Frequent crashin...and just about every other reported bug

from Elemental Forums

So yeah, I'm loving this absolute masterpeice of a game....I can see myself not sleeping and devoting more time than is healthy playing it...however.

I appear to have gotten just about 90% of the issues posted on this board present in my game.

City huds displaying incorrectly, terrible performance, CONSANT crashing (every 1-2 turns), missing units, alt-tab crash, unit boxes dissapering ect.

 

My main concern is the frequent crashing. It's sporadic and unpredictable minus the fact that it occurs prominently when I click the "end turn" button...the music will skip for a second then the game will crash...

That's my most recent crash dump file...I have about 60 of them now (I keep trying to play because the game is so good). The problem seems to get worse over time and as much as I'm enjoying the game...it's getting unplayable. I have to save after every action I take because of the amount it crashes.

 

Anyways...I hope this file helps solve the issues others are having (and my own of course)...if you need more from me lemme know.

The crashing stopped for me when I turned off auto save, however after the release version/patch I am no longer crashing with it on. Maybe deactivating it will help you? Stardock wanted me to reproduce a crash with it on, but I can't. X|

 

Oh, are you on a 64bit OS? Because that is not supported yet.

yeah running 64-bit.

 

I had figured that would have been an "issue" but not on the magnitude I'm experiencing.

 

which patch are you reffering to by "Release version" btw? 1.01? I've read a couple posts that people have said their games have stopped crashing from a recent patch....though the 1.01 isn't the "release version" and made my problem worse lol.

 

Did a check for updates via impulse and no luck, so just a little confused.

 

EDIT: Tried turning off auto-save....still no luck. 2 turns then CTD...
