from Elemental Forums

I  play with DEP set 'ON' for all programs, and have had DEP several violations on 1.08.037.

Most recently, just as I cast imbue hero.

Tried the same thing several more times -- rebooting, moving to a nearby square, etc, did not help.  I had not changed my DEP setting since before the beta, and DEP errors were few & far between until recent updates (1.08.whichone?).  Also, I had embued heroes earlier in the same game.

Gave up on that hero, but several turns later it happened on another one.  Then I turned DEP off for Elemental, tried to imbue him again, and it just CTD-ed all by itself even without DEP.

save-game from just before it happens      http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8928343/QuickSave%20again.EleSav   --   try to imbue the loner next to the sovie & her stack.  Also, in the same game there is a food resource in the middle the captured city of Exih.  It only shows in the cloth-map, not zoomed-in, and I haven't been able to click on it to develop it.  It was like that when I took it.

Did you have enchantments active such that the imbue would reduce your essence below the amount needed to maintain them? That is a known cause of a crash.

Edit: checking save, that appears to be the case.
