1.07 CTD

from Elemental Forums

I never had crashes before 1.07, but after starting a new sandbox game it has happened three times now and I have barely started, maybe 100 turns in. It is all related to the tactical battles versus Creatures, either initializing or during, apart from that I don't see any relation. The latest one happened just after capturing an independent City and then entering tactical battle versus nearby Spiders. It Autosaved just prior, reloading and fighting again results in no crash, go figure. Here is the Debug report via pastebin  http://pastebin.ca/1935695

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.

This happened after I reinstalled to a different directory. What can I do to get the needed fonts back?

 

Edit: Just needed to restart the computer, all the fonts are correct now.

For that, try rebooting your machine, Sometimes windows does not register the fonts immediately on install.

Otherwise I think I will have to shelve this until the CTDs are fixed.

If it's frustrating for you, it's your choice. Any data about the crashes will help us fix them, though.
