version 1.08 reoccuring game freeze on turn 280

Title says it all. I was really starting to enjoy the game under the latest version...but the game freezes at turn 280. I have dropped back to several earlier saves and played up from there and every time when I once again reach turn 280 the game locks up. Anyone else had this problem??

what happens on that turn? certain events can freeze you up. I had 1 of my grand children from a dead faction pop up on my capitol and freeze the game. happened everytime on load up. Also for Kingdoms when you get the upgraded houses, if you have alot of them it freezes the game as well.

I have feeling that such crashes occur when some events happen in game (or may be one too many event and memory is not freed so it crashes). So in addition to restart from old save do everything possible that different events pop on crashing turn.

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.

If the savegame reproduces the issue, please post it as well.
