I dont know what it means, can anyone help me fix it?

Not much to read from it, apart from it crashing. And by function names that it is related to gift sending.

Does it always crash, or is it random? Upgrading to the latest beta patch could possibly solve it, but don't get your hopes up too much.

I get the same error with 1.9.5.4. It is really annoying because it always happens at the same point in my game and blocks me from processing.

Can't attach save game because it is too large (17MB).

Stacktrace is the same (language is Hungarian) - looks like a programming error:

This error happens with 1.9.5.5 as well. It is really annoying. The only workaround I can do is to give small gifts to the empires myself so they don't try to send gifts to me. Only works for a short period before they try to send gifts again, crashing my game.

Would it be possible to get this fixed? I think the problem is probably in GiveGiftSmallWhenSufficientTimePassed() method: just add a check so System.Random.Next is invoked with a minValue that is always <= maxValue.
