I agree.  This first time I start a game I get an all white screen for the map.  If I hit CTRL-N, I get a game that I can see the main map.  However, all my battles have the all white screen for the map again.  It is completely unplayable for me.  I also had a crash, but I'm not sure about the conditions.

Same issues here.  White screen when starting a new game, CTRL-N resets the overland map to normal, but combat screen is all white and impossible to fight other than under auto control.  Additonally when creating a sovereign, and choosing his profession, warlock, general, etc. the profession now costs one of the build points.  If you skip choosing the provession until you've used up all your build points and then choose profession you get a -1 to your build points, but the game lets you save the sovereign that way and use them.

I know, they are so lucky to get all the bugs and crashes. I am at turn 250 with no crash.    

Is there no structure on how to report bugs/errors/crashes?

YES THERE IS

Just saying you have a problem does nothing to help at all.

If all could post their specs and even graphical settings ingame - maybe it could be interpreted as helpful reporting.

I've had two crashes in 126 turns, which is actually less than half my former averaged rate with 0.86.

same observation for me, this is the first buggy version - it freezes for a few minutes then the following turn it crashes to desktop

I have tried it on two computers. One one I have a strange problem. I cannot see the animations that you get of a unit when you click on it. And I cannot see the animation of the chosen sovereign when I start the game. BUT if I make a custom sov, I can see and cloth him. 

Not so Buggy!      To be clear, I have a real sympathy for the guys that are having issues with v0.90!  I've had experiences like that too, over the years, and I know how frustrating that can be!  (Please report them to Stardock.)

That said, I feel the need to provide another report, of a user (me), who is experiencing an improved degree of performance, versus what I experienced with v0.86.  I have now played about 2.5 hours total, with only two crashes, both of which ocurred in the first hour.  At this pace, my crash-rate is running at only about half of what it was, with v0.86.

I have an update I have been meaning to apply, but I am on 12.2 and the latest is 12.3.

Normally, I would say update drivers, but the past few years that has become almost a knee-jerk, cop-out kind of answer.

If I hadn't been running all previous versions of the game with the same drivers and no issues, it would be another story.
