[1.05.016][Freeze] Nasty freeze semi-randomly

from Elemental Forums

First: apologies. I updated nvidia 330m driver from Jan version to Jul version, and I'm getting no more crashes to desktop.

But I'm now facing what I consider a worse bug. Playing in windowed mode, the cursor disappears, and the whole laptop occasionally becomes unresponsive: can't ctrl-alt-delete, alt-tab, or do anything. I have to hard-boot out. Very bad, worse than just a crash, imo.

No dump file produced, because nothing stops. But I've got a save game from the turn before and the debug.err in there, hope they help.

 

The game is actually fun now I can put together > 5 turns in a row. Too fun. Great work stardockites.

Just a hunch, but if you turn off auto-end turn does it still do this?

Still does this with auto-end turn off. Th game is now less playable after I updated drivers, and I'm a sad panda.

This occurred again on 1.06.

The music freezes (first?) and that can be quite disturbing. Cursor locks up. No keyboard input acknowledged.
