It's been working just fine for me, the only time I've ever experienced minidumps were when I playing with the Distant Stars mod (which is in alpha, hence the crashy shenanigans).

I've played from 1v1 to massive 10 player ffa on the random huge maps with multiple solar systems.

I have had an incredible amount of minidumps since the last update. I really hope they will be addressed in the next update...

I don't have any "mods" and I'm crashing every game while playing solo 6 player map with the AI set to Hard.

Well I reload the last auto-save to play the closest point to where my game crashes. Doesn't do much good though because it just crashes again at or around the same point again, and again, and again....

I got a response a while back from them about it, a fix will be in the next patch at the end of the month, the only way i could avoid a mini dump and keep playing was to turn my graphics down to about medium, and that bought me some time. I also changed tactics after reloading, i noticed when there was alot of action going on in my gravity wells when it would minidump, so i just gave orders to my units from the zoomed out camera position.

it sucks but if you have a good game going and dont want to lose it, try that till you get to the next autosave point and go back to playing like normal.
