that's relevant, but I'm capturing the general as well as a standard enemy alive on that mission.

When I load the ironman save, I'm just before finishing the general (in melee). This save doesn't change, so maybe the game crashes when attempting the next autosave.

When the mission is over, I usually have one or two seconds before the crash.

Also worth noting is that my previous ironman game didn't have that issue.

output.log is empty.

When the crash happens? Does the game prompt you to generate a bug report when you relaunch the game? If so, can you please send us said bug report? If you click "Local Folder" on the right side of the screen in main menu, this will open the directory where there is a folder named "BugReports" this should contain a bunch of .zip files generated from the crash. Said .zip file will have "..unhandled_exception" in the name.
