Pressing the 'end turn' button does not advance the game turn; the button changes color to yellow and depresses before reverting back to green, but the game turn will not advance. The UI remained functional, and I was able to ESC, Main Menu, and Exit without error. A crash dump .ZIP file was created. Elemental .ZIP
Had a weird graphics effect (see screen shot): ALT-TAB'ed to Windows, then back to Elemental, and graphics effect went away. Some turns laters, had a CTD. Screen Shot .ZIP File
The game reached a state where the UI stopped functioning (600+ turns in); I had just commanded my party to an invalid tile, heard the "bing" tone that indicates an invalid move to option, and the UI simply stopped functioning, although mouse cursor and music continued to function.

However, I noticed a second application running called "Error", and once I switched task to this application I finally saw the
Game interface froze after selecting a building to build and clicking 'Done'. Cursor moves, music plays, but no mouse scrolling, keyboard input, and GUI non-responsive. Had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to recover via Task Manager; no .ZIP was generated. debug.err dxdiag.txt

As reported before, under Windows7 Ultimate 64-bit, no .ZIP files are created following a game crash to desktop. Crashes do not cause any error messages, and act as if the exit() C function is getting called. Such crashes have been experienced after 5 turns of play up through over 200 turns of play, and seem very random. debug.err <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8723206/%28Elem
What other information would you like when the .ZIP files are not being generated as a result of a crash? I've had over 20 now, and no .ZIP's to speak of.
