Plattform: Steam

Description:

I was playing Endless Space 2 and it works perfectly fine, but after i received a 2,2 MB update for the game, i want to play singleplayer-mode with the newest DLC and free content, ( so i deleted every save-file) and just start a fresh new singleplayer-session. But everytime, when i am in loading screen, and selected more than seven factions, the loading bar does not continue after "connecting to server" and "load title graphic". Reinstalling the Endless Space 2 and Steam-"Check game files for errors" do not solve the Problem. At the time before update, i could play a session with max factions without Problem.

Steps to Reproduce: Start Endless Space 2, select new Game, start new game with eight factions or more, wait for the loading bar to reach ca. 60%, then it crashes/stops loading.

Reproducibility: 5/5

Expected Behavior: The loading screen reaches 100% and a new game begins.

Version: V1.5.48. S5 GOLD-Public

Notes: I play the german version of the game, so this here ist all translated to english by myself.

Not sure, why it doesn't work on your end. I tested a minute ago on my end (12 player) without any issues. What is your chosen galaxy type and especially the seize of your choice? By the way, you missed to upload the "most interesting" files (if available) as described here:

* Diagnostic files (located by default under "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\Endless Space 2\Temporary Files" - for Mac users: "User/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Endless Space 2/Temporary Files") and select the correct file by looking at the name like "Diagnostics - 2016'10'11 @1407'46''" that gives you the date and hour which should correspond to a save file)

* Output logs (one output_log.txt located under Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2 in a folder named in the YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS format created in case of crash and one in the EndlessSpace2_Data folder - for Mac users User/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log ) 

* DxDiag (PC only): Attach a DxDiag report. This is only relevant if your bug has to do with crashing, artefacts or something. If it's only affecting gameplay, a DXDiag isn't necessary.

* Apple System Profiler (Mac only): Copy and paste the content of the Apple System Profiler report (do not attach the report file directly, we can't use it!)

Anyway, if you like to get "realtime support", you could add me in Steam (name: "Groo the one" - deutschsprachig).
