just discovered forts, and i think a city leveled because i heard the crazy sound it makes when it rebuilds all your houses to villas right before/as it crashed.

Took a break after that last crash.. decided to fire it back up about 5 pm and start a new game...

Welp today is becoming a crash fest.. wasn't gonna worry about the occasional crash but its becoming more and more frequent.

5 pm maybe 10 turns in

One more to add.. brand spankin new drivers from ATI(which btw from what i can tell didn't actually update the drivers for my actual card and caused all my fonts in elemental to be crappy tacoma or something.. see my other thread if you got a solution to that) so I hoped that would fix the issue, and against my better judgement started a game when i should be well asleep. Lasted ~1hr before crash.. tends to be my average..sometimes less sometimes more. But enough babbling heres the dump.

Interesting note on this one.. it crashed right As i clicked  a button in the diplomacy screen the "we want peace with you" or w.e button when you first meet someone.

Oh and to add insult to injury my sister whom i bought a copy for played all night without a crash <_<

so I know its stable on some systems.. just not MINE #:(

To be honest.. everytime i launch it i'm certain to get a CTD.. the question is not if but when.. 5 mins into a game or hour and a half. If i could i'd revert back to 1.09e as it was way more stable for me. So until  it's fixed.. or you yell at me to stop.. you'll get a new crash dump everytime I play.  }:)

I have had the /3gb switch on for the majority of my games. Since i've never seen it cause stability issues with any of the games I played i haven't thought much of it. However.. this of course could be causing issues So i'll make it point to have it off from now on when playing elemental. In short any Dump files you see after this post will be without the 3gb switch active.

 

I've lost immediate interest in elemental as of now due to crashing so much.. so don't take a lack of dumps after this to mean deactivating the /3gb switch fixed it.

If that is the case, I'll happily post to let you know that my issues were caused by me.

The version 1.1 seems a little more CTD prone on my system than any of the betas leading up to the 1.1 release?? No idea why. I CTD at autosave of turn 110, then CTD again at Turn 145. I am attaching both debug.err files for your perusal. Have fun.

BTW, I am using a SSD for the system drive, but the game is installed on a separate Velocoraptor HDD.

Game is a lot of fun. I played up to turn 260 something before restarting today. I thought the CTD yesterday might be due to custom Sovereign and/or custom race, so I recreated both with the 1.1 version, before I started this game today. The turn 110 was my first CTD in this game.

Good luck.

This. This is the case for me, too. I was perfect up until 1.09V, didn't download 1.09W, and now 1.1 crashes far more often for me, too.

Here, I've posted my last CTD, becuase at this point, it's getting a little ridiculous:

It's getting really stupid now.

CTD in full screen or stop message if I play in windowed mode.

Now playing on Vista laptop - same crashes as when on Windows 7 Desktop (Both 64 bit OS)

Had 4 more today.

Hard to fathom that this game has been out so long and is so unstable :-( Two completely unconnected PC's having the same issue (2 different OS's)

Press for end of turn - whammo "so long and thanks for all the fish"

It's great while it lasts - sadly - even on 2 different PC's -  that's rarely more than 40 minutes.
