Open the game. Open a save file (two plus an autosave attached below) OR open a brand new fresh scenario. I used A Helping Hand, 1979, which is included in the Standalone Scenarios; the very first one listed, for convenience.
Hit play, then open any minimap -- tho the scenario map seems to do it most consistently -- and the game freezes an indeterminate amount of time, then crashes to desktop. This also happens if you first open a minimap and then hit Play. I am also attaching the exception log I got after enabling the "debug logging" feature.
All three files are in a single .zip, for convenience.
