Thanks for the report - do you possibly have a save game for this that you can compress and post, or post elsewhere and link to here? It would help us to track down what may be occurring.

Hello, 

see the attached 7zip. 
That is the direct copy of the file found in \Save.
If you need more info, do write it.

I am not able to reproduce your freeze on my end. Just to make sure, this is a repeatable issue on your end?

Hello, 

Yes it was repeatable every time the same time. After the pop up.
The game froze and I had to close it via Windows.
I tried to change the time compression, speed (only normal or lower) and even retire my fleet to the south to avoid the TBs, but when the soviet planes found the CA formation and the pop up appeared the same thing happened.
No mods, no altered game files until today (see below). Genuine Win10 (latest edition) and the game runs in a good PC (ryzen 2700X, RTX2080, 32GRAM, nvme SSD).

I cannot reproduce it anymore because I edited the files: autosave.bcs & RTWGame2.bcs files (scenarioinprogress=-1) to overcome the problem.
After I skipped the battle (even a second time that was offered), the game runs perfect. Played another 60+min in the same campaign.

Im having the same issue quite consistently. The only way ive found around it is to save every turn and then replay the bugged turn several times until it eventually manages to get past.

Thanks for the save game holoween - Ive re-compressed your savefile to save some attachment space:

I can confirm - this just happened to me, too. Happened twice while recording a lets-play episode. Once when enemy planes approached my CV division and once when my planes approached the enemy CA division. I loaded autosave the first time and the enemy strike disappeared off the face of the earth. Loaded autosave again the second time and the strike went off without a hitch. No hits, but no crash either. Unfortunately I didn't get a clean copy of the savegame folder, but I can post the video with timestamps, if that'll help. I'll also keep an eye open and try to copy my savegame folder the next time it happens.

kotori87 If it happens again and you get a save game please feel free to post it, every additional data point we get will help us track this thing down...

I also cannot reproduce this from the save. If it happens again, please post another save. I would very much like to fix this, I can understand it is very annoying.
