Game crashes everytime I hit next turn. It worked fine until ... I have have no idea I did not change anything. I had very little disk space on C drive (only 60MB now I have a couple GB) but that did not solve the problem. I also changed my regional settings to English (United States), but that did not help either. My sound driver is quite old but I don't know where to find updates for that. I am playing on the largest map there is with everything set to abundant and all the races are enabled, and I am playing a custom race.
Here is my debug.err file:
