CtD

[Nor'easter]

Playing FfH2, 0.41g, getting a CtD very late in the game. Checked the event log, here's the description:

"Faulting application Civ4BeyondSword.exe, version 3.1.9.0, time stamp 0x4a0c27e6, faulting module D3D9.DLL, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03705, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000697ed, process id 0xa14, application start time 0x01ca47930ef5192c."

Don't know if it's a FfH or BtS problem (haven't played regular BtS in ages), so posting it here since it happened while I was playing FfH.

If anybody knows of a likely explanation or solution, I would be grateful.

Thanks.

D3D9.DLL is part of DirectX, so it's likely a video problem. If you reload a save from before the crash does it crash again at the same point? If not then it's probably just a video glitch.

If it repeatedly crashes at the same point then save just before the crash and upload the save. Also state your video card and drivers version. If others with different video setups also experience the crash then something else might be the root cause.

@Emptiness:

I updated the driver for the video card and that seems to have solved the problem, at least for now. No CtD for several turns.

As I said, this was happening in the very late game -- I'd already won a ToM victory and kept playing for the fun of it -- so probably not a critical problem to solve. But thanks for the advice.
