This savegame makes the game crash (Direct IP) on BOTH host and client computers. Just straight to desktop, and there seems to be no workaround.
 
happened to me on a huge map

i had lots and lots of units...crashes right after i click the end if turn button
 
Out of curiosity, is it more likely to happen if you are playing for a long time? I mean, if you quit every hour, and reload the game, does it solve the problem? Also, how much RAM do you have?

I have 512 mB and i seem to find quitting and reloading every hour or so seems to increase stability but i don't have the data to know if it's really working.
 
i have a duo core system with 4 gigs of memory

it has only happened to me once

it was a very long game

it corrupted the save file
 
I got this exact same bug. Click to end a turn and the game crashes. I went back several turns using one of the auto-save files and at the exact same turn the game crashes. Reboot the computer, play, get to that turn, game crashes.

Change what I'm doing, game crashes. You get the point. Anyone know whether this will be addressed? I find it frustrating that this build is named "Final Release" yet I can't finish a game??

P.S. - my computer has 1GB of RAM and a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor as well as an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 card, so the game should work for me.

File posted in the thread "WARLORDS: recurring CTD" for any who would like to take a look..
 
I have been reading these posts about all these issues and on one hand it comforts me in a bizarre way that I am not alone. On the other hand, it should not be this hard to play a video game. Am I crazy?
 
I have been having the same problem. A really hot game only ends in a memory failure. Very frustrating. I have all the updates and patches too. I'm running a AMD 3400 (~2.4 mhz) with 2.5 Gig Ram, and a Radeon X1600 Pro 512 meg card. So I really don't think it's the hardware. Any ideas on how to get around this?
 
I have a problem likes this but every time I click end turn after 1300 AD it will freeze up, load me the whole map for like 2 mi utes and then go right back to playing normally,


A similar glitch but I don't crash
 
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.
