I apologize if this issue has been resolved before, but I couldn't find it. All the forum posts I could find related to this issue just died because no one could answer it.
So here's my issue. When I first start up Civ 5, the first game that I load(whether it's a fresh game or a saved game), it loads fine, but the second time I try to load either of them, I get a CTD with no message.
I thought it had something to do with paged pool memory running out(because I'm still using windows xp lol), so I tried increasing it via registry edit but it didn't fix the problem(maybe it's still not enough, or totally unrelated).
The game itself works fine, I finished a standard sized game with no crash during the game or slowdown that made the game unplayable, with highest settings.
The odd thing is that it didn't crash when loading the game I mentioned the second time, or even third time a few days ago, so I thought it somehow fixed itself but I encountered it again today.
Please help me!!!
PS. I don't know if this is related or not, but I tried starting a huge game and when the game loaded, there were red squares in place of the resource icons on tiles. Same red squares on unit/building pictures in civpedia too(except bigger to cover the whole pictures). However when I loaded again, they weren't there. It appears to be random.
Specs
OS: Windows XP 32bit Professional SP3
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
RAM: 4GB(Limited at 3.25G)
GPU: Radeon HD 6850
