I am using Warlord v. 2.08 and encountering a similar problem. Sometimes it takes place upon saving or upon ending a turn, but occasionally it occurs in the middle of a turn. It happens at any stage of the game and crashes -- not to the desktop but to a blue screen. In some games I cannot make five moves before it crashes. I'm using a P-3 2.66 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and a Radeon 9700 video card with 128 MB video RAM. Somehow, though, if I use another family member's user profile, the problems go away. Has anyone else had similar problems?
I had crash issues before the patch, but the patch fixed some and gave me others that are worse. Absolutely amazing that 2K (and Sid Meier) would release a worthless patch.
