Game crashes after 220 turns

The first line...

"ENGINE
Significant turn time improvements."

Turn time is turn time. Not crashes.

I am running Win 7 - 64 bit.
I am just checking back, and although I am still avoiding the Large and Huge Maps, with the Standard map, after Verifying and fixing the files through Steam, the Game seems to have been fixed. No more crash problems. I am curious when the next "fix" will be distributed, and then I will try the Large and Huge maps and see if they are fixed as well.

Turn time is turn time. Not crashes.

Turn time improvement implies code optimization. If crashes are due to insufficient hardware for the given task (bad programming might lead to overly difficult tasks), then optimizing the software might inadvertently fix crashes too.

the crashes have nothing to do with driver-versions

CIV 5 is the buggiest games ever, 2K Coders are stupid noobs... i am happy that i havent spend any money on that !

My game was working just fine after doing 33 consecutive file checks. Then the latest patch came out and now it is back to crashing again. I am beginning to think that all the rearanging they are doing and using saved games from before a patch just makes things worse. If they let you choose which patch you are comfortable with and be able to pick among the different versions, maybe people would have less problems.

On my machine, late in the game it would always freeze up on changing turns. Seemed like the map size being bigger made it worse. Anyway, after the recent patch (217 ?) I was able to play till year 2323 without it freezing. I also got a bigger power supply, not sure if that was related. But its definitely quicker changing turns and more stable for me now. Anyone else find the same thing?

My pc has a AMD 9850 Quad core processor. NVidia GT 430 with 1 GB VRAM. Vista Ultimate 32 bit with 2 GB RAM.

same problem here guys
my configuration
E8400 pcs+hd6850 6gb ddr3 win 7 HE 64bit
it crashes at about 200 turn or even earlier if i use mods
i usually save each turn and reload to play 1 or 2 turn before new crash appears but it's really boring
i have to admit this game suc.ks, one of the most bugged game i've ever played

I have a similar problem.
I have played 370 turns and now I cant change turn. Im playing on the lagest map, (huge?).
In direct x 10-11 it just freezes and nothing happens.
In directx 9 it quits to windows and shuts down becuase of an error.
I have tried it several times but cant get past year 2090...
I have the latest drivers and are running on intel q6600 quad vista 64 and 4gb memory 512mb graphic memory.

I have now checked the integrity in steam. It said one file wasent valid and would be aquired. And I get a little popup window by the clock saying civ 5 something have been downloaded.
But when I run the integrity check again it still sais one file aint valid....

Anyway tried the game again but it freezed again just after clicking next turn....
