I was clicking on the housing upgrade in civilization and I believe that I was entering level 5 of civilization when it crashed (It may have been level 6).  I was a decent number of turns into the game, however I do not remember exactly how many.

I know that this isnt a very detailed report, however I am sure any of the important info is in the mem dump.

Hmm...looks like memory was getting up there. Did you have an autosave to load from...i'd be curious if the problem persists upon reload.

I believe that I had autosave turned on, so I should hopefully be able to load from that.  I will check when I get home tonight and let you know.

Ok, I got a chance to load up the game again, and it turned out I was lucky the autosave was on the turn that it crashed on.

 

I loaded up the autosave and clicked "housing" for the upgrade and it CTDd again.

 

Following are the necessary files:

If there is anything else you would like me to try, or any other information you feel I can provide, please let me know.

[0.3][freeze]

I had something similiar except it just froze up upon clicking "continue" button when selecting the housing research.  This happens even when reloading the game from a save.  I was able to select mining and maybe another later on without picking housing, but if I pick housing then it freezes up.

I had to ctrl/alt/delete to quit game, so don't believe there is a dump file (didn't see one with correct time).  You should get the option for the housing upgrade, select then hit continue and that is where it freezes for me, mouse still moves but that is it.

I also have some save files that don't load back up if you want those from this same game.  They get stuck on the loading screen.
