1.8 - Turn not ending

First off, I love playing this darn game, but it’s getting so frustrating dealing with errors I’m getting.

Now the problem I’m running into is that when I end my turn, the game stops responding. It does not crash to the desktop, but rather just stops responding and then windows asks me if I want to close the program or wait, and waiting does not help!

I’m playing with the following Mods:

XtraDeconstruct
Children of Storm
Black Market Bazaar
Champion Bonanza
Level 6 and 7 Cities
Necromancy Revamped

This is my System:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz (12 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Physical Memory: 12,288MB RAM
Card Name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570

Is this system not good enough for this game?? I’m actually getting the Graphics card updated later this week. (GTX 970)

I’m trying to play on a Huge map with 9 opponents.

The end turn problem happens early on, maybe 80 turns in or so.

Ave already done the following tweaks suggested by Primal Savage:

I also went through a number of OOM threads from the WOM forums. A few things that might help:

- Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date

- Make sure you have a large enough Paging file

Then, try to lower your in-game settings. These are mine:

- Particle Effects: You should probably uncheck this (I keep it checked for testing purposes, but when I play on large+ maps I turn it off).

- Other Outlines: This one is really a personal preference of mine, but you should probably uncheck it as well to improve performance.

- Cloth Map Only: This is a last resort measure. If all else fails, you can check this...

- Map Texture Atlas Size: I've heard this should be set to maximum, but I personally use the category (1024 x 4096) just under the maximum (1024 x 8192), which has given me better performances.
