Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Game freezes up after continuing an existing save after the Curiousity patch -- seems to happen after about 5 minutes of play but seems to be triggered by rocket launch back to earth.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes - the game kept crashing after about five minutes of play. I rebooted several times to see what was triggering the crash - it seemed to be everytime I was launching a rocket back to earth - the game will freeze up.

Could you also attach the save in question? It may be helpful to look at it, this sounds really weird.

Save game... I tried this without launching a rocket and it still crashed @ day 72 - about 3-4 minutes into this saved game.

Deleting the rocket stops the freeze from happening and watching your drones leave then loop right back around and go back makes it seem like an issue with that rocket (not the underlying issue of course).

Deleting all colonists also stops the freeze.

Looks like it's either (from that save) the 7 and 11th colonists boarding the rocket.

Edit:
Added a fix to ECM github:
Fixes>Colonists Trying To Board Rocket Freezes Game: Doesn't fix the underlying cause, but it works.

You can at least get on with your game (the issue could come back though, but it's better than nothing till an update to the game).
