Title says it all, autofitting the Aurora ship crashes my game. I have no idea why this is happening. I was on 0.95.1a-RC6 and upgraded to 0.96.1a-RC10 after finishing the Galatia Academy questline.
I haven't found any other ship which causes the game to crash when autofitting. I've tried stripping first then autofitting, leaving the ship in storage and taking it back, nothing seems to work. Manually refitting the ship does work fine however.

Below is the last few lines of the log file. Vanilla install, never modded.

Hi - my apologies, saves from the previous release are not compatible with 0.96 and that's what's causing the issue. This is pretty much always the case between major releases, but in this case the older saves actually load (due to an oversight my part), which makes it confusing.

[Deez]

I understand, thank you for the answer.
It's a shame, I completed most of the questline yesterday right before realizing that there was a new update

[Alex]

Thank you for understanding!

I think this is genuinely the first time this has come up - Previous versions have had enough "behind the scenes" changes that saves won't even load, so you're forced to start a new game anyway.

I guess this is a suggestion tying into this - but I guess that save files include details of the versions they're saved in? If such it may be wise to add a check on loading if the save is in the same main release of the game client running it or not, and if it isn't, abort loading.

Yep, I just forgot to do that, and the version info in the saves isn't detailed enough that I could easily do it in a hotfix without also making it not load earlier 0.96a saves!
