Thanks but it really helps the devs to allocate investigation if you say when the error happens and how often/reliably - on game loading/start, randomly during play, when saving, etc.

Exit Code 56 generally indicates a failure to receive network data from a server and so please also say exactly how you access and play X4.

Were you directed to an Egosoft Exit Code page when the crash(es) happened? I suspect not as that Error Code isn't in the X4 Wiki table of Exit Codes.

All of your Windows Error Reports are issues with Game Assist or Galaxy Client which indicates that it is likely a network connection issue involving them rather than an issue in X4.

This particular exit code implies a missing or incorrect file:
- Perform a full file verification using the Steam or GOG client.
- Exclude your game folder from your antivirus scanner.
- Make sure you have no mods installed, particularly "accidentally" as a result of old Steam Workshop subscriptions.

Verifying it didn't help but reinstalling it a second time has it run as normal, so I have no clue what broke. Ah well. Thank you!
