crashes all the time

[cannon-fodder]

Hi, I have spent some time searching the forums but can't see anything that appears to help my situation.

My civ game crashes quite regularly. Goes to windows with "Civ 5 has encountered an error....send / no send" screen.

I have three theories on what is triggering the crash:

1) leader screens - It appeared to be an issue particularly when entering the leader screen. However more recently this doesn't seem to be such a problem.
2) starting new game - Now it mostly happens when I am starting a new game. It crashed after launching a new game during the speech intro about the race I've selected.
3) steam - it seems to me that I often get a steam news flash or some sort of steam activity immediately after the crash. I may be imagining this.

it will run fine for a day, then crash ever 5-10mins another day.

It also occassionally crashes randomely at the end of a turn. but not often, and civ has always been unstable

I am running windows with Dx9. My comp all meets spec as far, I have all the graphics setting set to high and it runs quick and smooth.

Appologies if this is covered but i can't find it and appologies also that this is a fairly broad question.

Cheers - CF

I have same problem... I set all options to low, thinking it might be from that. Sometimes it works fine, I managed to play a long game without problems. But I quitted many games because I was not happy with my civ. When I finally managed to make a nice civilization, the game crashes... turn 189 or something. I'm wondering if it's from game speed.. because when I played on normal speed I had no problems. With Quick speed (after 5 games on standard, when I was not happy with my civ, I started playing on Quick), the game crashes ! ... It's randomly... on a new game it crashed after like 50 turns. The bad thing is that I can't go back and continue game... if I load game, it will crash again.

Also I noticed some bugs.. rivers (they look ugly even on high), some red dots on ground .. and some other things.
