CTD when build city?

[jamesk]

I have had all the numerous problems that everyone else has encountered so far. with various tweaks, programs and prayer i have managed to get it to successfully load the game with no sound stuttering no slowdown etc. BUT when i get into the game ( smallest map, lowest res) everythign runs normal, but if I hit Build town button I instantly crash. If i end the turn without building a town then i can usually get about 4-5 turns into the game before i crash. What i am mainly asking is what would cause it to crash when trying to build a town? or has anyone else encountered this so far? usually a game will last till i build a town ( then crash) or skip a few turns then crash. It allowed me to build the town once so far but crashed shortly afterword so im not sure where to pin point the problem, any advice besides wait for patch? it seems like a easy thing to fix because everything else is fast and runs smooth just certian unit commands/outcomes cause the instant crash. which doesnt hurt my desktop or cause a reboot.

I have the same problem when I build the first city. I also CTD at the end of the first turn. I have not gotten any further. I have also not seen any help on this issue.

I got the exact same problem. Here's my thread about it:

Bottom line: I don't think there's anything to do but wait for a new patch. In the meantime we can hope that all the turkey hasn't made Firaxis programmers too fat and lazy, and we can continue roaming these boards in frantic search for a solution.
