1.2 Crashes on End Turn & on Save Game

FE 1.2 Unplaybable

from Stardock Forums

After about 60 turns or so, my favourite game becomes unplayable.  Has anyone else noticed this?  If I run 1.2 with Autosave off, I can sometimes get around the End Turn crash.  But then I can't save my game because it locks and crashes as soon as I hit Save Game. 

Everything in 1.3 should take a back seat to Making the Game Stable and fixing these End Turn, Save Game crashes.

Diarch, load the 1.29 patch which should solve most, if not all, of your problems.  It worked for me.

Thanks, Ambermonk.  I should give this a try.

1.29 made things MUCH worse on my computer.  Everything crashed the game - Loading, saving, starting a new game, ending a turn.  You name it, it crashed it.

I'm going to reinstall fresh from 1.2 with no mods, then go to 1.29 and see if it does the same thing.  If yes, at least I'll have the 1.2 full download on my computer for a resintall

1.29 works great for me not a single crash and up to 100 turns now. I guess it goes to show an i7 with vista 64 and an ATI RAEDON POWER COLOR 5770 HD 1gb video card is the way to go these days. ;) The old is still better than the new I see.

same problem here, don't know about my version but it is the most recent one on steam.

 

When I press "End turn" the sand-glass comes up, and never goes away. Reloading the savegame doesn't do anything.

When I exit the game it still shows up in the Windows - Task Manager and needs a manual kill.

I also am still having this issue of the saving crashing the game.  it occurs every game i tried(10+) between turn 70 to 150.  I have updated to beta 1.29 still does it.

I have encountered another problem with 1.29 Frog and 1.29 (1.3 beta).  I am well past turn 100, and my saved game seems to load fine.  The problem is that I now get a CTD every time I try to 'end turn.'  I've had 7 straight CTDs and my game seems to be paralyzed.

I guess I have no choice but to wait until 1.3 officially comes out, and then just start a new game.  In the mean time, I've ordered three new games from other companies in case my problem with FE is fatal.

I played one game for close to 12 hours straight (with only short break times) and it only started to lag and slow the system down right at the end of that.  That was 1.29.

No problems here still and I've been loading and reloading different saves over n over testing it and still no crashes. Must be something on their ends. I'm figuring virus protection programs.
