That's very odd; it sounds like your attempt at the settings.dat file didn't work because when the 9 is on the screen it's the auto-update step.  What's the exact path and name of the settings.dat file?

Not suggesting this as a solution, but it will really help with diagnosis: if you disconnect from the internet and totally disable Kapersky, does it still crash there?

cloneboy:
It's in the steam AI war folder.  ai fleet command - Runtimedata- settings.dat.

file reads;

SERIALIZATION_VERSION:67
AutomaticallyCheckForUpdates:0

When DCd from the net the game works just fine.

I... dunno what's going on, then :)  I wonder if maybe it's the steamworks stuff that's trying to get on the internet.  But looking at step 9 in the code there's really nothing like that that I can see.

One thing you could try is to run while disconnected from the net to avoid the crash, go into settings and disable automatic updates (it's a checkbox in the first column of the first tab, I believe), and save settings.  That would make sure that the settings file it's actually using has that flag.  Then quit the application, reconnect to the internet, and try again.

x4000:
Yeah, I agree, that's what I'd try -- just in case for some reason the permissions are messed up on that folder and it's writing into a shadow folder as can happen with Program Files in Vista/Win7.  You could also try forcing yourself to have full write permissions to the entire AI War folder and all its subfolders, and that might fix it if the other doesn't.
