Guten Tag Herr Russ,

you have to unrar the file (rar files are compressed files like zips), and copy the files you find inside to the designated target. There's an explanatory file inside the archive which helps you.

I believe that crew buttons were a problem from the start. I hit one once when I purchased the game 2 years ago. CTD. I found that there was a bug with these buttons. I do not mess with them anymore. I move my crew individually. It takes some time but hey, I can introduce myself as I drag their butts to another part of the ship!

I've found the same thing as well. If I drag the crew around manually all is well, but if I click the buttons I often crash the game. Don't use the buttons and you'll be fine. Also don't forget that you can click on a compartment and then right click on crew to move them there, which is much faster than dragging each individually.

This bug CTD to desktop upon use of crew management "macro" buttons has been there since release. Its still there. Well documented and discussed.

Just dont use them. Yea its a bit of micro management but hey you probably have a few "days" to kill anyhow.

Yeah, drag you crew around like I do. They usually scream a lot as I drag them from room to room. They really scream if I drag them to the diesel compartment..really hot and noisy in there

. I never had a problem dragging them around. I long since forgot about these buttons because of the bug.

I didn't realize you could click on the groups like that & avoid the buttons. I only clicked 'en masse' when I wanted them to rest..

Thanks for the help!!
