Been running your turn and it will not crash for me so can you tell me when exactly it crashes, at what point during turn execution, what is the last message you see displayed in the message box? Also which side are you playing and have you been switching sides?

I have problems playing the Japanese, between turns 41/12/8 and 41/12/16. Game regularly (every 2 hrs or so) minimizes itself; have to click the icon in the taskbar to restore the game. Then it will randomly (apparently) just crash, asking me to send a report to MS. I have attached a copy of the most recent report that was to be sent to MS. I didn't send the report because I know MS would offer no help.

It's a 19K text file.

Peace,
Doc Smith

Doc and Samro zip the save file and post it. Doc do you have screen saver enabled or some other background apps running (AV, e-mail…). Before game crashes what is total peak memory usage for game and free memory on box.

Because your save runs fine on my box I’m going to try and guess what might be wrong so ebrig78 I need to know what the last printed message is in the box is. Does the same thing happen in window mode and full screen?

Also everyone post your dxdiag file.

Actually it was. The problem was caused by use of the Off Map Turnaround.

This is a very nasty and very difficult issue in off map movement and is not yet solved.
