Elemental always crashes between turns 220-230

from Elemental Forums

Hello Everyone,

I've tried playing a few matches of Elemental now, and I have a rather frustrating (and game-breaking) bug to report.  Every time my turn count gets to around 225, the game crashes.  I've tried to make different tech/spell research choices, different build options, different diplomacy options, have moved all of my units around and even renamed all of my cities.  While sometimes the exact turn on which it happens changes, the game always does crash.  This has happened in exactly the same way over three different matches of Elemental.

One thing that I've noticed is that the sound always stutters slightly before the crash.  My system: Windows 7 Professional x64, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, nVidia 9800GTX+, 6 GB DDR2 RAM, Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio.  My drivers and Windows updates are all up to date.  Please let me know if you need any more information.

My apologies if this problem has already been posted elsewhere.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via pastebin. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

The file can be found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post that too.
