Game crashing in hotseat

[Farfech'd]

My dad and I recently started a multiplayer game using advanced start, but it keeps crashing when his war elephant asks for orders. Does anyone know what could be causing it?

Welcome to CFC

is there an error message when ít crashes? e.g. in the windows event manager?

 

[Farfech'd]

No error message, I think. Just the standard 'Windows has detected a problem; is looking for a solution' pop up.

did you check in the windows event manager?
also is this game patched to date?

 

[Farfech'd]

I didn't see anything informative in event manager, but I'm not really sure what to look for. I'm using the 3.19 patch. This has happened a few times now, so if anyone knows what could be causing it I would appreciate the help.
