1.19l DX error (with a twist!):

• This time I got a Windows warning that system memory was low - game then became unstable and DX CTD'd
• Debug - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119l/debug_dxerror.err
• Last manual save - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119l/119l_42.EleSav

• Last prior autosave - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119l/PreviousAutoSave_dxerror.EleSav
• No Dump
• Occurred as game became slow, windows provided warning that system memory was low due to game (first time I've seen this), came back to game, it lagged, then DX error
• Random vanilla large map - 12x8
• This is interesting. The first mention of map size in debug shows correctly! Yay!

Another 1.19l concern:

• System just became extremely sluggish at around turn 139 - was just cycling turns to get to literacy
• Didn't oom or dx error though
• EWOM just under 1.1GB with system at 2.2GB
• Sluggishness was unbearable, exited game successfully
• Debug (its huge) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119l/debug_sluggish.err

• Same thing as above except the game refused to crash - yay! But it was really unbearable.
• Same map

1.19m DX error (while testing AI):

• Moving around on cloth map
• Zip (no dump) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119m/debug_dxerror_S36.zip

119n DX error:

• Zooming in and out - transition between cloth and 3d maps
• Zip (save, debug, no dump created) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/119n_dxerror_63.zip

[Edit] This is weird. I just had another DX error and noticed that there is a dmp file in there. I think it was related to this crash. It wasn't there initially when I checked: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/Elemental1_19n-2011-04-21T23-42-10-182.zip

Yikes - 1.19n issue after a fresh load and ending one turn. Moving around on cloth map and boom!

1.20 DX CTD. Jimminy Frackin' Crickets! This time it CTD'd when I clicked on a city icon on the left UI. Fresh load around turn 46 made it to 55 before this CTD.

Ya, this one in particular is driving me nuts. It appears to really be a deal specific to my rig and/or graphics card. I'm at the point now of just asking what graphics card is best for the engine and I'll go buy it. Shouldn't have to as a customer but I'm at that point.

I have a ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series, current drivers. DX diag says I have approx 1,785MB of memory on it. From what I understand the ATI cards don't jive well with the Havok engine.

1.20 DX error. Cloth map, clicking to move a unit.

1.20 DX error. If I get anywhere near the settlement of Filler2 via the cloth map the graphics card becomes extremely unstable. This time it did 2 pseudo dx error recoveries in a row and on the third one it crashed. To avoid these errors every turn the only thing I can do is to vehemently avoid Filler2 via the cloth map. I don't seem to have the issues with the other settlements.

I need some help here - Derek? Brad? These errors are killing my motivation to play. I've been diligently reporting them via this thread and my pseudo dx error thread for months and my particular graphics issues seem to be getting worse instead of better. I don't see anyone else bitching about these so I'm alone on an island of ATI Radeon graphics crashes! Help please!

I think they want me to go away. I have a problem that is impossible to fix. My wife says the same thing.
