Hi all,
First of all I'd like to say that I'm sorry that I have to post my first post on this section. I have been observing the civfanatics forums for a while and I've been thinking about making an account here even before these problems occured
So basically the problem is that the game crashes when I try to load a previously made game. Sometimes the game crashes when I am playing too (This has happened only a few times, mostly the problems have occured while loading the games). I actually got the game about a week before Christmas and it worked fine (except having some problems using the mod browser, which I still haven't managed to get to work) until the crashes started yesterday after I installed Civ 4 and all the expansions to play it a bit in case I get bored with Civ5.
The situation when I first encountered the crashes:
After installing Civ IV and playing for a while I started a Civ5 game as France on a large terra map with 10 civs, 12 city states and prince difficulty (At this point I also had large scale mod and info addict mods on, them being the only mods I've been able to download). I played for some time, saved and left the computer for about four hours. When I came back, the game didn't let me open the save game. When it had loaded I had the error "Civilization V has stopped working".
I thought it was just a minor issue and I tried it again and again with no success. I tried to fix this by rebooting my computer and after that the game actually let me reopen the save game. When I was playing, I noticed that the leaderscreens were bugging. When a leader tried to speak to me, I only saw the buttons that I would've been able to press and what he was suggesting. The game somehow fixed this issue by itself, but soon after this the game crashed again in a similar way as before. After this I tried to start new games, but usually the game crashed when it was still loading.
I did some research to fix the issue. I tried clearing the cache files and reinstalling the game but neither of these worked. I also tested if there is difference between using mods and not using them and I found out there is no difference. I don't think that the problems are caused by my computer being too weak to run Civ5, since the game worked properly for about three weeks. Edit: I also did check if somebody else had posted threads about this subject. However, any of the cases didn't seem similar to mine (maybe due to lacking information?).
I hope that somebody knows something that could help me to solve the crashing issues as I am completely unable to play Civ5 due to them.
If the information about my computer is needed, it's here:
