AI crashing my pc

[xDaishi]

Hey guys this is my first time posting here.

I wanted to just help the developers by forwarding some of the issues I've had playing OoB. I've played since release and absolutely love this game. It's a fantastic strategy game, kudos to all the devs!! I am currently replaying through the original US campaign and have noticed in the 9 months since I've last played that there are some new issues.

I've noticed that on maps with large AI calculations/quantity of units there appears to be a compounding issue where the AI will cause crashing. It will begin with after a set amount of calculation time and a video output reset (Game will have no video and then reset back to normal). This will happen multiples times as long as the AI has enough units to think with. After this video issue happens repeatedly with a couple AI turns it will then crash the game.

I've noticed if the AI has only a handful of units left this issues doesn't happen. I'm guessing a memory problem is causing this exponential instability of the whole game. The game returns to normal after running it again after a crash but the issue still repeats this cycle. However after a client crash windows appears to be affected as well with minimize, maximize, close buttons of any window being broken/ not shown.

I would also like to just note that the latest patch has indeed fixed, at least for me, the AI bug where it never finishes it's turn.

Trying to help keep the game running well and the forum a good place for all.
