[0.9][Crash] CTD at end of turn

Game started to feel sluggish and at end of turn it crashed to desktop. No memorydump file. My whole computer feels kind of slow in windows as well after the crash.

For future reference, that crash report windows wants to send to microsoft, would that be useful to include in a bug report?

If there is no memory dump, it may be better than nothing. If in doubt, always err on the side of too much info.

Ok, I'll save it in the future then. And here's the dxdiag for my computer:

Same crash again, playing from the previousautosave linked above. Now none of my 2 autosaves can load. No dump this time either and I couldn't find the ms dump. The ms dump was not where the send dialouge said it would be and I didn't find it with a search either. Newest savefiles and debug.err:

[Edit]

Weird, now AutoSave.EleSav loaded fine, before I just got the panning camera to settlement over and over.

[Edit2]

And it instantly crashed when I ended the turn. I got a windows error ding and the game froze, couldn't do a thing. Alt-tab didn't work either. So I randomly alt-tab'd and hit enter as well ctrl-alt-dlt until the task manager appeared and elemental went poof. Going to try again with the same save.

This will be long so no more edit. Like I said in edit2 above I tried again with the same save. Only when it loaded it wasn't the same turn, I think it was an earlier turn, not sure since I've reloaded around the same turn a few times by now. Anyway, I save it as EOTCrash.EleSav and end the turn. Works fine, no crash. So I load the other autosavefile and end turn. While zooming and out of the clothmap I notice the only thing I see on the cloth map are my cities and units, no resources, hostile units, huts etc. I save this one as eotcrashemptyclothmap.EleSav and end the turn. This time it crashes. And this time I manage to secure the windows crash report as well. No dump from elemental though. The files:

I included Prefs.ini because I noticed it had the same timestamp as debug.err which I found odd since I haven't changed any settings.

Below are links to four elemental dumps that suddenly showed up, none with a timestamp that matches any of the crashes in this post. But they are from tonights session, one of them seem to match the crash reported in reply #3. They should all be from end of turn crashes anyway. That or from terminating the game when a save failed to load.

I hope this helps.
