CA have said that they are fixing this in the next patch, but to fix these problems NOW all you have to do is move a sloop or brig into the offending fleet. This fixed all my old late-game saves where my first rates were crashing the game.

Hope the info helps.
Thank you very muchly GFX, that is indeed certainly true, however I have found that having fixed the fleet, one turn, the next turn it is russian roulette for me as to whether it decides it wants to work again, also clicking on certain ports at the late game stage has just crashed the game, I don't know if that has been fixed, but I am going to try a game after the next patch, and see what happens.

I don't know if it was a wise man but my mum certainly said if you don't have something nice to say about someone then don't say it, on a philosophical point and a tangent to the threat, I would have to say that a wise man wouldn't have said that, he would have just listened ;)

at any rate, there is only one cause of this broken record, and that is CA seem to keep skipping on the same part of the record, which causes the now familiar scratchings of disappointed people! all they need to do is to change the record ;)
