This is a "quick patch" as we are noticing some players are experiencing game crashes when their Firewall blocks access to manage the game logs and saved games. We write and manipulate logs to help with debugging, plus saved games require manipulating files on the player's hard drive.
This patch eliminates SOME file manipulation to reduce the firewall impact.
If players are still seeing crashes when trying to save the game (which happens automatically between each turn), please see the FAQ on the BoC Steam Community Discussion page for how to check and allow Firewall access and prevent this.
