same.

then i tried dx9, it does pass the crash in dx10/11, but the game still crash after few turns.
if i want to continue, i have to play in dx9, run few more turns, then crash again, though the crash no longer consistent in certain/specific turns, but it does crash few more turns later after loaded the game.

i'm at game year 1500-1600

patch my @ss

He/she can't, the game is bound to your account -> take down the offer, selling the game is at the end somehow fraud.
Thanks steams for preventing resales .

Selling the account is against their EULA (great, isn't it?), so both participants in that sale could get banned from Steam, so it's also not a good choice.

I had the same problems with crashes. Always happened when I moved a unit a long way (late game or not). What I do to keep that from happening is move he unit little by little, always keeping it within the same screen. Of course, this means you cannot set up the move and forget it until it's arrived at the destination. However, it does seem to work in keeping the game going.

Hope this helps...
