Crash at year 1200!

[liskooo]

Iv played a few custom games on maps from standard to huge, and they all seem to crahs at the year 1220.

Anyone else had this error? Should I just buy more RAM, or is there something I can do?

I got the patch, and it made the game fluently stable, untill year 1220. Then it just closes. No error messages, no nothing. It just shuts down...

Any ideas?

Hi!
The same thing happens to me. Game crashes every single time, no matter what I do, at 325 AD year, in normal game speed, or at some other year, but after around the same number of turns as it takes normal speed till 325 AD.
No help, did anybody hear for something like that and what to do?

What game? Civ4, Waarlords, Bts? Do you have a save that reliably crashes?
And:
Welcome to CFC to both of you

Civ4. And there is no any log or anything, it just crashes, no matter what I do, change, try. And I saw later on forum few more posts about the same problem, and a sort of solution, to save the game in worldbuilder mode, change the game turn in notepad - increase it for a turn or more, to go over that critical 325ad, and then load it..but it didn't work for me, beacause the game would crash while loading..

Here it is, trying to load autosave of 325ad also crashes the game immediately

it does not crash for me - so the save itself is fine. What memory do you have, what graphics card do you use? (those are the major reasons for problems, so I am asking )

I'm also having a problem very similar to this: crashing at 350 AD

running this game off a 256mb Radeon X600


I've heard of some kind of problem with ATI cards but don't know about the specifics, could that have anything to do with it?

Try turning the settings down a bit. Go to options and turn graphics to low. Maybe that will help.
