I am on a large map, and at 10 turns from winning a technology victory
For the last 50-100 turns I have been having multiple crashes every few turns.
Solution was to auto save every turn. So whenever the crash occured, and I reloaded the game, the game went ok for one or few more turns.
I am starting to wonder if it isn't a random event triggering the crash
anyway, I am at 10 turns from victory, I click turn and ... nothing happens. The button in fact disappears. If I go in the menu and back on the screen, Turn button is visible and clackable but nothing moves.
Tried reloading previous autosave and the following turn the button stucks again.
Frogboy, the save file is 5.15mb so a bit too big for me too send by mail.
Any specific details that I can give you to help locating this bug?
In the meantime here some pc info (yeah I know need to update sound drivers, *grins*
)
