Random Crashes

[gunburned]

I seem to keep getting random crashes to desktop! They all keep happening around 100-200turns in. Im running v 2.81. Sometimes I can bypass them by going into the editor and deleting / moving stuff. But eventual I come to a point where going into the editor causes a crash aswell! Ive tryed letting the ai play my turn but still nothing. Ive got like 6gb dd3 ram I7, the works. Could it be 64bit xp? Any advice would help thanks.

I'm getting random crashes as well, they seem to only happen when i press end turn, and if i reload the game i can keep going (until the next random crash of course).

Using RoM 2.81, AND 1.53

I use XP Pro 64bit and I don't have Random CTDs. Actually I rarely have any CTDs. (8GB of 1066 DDR2 ram Dual core e7400 wolfshead chipset, ATI Radeon HD 4650 vid card with only 512MB of DDR3 ram.)

Are you letting Windows run your Video performance settings? If you are, Windows will hog your Ram. Right click My Computer select System Properties then the Advanced Tab. 1st section under Advanced is Performance settings click to open. Then Select Visual Effects tab(should be the 1st tab). Adjust for Best performance or Custom.
I have used both but have settled on Custom as there are only about 5 options you really need.
Then select Advanced tab and check paging size at bottom. I use 2046MB.

Above the Paging file size I have also selected in both sections: Programs.

If you change the Paging file size and select Programs be sure to click Apply at the bottom then Ok.

Has worked for me for 9 months now.

Windows when left to it's own ways eats ram like candy. Especially if you select appearance over performance.

Hope this allows you 2 to enjoy RoM & AND.
