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 it via drop.io.

Looks like an OOM, yep.

Im also getting OOM crashes in Vista 64Bit at around 400 turns in.  while this is far better than the 100 turns i would get with 1.07 its still quite frustrating.  It seems that these crashes are pretty much limited to people using 64bit OS, but any idea when we unlucky few might see a real solution?

I'll also throw in, very similar computer specs, all the way to the video card and Vista 64. 

I'll attach the debug file and the zip here in a sec as well.

Here's the autosave file that I start from each time to recreate the below

I can recreate this error (tried now 7 times in a row )

If I move the group that the games starts with as selected, NW up the road towards the other NPC, and then cast Imbue spell from the one group to the single npc, it errors out every time.
