I currently have GOG 18061 X-Wing Alliance v2.02 with DSUCP v2.5 installed, already have 3 pilots and I found I cannot create a new one.
I select "Create New Player", write the name of the new pilot, but when I click "OK" the X-Wing Alliance Launcher gets immediately closed.
Did anybody experience the same issue?

I forgot to write I installed the new Nebulon-B Redemption, the Liberator CR90 Corvette, the Firespray, XQ5 Platform and Pinook fighter before trying to create the 4th pilot.

I experienced the same problem a few months ago. I couldn't have more than 4 pilots saved at the same time.
Those crafts had not been released yet, so I think this bug has nothing to do with them.
I don't understand why I had 4 pilots whereas you are limited to a maximum of 3 though.

Is there an error shown in the event viewer?

Does it work if you create the new pilot with "XWingAlliance.exe" instead of the launcher? To do that, open the "config.cfg" file with a text editor (Notepad) and remove the "lastpilot" line. Then open "XWingAlliance.exe". A screen will open asking to enter a pilot name.

Tried in this way and it works. Thanks, Jeremy.
Then I've uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game + DSUCP v2.5, and now I can create new pilots in both ways.
I'm currently trying to re-do all the edits I did, I mean installing new crafts and editing pilots with XWA Piloteer, to find what caused the problem.
