[1459]4.10 CTD Often crashes while trying to save - Potential fix in a beta build after 4.20.

Hello.
4.10 (458643) English, Vanilla, The Young Gun.
Very often the game crashes while trying to save, whether it is a quicksave, autosave or manual save. It feels like saving has a 50/50 change to succeed and this behaviour does not depend on player in-game actions.
Crash dumps, dxdiag and vulcaninfo
save_001.zip

Game start was before 4.10 update, described behaviour have been manifesting since 4.10. I've read about a recent hotfix on Linux with a similar keywords, but I have Win10.
Maybe something to do with serializing in-game objects (just trying to sound smart)

Have you verified your game installation since 4.10?

I had a quick look at your DxDiag and it looks OK to me. The error reports at the end of it are almost all Windows Update failures and none are to do with X4 crashes.

The one thing that you haven't linked is a (working) save so that the devs can see the size of your game empire, mod state and number of in-game assets.

Sorry, here is a link to savegame: save_001.zip I use uncompressed saves.

Yes, I did verify installation using Steam, no errors were found

I'm wondering if the frequency with which it crashes depends on
- the last time you rebooted your computer ( does the first few times after a system reboot work, are the problems more severe if you had your computer running for a few hours)?
- how long you played the game ( does the first few times saving works, does the problem start when you play an hour?)
- does it also occur after (a few times saving) if you start a *new* game (instead of continuing your old savegame)?
- If you load the savegame you gave us, and instantly save (a few times), does it crash for you?

We've traced down the most likely cause.
An upcoming (beta)build will contain a fix (changelog will mention it).
