Hi!

I am having an issue currently where occasionally my game will freeze upon entering the city screen.

The screen will seem to come up fine, as in I can see all the icons and menus properly, and the music will continue to play, my cursor will move, but the tile animations (fish swimming, etc.) will stop and the game will no longer respond, and I am forced to use the Task Manager to shut down the program.

The issue seems to only happen later in the game, and (possibly) only on larger maps.

My computer is on the lower end (3GB of RAM, 2 x 2ghz processors, Vista), and I run with the graphic settings turned down quite low so the game runs smoothly (I could keep them higher but it starts to chug in later eras). I play in Direct X 9.

The error does not seem to happen when I use the "Choose Production" menu that pops up. It can be triggered when I'm already in the City Screen, and use the left and right arrow keys.


I suspect that this might simply be the result of running the game on a lower end system, but I just thought I'd check and see if it was a known issue that others had.
