And just for clarification, this happened when going from one room to another.

 Reloaded the world, seemed to reload just fine. No corruption like that other crash.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean like the other AVWW crash. Never had a corruption issue in any of my AI war crashes.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. How long had you been playing for when this happened?

Hmm, about 30 minutes to an hour. Don't remember for sure.

Thanks!

* Previously it was still possible for the mono garbage collector to suicide itself during save operations if it had to resize a large buffer and the transient memory happened to be too low at the time.
** At core, this is a bug in the way that unity 3d handles lack of heap space, and it's something that we've had to work around with all our games during memory-intensive operations (rather than just garbage collecting automatically any choosing to get on its day -- which it could easily do -- the engine instead throws a fatal error and dies if you use more than 800MB of heap space).
** Preventative code has now been put in place to prevent these sorts of errors during buffer resizings, basically forcing a GC collection if there is more than 500MB of heap currently in use just to be on the safe side.
