[BUG][.275]Freeze on negotioation screen

[Kamamura]

Happens annoyingly often after last patch.

When a foreign Civ contacts me, I hear the appropriate music, but the screen hangs, going all black. I can still move the mouse, but the screen is completely black and the only option is killing the process.

HW: Nvidia 560Ti (latest driver 270.61), Core I5 on 2.66Ghz, up-to-date Win7 64-bit, 8GB RAM, running DX11 version.

Could not find Crash Dumps, and the logs show no serious error. Can I turn debug on somehow?

Okay, so since I am obviously the only one experiencing this, I will post a workaround I found:

In DX11 renderer config file, enable the option which substitutes rendered leaders with screenshots. It ain't pretty, but at least it does not crash.

I believe I will be able to single out the option that causes the crashes, but the process is time consuming.

Okay, I think it's this option:

AllowSM50 - if set to 0, the leader screens no longer crash the game.
