I've no idea if anyone is still playing, but I've just been doing so once more. I tried to start a new migrated faction game, which necessitated a different expanded_bi.txt so the names were correct. But since I made that change, I couldn't process a new turn without a CTD. Every time, whether on the new game, or the old one. Same with a completely new game with no changes to it.
Then I tried restarting my computer, and it worked fine. Changed my files to go back to the newest game, restarted, working just fine again.
So if this will help anyone else tinkering with their game running Windows 7 (I'm assuming this is a Win7 thing, I never had this issue with XP), give it a go!
