I have done a bit more troubleshooting and this is what I've found by looking through nightly backups:

Turn 54 - everything seems fine. The problematic SB (at Planet #232: Lynch) seems fine for this RST file, I cannot create a crashing situation.

Turn 55 - the bug starts to appear. I can click A to access the "build torpedo" screen, and I can click every tab EXCEPT the "Beams" tab in the build ship screen. When clicking the Beams tab, PCC2 crashes with the error described in the above post.

Turn 56 - the bug is now worse - cannot click A to build torpedo, and when trying to build a ship PCC2 crashes instantly (same error as above).

I have uploaded the Player1 RST files for the above 3 turns, as well as the submitted .TRN files (for turns 54 and 55) to this folder:

https://planetscentral.com/file.cgi/xhumeka/bug20220303/

The only other thing I'll mention is that there was a weird error thrown in the ERROROLD.LOG file, but it was only thrown for turn 56:

**********************
03-01-2022 04:01:18
Turn Number: 54

**********************
03-02-2022 04:01:20
Turn Number: 55

**********************
03-03-2022 04:01:20
Turn Number: 56

DATA UNDERFLOW ERROR! in player 1 .TRN file

I already told those playing this game that I won't be running another game on such an old Host since these weird problems keep popping up, but any help you can provide to keep this game going until completion would be grealy appreciated!! Thanks Stefan!
