Not sure what is causing this but in the middle of some of my games, the game just completely closes down. Normally restarting the game allows me to continue but its becoming annoying having to constantly restart the game. Any ideas? Can post save games if it helps.

If it didn't happen at the the start of the game it could be your hardware.... My late games will crash to desktop sometimes if I start clicking around the map too much. I've started into the habit of saving at end of each turn just in case and have autosave on every 2 turns. Was not doing this in early parts of game - I think too much stuff going on....? (Have 8GB ram on 64bit Win7 so it's not a 'not enough ram' issue)
 
as skie said, game will crash if you click too much on the map, for example if you playing on huge map, with full vision, and at some point you want to look around
a. save your game
b. do that when you quiting :)
 
It's been found that the city displays are overloading the Graphics engine and C2C has implemented some new code to deal with it. Changed the level of City Detail.

Don't know if Afforess will implement it into AND. But it's available to him if he wants to. C2C is based off of AND and Aff has already backported some of the New C2C implementations into AND 2.0 SVN version.

Otherwise set Autosave to every turn and reduce map scrolling.

Thanks it is the map scrolling thing thats giving me the trouble. Problem is late in the game your empire can get quite large and the game auto jumps around as each city requests its building.
 
Mine is crashing every turn now or so....I think over 100 cities on the map though... (Huge)
 
Since this doesn't happen always, I've watched my actions during playing:
The problem always happens if/after I minimize the game.
Once I switch to another application and back, the game would (sooner or later) hang while dragging the map.
If I do not tab out, the game works without a problem.

Hope it helps.

I never minimized my games and still happened to me... only in later stages though - maybe late industrial or so and gets worse as game progresses after that.

Could you provide more details about this?
