I recently started playing GCII again and the same problem of crashing to desktop, starts to crash when u know your going to win and taking the time to clean up the rest of the civs.
Does not matter if playing with tiny map(1v1) or huge map with 8 civs.
Drivers are all updated, virtual memory at 4000mb, autosave at 0 turns.
There seems to be no solution, tired of sending reports in.
This time I have no choice but to throw the game out, not going to put it away again because will lead to me trying to play again in 6 months time only to be frustrated again.
Is there another game by someone else that is similar to this one I can try out there?
Farewell and good luck Stardock!!!
