Game crashes upon Crisis Event > Contact screen with Unbidden/Scourge/Contingency

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.

Whenever the Unbidden event triggers and the empire contact screen comes up where the Unbidden greeting dialogue appears, the game crashes to desktop. This crash is replicated on separate campaigns at the same moment. If I ignore the comms and continue playing with the window open, the game continues without problems. There was a time where clicking on Unbidden fleet in combat also crashes to desktop. I suspected that it was in conflict with mods, so I've un/reinstalled them all. I've also verified the game cache, backed up my saves and custom empires on the user document folder, and finally un/reinstalled the base game.

*edit - triggered events for scourge, contingency, vehement etc. Hitting their empire communication screen crashes the game to desktop also

Game still crashes after 3.03.

I'm afraid we cannot help with modded games here. Do you see anything like this in a galaxy that's never been modded?

If not, you might try posting a save that shows the problem in the User Mods forum here.

I've managed to isolate the bugged mod and solved this issue. Thanks

Could name the mod? A friend and I have the exact same problem. Maybe it's the same mod that causes the problem.

Can you list the mods both of you are using?

I was so happy that the problem was solved that I forgot to make a note of it. What I do remember is that it's a mod I never expected to be where the problem was.

I think it's improved space battles. It's weird because the nature of the bug didn't seem connected to the mod. Disable it and see if your problem goes away.

Sorry to necro, but I had this exact issue and ISB was indeed the cause. No idea why either, but I guess the best course of action is to enable it through a normal game and disable it when the crisis hits, reenable it afterwards.
