the same problem

update the video drivers - try, may be solve it, maybe not

Hello, thought I'd add my data to the pool. The application didn't quite get to creating the crash report (.zip is empty), so I'll just link the debug.err and .dmp files:

Details:

Crashed on Turn 200 after ending the turn. Error Dialog presented was "Out of Memory."

Question / suggestion:  are those of you who keep crashing playing with FOW disabled ?  If so, try turning it back on.

I have been getting these out of memory crashes frequently. I like the first part of the game, but I would really like to finish a game sometime. It seems to be related to the autosave feature.  Going to dig around and see about uploading.
