I have not played that many saved games with OOTP 24, but I've played it on multiple PCs of varying ages and operating systems, and I don't think I've had it crash on its own. But I recently installed it on a new laptop, and I had a strange Windows 11 crash last night.
I tried to use the Task Manager to force close OOTP 24 while a game was active, because I had forgotten to make a couple of crucial lineup adjustments before advancing to the game screen. But, when I clicked the option to bring up the Task Manager in Windows 11 while the live game was running, the whole system freaked out and caused the laptop to reboot itself. I've never seen that happen with any app before, including with OOTP. But when I tried to replicate it a couple of times, it didn't happen again.
Maybe this was just a weird fluke, but it's unfortunate that other people are having so many crashes. Inevitably, I suspect that it gets harder and harder to ensure stability across different systems and configurations, especially with new features and fixes all the time, plus old vs. newer code. But, if this is a significant trend, hopefully it can be reversed.
Hopefully everyone has been reporting these crashes in the bugs forum, along with any error codes or logs they can retrieve.
